Driving Lessons

On 1 June 2025, West Coast Driver Training will be increasing its prices for Class 5 and Class 7 lessons from $145.00 for a 90 minute lesson to $160.00 for a 90 minute lesson.

Our prices for subsequent Class 5 and Class 7 lessons will be increasing from the current $140.00 to $150.00.

This increase is the result of rising costs and it brings our pricing in line with the majority of Driving Schools in Nanaimo and the Cowichan Valley. These rates are still very competitive in comparison with leading Driving Schools in Greater Victoria.

Our new prices for Class 5 and Class 7 lessons, effective 1 June 2025, will be as follows:

• One (1) 90 minute lesson – $160.00 + GST (currently $168.00)
• Two (2) 90 minute lessons – $310.00 + GST (currently $325.50)
• Three (3) 90 minute lessons – $460.00 + GST (currently $483.00)
• Four (4) 90 minute lessons – $610.00 + GST (currently $640.50)
• Five (5) 90 minute lessons – $760.00 + GST (currently $798.00)
• Six (6) 90 minute lessons – $900.00 + GST (currently $945.00)
• Seven (7) 90 minute lessons – $1050.00 + GST (currently $1102.50)
• Eight (8) 90 minute lessons – $1200.00 + GST (currently $1260.00)
• Nine (9) 90 minute lessons – $1350.00 + GST (currently $1417.50)
• Ten (10) 90 minutes lessons – $1500.00 + GST (currently $1575.00)

Our prices for two hour Class 5 and Class 7 Road Test packages will be increasing from the current $175.00 plus GST to $200.00 plus GST (currently $210.00)

Clients booking lessons before 1 June 2025 will still get our current rates.

West Coast Driver Training has maintained its current lesson prices since 2020 but, unfortunately, due to rising fuel and insurance prices, along with rising prices generally over the few years, West Coast Driver Training will be raising its Class 5 and Class 7 lesson prices on 15 April 2024.
