Drives/observations

  • 5 drives and 1 observation are required. You can have two drives scheduled at one time. (You have 6 months from the first day of class to complete your course requirements)
  • If you schedule your observation first, you can also schedule two drives at the same time.
  • What is an observation?  During an observation your student will sit in the back seat and observe another student drive with an instructor.   —->>>>  We do not wait for observers.  So please be a few minutes early or right on time. The drive will leave without you if you are late. <<<<---- There is no fee for a cancelled or missed observation.
  • Remember…  You do not need to have experience driving at home to schedule your drives with us!  We tailor the first few drives to your student’s current experience!
  • We have instructors scheduled every day: Weekdays 930am-9pm, Saturdays 9am-6pm and some Sundays 1pm-6pm.
  • You may need to schedule a drive during school hours, just like a doctor/dentist appointment.  Drive #4 (freeway drive) might be a good one to schedule during the day!
  • The bulk of our drive schedules are posted 1 month at a time on the 17th of each month. Log in as early as possible on this day for lots of options!  Drive times fill fast, so please don’t wait. If you have trouble, please contact us right away.
  • We post additional times throughout the month, so keep checking!
  • Every student is on the cancel list, so be on the lookout for emails when there are cancellations.  The emails will come from xcelerate@drivered.mail.
  • Remember, we charge a $60 cancel/no-show fee in the following circumstances:
    • Less then 24 hours cancel notice.
    • You do not bring a valid permit to your drive.
    • You are more than 10 minutes late.
    • You do not show up to your drive.
