PRIVATE DRIVING INSTRUCTION

For behind-the-wheel instruction costs range from $115 to $185

Classes usually last for seven days. Instructors often provide flexible hours, such as after school, at night and on weekends.

Students are typically paired in the car because they are required to drive seven hours and observe for another seven hours. They must complete the classroom part of the course - usually provided in high school - before taking behind-the-wheel. Some instructors also provide the classroom instruction as part of a package.

If a student passes the course, the instructor will issue a temporary driver's license until the official license is ready.
