CANCELLATIONS / CHANGE OF BOOKING

A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required should you need to cancel or alter your scheduled lesson/booking.

We understand that from time to time that students may need to reschedule or cancel a driving lesson.  When you book a lesson with Learn Drive Survive, you are securing a professional trainers time and being allocated a specific time and date for your lesson. This ensures their resources are allocated solely to you for that time and date.  This applies only for the duration of your  driving lesson booking, and as a result there are associated costs with reserving you the trainer and these resources.

When a student books a driving lesson, we need to allocate a vehicle and driving instructor’s time, meaning no further bookings can be made for that specified time and date and excludes all other students. By cancelling a driving lesson late, your driving instructor is unable to work therefore unable to re-schedule another potential student.  Cancellations can be made via telephone, text message, email or through Facebook messenger.

If you decide to cancel your driving lesson within 24 hours, or simply are not available on the day of your lesson,  unfortunately, you are liable for the total cost of your lesson.  We trust you appreciate the need to maintain your booked lesson and provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice so we can attempt to re-book your lesson time.

If a student fails to have their current drivers licence on them, the full lesson fee will be charged and payable for the lesson.

LATE AND/OR NO-SHOW

If for any reason you are late for a driving lesson, you will only be permitted to use the remaining Lesson time if there is a scheduled lesson immediately after.  Please Note: You will be charged for the full lesson cost regardless of the remaining time used.

If you are more than 20 minutes late for a scheduled driving lesson and you have made no attempts to notify us, we reserve the right to cancel that lesson and charge a full lesson cost.  The same will occur if you do not attend your scheduled lesson.  We reserve the right to cancel the lesson and charge you for a full lesson fee.

You can be assured our commitment to you is to provide a clean modern vehicle and a professional trainer to turn up on time on your allocated lesson day and time. If we are running late by more than 5 minutes because of traffic delays, we will contact you. We require no less than 24hrs notice for any cancellations or change of booking as this may have incurred a loss or potential loss of another booking for that specified time.

If you decide to cancel your lesson, you must contact Learn. Drive. Survive on 1300 868 969 within 24 hours or email us at enquiries@learndrivesurvive.com.au.

CANCELLATION OF LESSONS BY LEARN DRIVE SURVIVE

All of our driving instructors will do everything possible to ensure that your driving lessons start and finish on time. If for any reason, your driving instructor is running behind schedule, you will be notified. If your driving instructor is late to a lesson, every effort to extend the lesson will be made otherwise a time credit will be added to your next driving lesson.

Learn Drive Survive reserve the right to cancel, postpone or change driving lesson lengths and start/finish times under certain circumstances (e.g., your driving instructor is sick, dangerous weather conditions, etc). In the event of postponement or re-scheduling of your lesson, any fees paid will be carried forward to the next driving lesson or refunded upon your request.

The driving instructor reserves the right to cancel a lesson immediately if the driving instructor suspects on reasonable grounds that the student is under the influence of any substance or any other condition that impairs their ability to drive safely. The driving instructor also reserves the right to cancel a lesson if the student does not follow the driving instructors instructions or drives recklessly or negligently or does anything which is unsafe or dangerous and there is an obvious danger to other road users and/or the public.

In such circumstances, the lesson fee is still payable.
