Package Details

  • 4 hours of dedicated in-car instruction with a certified professional.
  • Thorough preparation for both G2 and G testing standards.
  • This option does not include the use of our car on the day of the exam.
  • Highly recommended for:
    • Drivers who plan to use a family vehicle for the exam
    • Sharpening specific driving mechanics before the test
    • Understanding exactly what the examiner will look for

Scheduling Your Lessons

  • You can structure the time into 2-hour blocks or individual 1-hour lessons.
  • We coordinate the schedule to align perfectly with your upcoming test date.
  • Serving communities across Ottawa and Peterborough.

Ideal Candidate

  • Students who have access to their own vehicle for the DriveTest appointment.
  • Learners seeking more than a quick refresher, but who don't need a massive package.
  • Drivers needing professional guidance on parallel parking, highway merging, and defensive driving.

How to make your 4 hours count

  • Split it into two 2-hour blocks so you can practise on your own between sessions and come back with specific questions.
  • Since this package doesn't include a test vehicle, confirm your own car meets DriveTest requirements — working signals and brake lights, valid plates and insurance — well before exam day.
  • Use the time to polish the fundamentals examiners score on every test: observation, spacing, smooth control and complete stops.

  • Adjustments to your booking require at least 24 hours' notice.
  • Failing to provide adequate notice may result in standard fees. See our school policy for full details.

Common Questions

Can I add the car rental later if I change my mind?
Absolutely. You can simply book our separate “Road Test – Rental Car” service online when you need it.

Is 4 hours considered enough training?
It usually is, provided you have been actively practicing outside of these lessons.

Will we cover specific maneuvers?
Yes, your instructor will tailor the 4 hours to focus heavily on the maneuvers you need to master, like reverse parking or highway lane changes.
