Driving Lessons FAQ

How soon can I start driving lessons?
You can begin driving lessons as soon as you have your learner’s permit in hand.
Are the lessons customized to each student?
Yes! Every lesson is tailored to your specific skill level, goals, and experience.
Do you offer lessons for adults?
Yes. New drivers of all ages are welcome (or if you want to refresh your driving skills).
How long is each lesson?
Lessons are typically two hours long and include pickup and drop-off. Each lesson is customized and focused on helping you improve based on your needs to become a safe driver.
Who are the instructors?
All instructors are licensed and meet strict training and background check requirements. You can trust that you’re learning with qualified, professional instructors.
How many lessons will I need?
The number of lessons you'll need depends on your experience, confidence, and how quickly you learn.
For teens, most states require a certain number of supervised driving hours to qualify for a license (usually around 30 to 50 hours in total). Some states also require a portion of those hours to be completed with a licensed driving school, typically about 6 to 8 hours of professional instruction. You can refer to our FAQ for each state to learn the specific requirements.
Adults usually do not have a minimum requirement, so the total number of lessons depends on your goals and how comfortable you feel behind the wheel.
Tip: Parents can accidentally pass down bad habits without realizing it. That's why we offer a helpful guide comparing parent-taught and professional lessons, plus tips for safer, more effective practice at home, based on our parent training guide for more effective at-home lessons. Our parent guide is used by driving schools across the country for better results when learning to drive.
Will I get feedback after my lesson?
Yes. You'll receive a post-lesson progress report that covers what you practiced during the lesson and what skills need more work. This helps you know what to focus on next and helps make your at-home lessons more productive as you can target specific areas.
Do you offer home pickup and drop-off?
Yes, home pickup and drop-off are included with your lesson. You’ll confirm your pickup address when you book online.
Can I take lessons even if I already have some driving experience?
Absolutely. Every lesson is adapted to your current experience level.
Can parents participate in lessons?
Parents are welcome to join in the back seat. They’ll also get a post-lesson report to help guide safe and effective practice at home.
How can parents ensure their teen becomes a safe driver?
A parent’s involvement is the number one factor in helping teens become safe, confident drivers. That’s why we provide a Parent-Teen Training Guide, a step-by-step resource to make at-home practice safer and more effective.
What do I need to bring to my first lesson?
You’ll need your valid learner’s permit, any required paperwork, and comfortable shoes for driving. Also, remember to bring your glasses or contacts you use for driving.
Can you help me prepare for the written test?
Yes. Zutobi is the largest DMV prep provider in the U.S., you can download our app on the App Store, Google Play, or practice online.
Is there a minimum age to start driving lessons?
This varies by state, but teens can usually start as soon as they have their learner’s permit, which is often around age 15 or 16.
Do you help nervous or anxious drivers?
Yes. Each instructor is specifically trained to work with nervous drivers. Lessons move at your pace and focus on building confidence safely.
