Isle Drive Lessons & Rates
Due to the current Covid-19 Safety Requirements, only the driving instructor and one student will be allowed inside the car for the duration of each lesson. Parents or guardians will not be permitted to accompany the student and ride-along inside the car until further notice.
We offer several different lesson packages, which can be custom designed to suit the individual needs of each student. Our prime directive is to prepare the student for the real-world environment of safe defensive driving.

The instructor will be available at ICBC throughout the duration of the road test and recommend giving permission to the Examiner prior to commencing the test for the instructor to be part of the debrief following the assessment.
Our vehicles are only available for Road Tests for students who have taken lessons with us.
Students must have a valid BC driver’s license or a foreign driver’s license recognized and valid in British Columbia before taking driving lessons with us. Students must carry their Driver’s License at all times during training.
As required by ICBC, students must show their Driver’s License before the lesson. We are not able to conduct a lesson for a student who does not have their driver’s License with them at the start time of the lesson.
We offer individual in-car training only.
All of our lessons are with a single student in the car with one Instructor.
Pick-up and Drop-off are offered for in-car lessons depending on your location. Please call or email to enquire if we service your area. Lessons start at the time scheduled and end after a short debrief and Q & A when we reach the drop-off point designated prior to the lesson..
If any student is deemed by the Instructor to be impaired in any manner the lesson will be ceased, and the student will be charged the entire fee for the lesson. For obvious reasons, we will not allow anyone we consider impaired to operate our vehicles.
If you wish to cancel a scheduled driving lesson, you can do so by texting 250-252-4753 or by email at info@isledrive.ca. 24 hours’ notice must be given to cancel a lesson, or students will be charged $60 for late cancellation.
The student will be called or texted after 5 minutes delay at the pickup point. If the student has not arrived 15 minutes after the lesson was scheduled to begin, the instructor may consider the lesson forfeited unless other arrangements have been made. In this case, a cancellation fee of $60.00 will be charged.
