Welcome to EZ Driving School – Your Trusted Partner for Over 35 Years
We’re thrilled to guide you or your teen on the journey to becoming a confident, safe, and responsible driver. Here’s everything you need to know before attending our classes and lessons:
Choose the Best Path to Success with EZ Driving School’s Drivers Ed Classes
At EZ Driving School, we offer both live, in-person drivers education classes and a convenient online option. While both formats cover essential driving knowledge, our experience shows that students consistently perform better with a live instructor. In our live classes, students benefit from real-time explanations, interactive discussions, and the chance to ask questions, helping them understand the why behind the rules and laws.
This personalized interaction builds confidence and clarity, giving students a strong foundation for safe driving. We highly recommend enrolling in our live drivers ed class to gain the full advantage of an interactive learning environment tailored to support your success on the road!

Certificate of Completion
You’ll receive your certificate once you fulfill the class requirements. For our 4-day course, certificates are provided on the last day. These official DMV-issued certificates are one-of-a-kind and cannot be copied or faxed. If you’ve taken your course with us online, please allow 7-14 days for processing and postal delivery.
Eligibility for Driver's Education
You can enroll in driver’s education at any age. However, to obtain your permit on the same day, you must be at least 15 ½ years old.
Do Classes Have to Be Taken Consecutively?
No, classes do not need to be completed in a row. However, it’s your responsibility to ensure all classes are finished within the semester. To secure your permit, you must complete driver education and be enrolled in driver training.
Can I Drive Home After Receiving My Permit?
Not just yet! Before you can drive independently with an adult 25 years or older with a valid CA license, your permit must first be validated with a professional behind-the-wheel training session. At EZ Driving School, we offer lessons in two-hour increments, providing the training needed to build your confidence on the road. For students under 18, a total of six hours of professional driving instruction is required to qualify for the DMV's behind-the-wheel test for a license. Let us help you take this important step safely and successfully!
Private Lessons Just for You
Our lessons are entirely private, designed for focused, one-on-one learning. At times, your instructor may have you drive to or from another student's home, providing a valuable opportunity to practice real-world driving.
Scheduling Your Lessons
Lessons are scheduled in three 2-hour sessions. We recommend scheduling the first lesson soon after obtaining your permit, the second as you build confidence, and the last about two weeks before your road test. During summer, appointments fill quickly, so please plan accordingly to avoid last-minute stress.
Driving Conditions and Lesson Timing
We prepare students to drive in real-world conditions, including rain, night driving, and heavy traffic. You’ll gain essential experience under all circumstances, building skills for safe, confident driving in the Bay Area's dynamic environment.
Lost or Damaged Certificates
Certificates are essential DMV documents, so please store them securely. If lost, a replacement administrative fee of $85 will apply. We don’t keep copies, as the DMV only issues one original certificate per student.
Scheduling Your Driver Training
Once you have your permit, simply call us to set up your driver training. Have your permit and expiration date handy when you call.
Office Hours
Our office call center is available Monday through Friday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. For your convenience, we also offer a 24-hour voicemail service to answer any questions outside of these hours. While the office is closed on weekends, driver education classes and behind-the-wheel training are still available and can be booked during regular weekday hours. We’re here to help you stay on track with your training schedule!
Appointment Cancellations
If you need to cancel a lesson, please notify us at least 72 hours in advance. Cancellations made without a 72-hour notice, as well as no-shows, are subject to a $200 fee to compensate our instructors for their reserved time. We organize all appointments through our main office and rely on your commitment to be present once scheduled. Thank you for helping us maintain a smooth and reliable schedule for everyone!
Requesting a Specific Instructor
At EZ Driving School, we understand that a good instructor-student fit can make all the difference in learning success. While we cannot always guarantee specific instructor requests, we make every effort to accommodate your preference when requests are made prior to scheduling.
We encourage you to visit our Yelp page and explore our reviews, including any that may be hidden, to help you make an informed decision about which instructor might best suit you. Rest assured, all of our instructors are highly skilled, friendly, and come highly recommended with five-star reviews.
If you ever feel that an instructor isn’t the right match, just let us know—we’re committed to providing a comfortable, personalized experience tailored to your needs!
Scheduling Through the Office Only
To maintain organized and efficient scheduling, all lessons must be booked through our main office. This ensures clear communication and a streamlined experience for everyone.
Insurance for Lessons
You don’t need insurance for our lessons; our policy covers any incidents in our training vehicles. However, please note that parents or guardians sign a financial responsibility for any damage, as explained in the California Driver Handbook.
Driving with a Permit
After your permit validation, you’ll need to complete required training hours before carrying passengers. Exceptions may apply for school functions, medical needs, or work – please review the California Vehicle Code for full details.
We’re excited to be part of your journey to safe, confident driving. If you have further questions, please contact us at any time. Welcome to the EZ Driving School family!
