9. It may occur if the RSA cancels a test at the last minute, i.e. due to frost/icy conditions or driver tester illness. I’ll issue you with a receipt that can be sent to the RSA. Following that, you will receive a refund of €100 for your car hire charge from RSA.

10. It is your responsibility to make sure the time for your driving test is correct, and if you’re late or too early, you will be charged for any extra time given. In case you hire my car and we arrive late at the test centre as a result of forgetting the time, you will be charged for the pretest and the car rental. Unless the driving test is conducted.

PACKAGE BOOKING

Six hours package and 12 EDT lessons must be paid in full at the first driving lesson. Instalments cannot be paid for package bookings. EDT lessons or any outstanding lessons must be completed within 6 months of the first lesson. After 6 months from the first lesson, any remaining driving lessons will not be fulfilled. In this case, we provide no refund.

PRETEST LESSONS & CAR HIRE

We cannot give the car to someone who has no chance of passing the test.

Therefore An ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of 3 hours is required before the actual driving test. It must include at least a 2 hr session and then the hour before the test.

The pretest lesson can be done in a 1-hour session if we start and finish at the chosen test centre.

We will require two hours of pretest lessons to get the best possible benefit for you if we don’t meet and finish at the chosen test centre.

CANCELLATION POLICY

You can cancel your booked driving lessons simply by contacting us.

To get a full refund for the lesson, you must give us a strict 24-hour cancelation notice before the lesson appointment. The same rule applies to re-arranging lessons, including pretest lessons.
If you cancel your driving lessons in less than 24 hours for any reason, you will lose the full fee for the duration of the driving lessons booked.
