Common Questions

How far in advance should I schedule?

Schedule your appointment 2-4 weeks in advance for the best availability. Popular times (afternoons and weekends) fill up faster. Check the office hours for available time slots.

Can I reschedule my appointment?

Yes, you can reschedule online or by calling the office. Try to give at least 24 hours notice. Cancelling last-minute may result in having to wait longer for the next available slot.

Do I need an appointment for a teen driver?

Yes, teen drivers need appointments for their road test just like adult drivers. Make sure they've completed their required supervised driving hours before scheduling.

What if I don't have a car for the test?

You must provide your own vehicle for the road test. The car must be properly registered, insured, and in good working condition. Some driving schools offer car rental for road tests.
