Our Training Vehicles

We offer Class 4 Restricted, Class 5 and Class 7 training with our 2018 Toyota Corolla our 2020 Toyota Prius Prime, and our 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. With the gas powered 2018 Toyota Corolla, 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid and hybrid/electric 2020 Toyota Prius Prime we can offer our students training on all three leading technologies: gas, hybrid and electric. We offer Class 4 Unrestricted lessons on our Ford E450 20 seat bus.

For Class 4 Unrestricted lessons we use a Ford E450 20 seat bus (originally BC Transit bus No. 2189).

For Class 3 lessons we use a Mack Vision day cab equipped with a 13 speed Eaton Fuller manual transmission. West Coast Driver Training also uses this vehicle for Air Brake Courses. We are not currently offering Class 1 instruction since potential clients are having trouble affording the new MELT program required by ICBC since October 2021. We suggest that those wanting Class 1 training contact CSTT Driving School in North Saanich.
