Can I use the driving school’s vehicle for my road test?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Upon successful completion of the driver education course, your driving instructor will schedule your road test and you will have access to our vehicle. This service is included in the Basic, Standard and Premium packages. If you are unsuccessful on your first road test attempt,  your driving instructor will provide options such as purchasing additional driving lessons and using our vehicle for your second attempt. Applicable fees of $85 (+ HST) per hour will apply for both options. Your driving instructor will remain available for the scheduling of your road test.

To receive the government-issued certificate, you MUST take the driver education course. Therefore, you will be required to complete the online theory, attend the virtual in-class lesson, and complete a minimum of 10 hours in-car lessons. The road test will be held on the 11th hour (subject to the chosen package) if all course objectives have been successfully achieved.

Question 10

Do you offer pick-up and drop-off within the Greater Moncton Area?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide pick-up and drop-off services within the Greater Moncton Area. However, if you live outside the city limits—for example, in areas such as Irishtown, Memramcook, or Lakeburn—we recommend arranging a meeting point within the city. This ensures you get the most out of your lesson time by focusing on driving practice rather than travel to and from your location. If you have any questions about the best meeting spot, feel free to contact us!
