FAQs

If you can not drive, you can attend our driving lessons as we offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off service at your home, school, or workplace. Our staff will pick you up before your driving lesson and return you afterward, so you can attend behind-the-wheel driving lessons or driver education without needing your own vehicle.

Yes, you can take a drivers education course at Northwest Driving School without a permit. The drivers education course focuses on rules of the road, safety, and knowledge-based training, so you do not need to be legally allowed to drive to enroll. However, you must have a valid learner’s permit before you can participate in behind-the-wheel lessons.

For teens in Nevada, Northwest Driving School’s program includes 15 hours of classroom driver’s education plus at least 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving lessons. If you need more practice or test preparation, enroll in additional driving hours, with many students choosing 10 or 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving lessons to build confidence. Adult students can tailor their hours based on experience, starting from a 2-hour driving lesson and adding more as needed.

Yes, you can take driving lessons from NWDS with a valid out-of-state learner’s permit, provided the permit is current and meets the basic age and supervision requirements.

Yes, you must have a valid learner’s (instruction) permit in Nevada before you can register for a behind-the-wheel driving lesson with Northwest Driving School. The drivers education course can be started without a permit, but in-car driving practice is only allowed once you hold a valid Nevada learner’s permit, as required by state law.

If you are involved in a crash during a driving lesson, your instructor is trained to respond quickly and safely. Our training vehicles are equipped with an instructor’s foot-operated brake (often called “road brake” or “padel brake”) and a hand brake, so the instructor can help stop the car in an emergency to reduce the risk of a more serious crash. Our insurance covers damage to the training vehicle, and afterward, you will be guided through any necessary reporting steps and can continue your driving lessons with added support to regain confidence.

Yes, Northwest Driving School offers flexible payment options and can arrange installment plans based on the chosen package and schedule. Please speak with our office at 702‑212‑5667 to discuss a plan that fits your budget.

You need to give at least 24 hours’ notice if you want to reschedule a lesson. If you reschedule more than 24 hours before your appointment, you can change your time on your own through your NWDS dashboard at no extra cost. However, if you need to reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, you must call the NWDS office, and a $50 reschedule fee will be charged for the missed lesson.

Yes, NWDS provides DMV-certified vehicles for your driving test. We schedule your appointment, provide the vehicle, and have an instructor accompany you to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. You can also rent our DMV-certified vehicles for your drive test, starting from $300, depending on your package and availability.

If you do not have a car, you can still practice driving by enrolling in Northwest Driving School’s behind-the-wheel driving lessons, where we provide insured, DMV-certified vehicles for training. Our instructors supervise all practice sessions so you can safely build your skills in city traffic, on freeways, and in parking situations. You can also use our vehicles for the official DMV drive test, starting from $300, depending on your package.

Once you have successfully completed the course and passed the final exam, we will issue you a certificate of completion. Take your original certificate of completion to the DMV when you take your Drive Test.

I had a great experience with Northwest Driving School! A huge thank you to Debra and Frankie for being patient, supportive, and helping me gain confidence behind the wheel. I learned so much from their lessons, and thanks to their guidance, I passed my driving test on the first try! I highly recommend Northwest Driving School to anyone learning to drive.

Just finished the 6-hour course and I'm satisfied with my experience. This was truly an experience and worth every penny. I had 2 classes with Pedro that taught me how to drive safely and get rid of any bad habits my parents taught me. Pedro explained very well my mistakes and details on how to improve my driving and pass my exam. I had my final lesson with Margaret before the day of my exam to polish up any last minute mistakes and improvements which allowed me to pass my driving exam 1st try. Margaret was very relaxed and informative. If you're an experienced driver and are unsure or nervous for your driving exam I would 100% recommend Northwest Driving school!

Thank again Pedro and Margaret!

I took three driving lessons with Debra who was an amazing instructor! She gave me great insight and showed me potential routes for my driving test. I feel much more prepared for the test now. Thank you Debra!

I had a wonderful learning experience with Northwest Driving School and Margaret Estrada helped me out plenty with my very first time out on the streets. When I started out, I found myself with a lot more driving anxiety than I thought, but I was really able to work through a lot of that and come to a more comfortable standing with my ability over time with these lessons. My instructor was very thorough, telling me what to keep in mind for my driving test, as well as pointing out immediately what I need to work on. We also went on common routes used for the test, so I’m much more familiar with what to expect. I really appreciate the guidance and patience given to me behind the wheel for the five days I had with Margaret, and now I look forward to using all the knowledge I’ve gained to really get out there on the road.

💙 “A great instructor teaches you how to drive, but an exceptional instructor teaches you to believe in yourself.”

I cannot thank enough my driving instructor ROY JOHSON for his patience, kindness, and dedication throughout my learning journey. From day one, he believed in me, even during moments when I doubted myself. He always remained calm, encouraging, and understanding, no matter how many mistakes I made. His ability to explain things clearly and patiently helped me overcome my fears and gain confidence behind the wheel.

Learning to drive can be stressful, but he made every lesson a positive and comfortable experience. He never gave up on me and always motivated me to keep improving. Because of his guidance, support, and unwavering patience, I became a more confident and capable driver.

I am truly grateful for everything he taught me—not just about driving, but also about believing in myself. Thank you for your professionalism, encouragement, and genuine care for your students. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for an outstanding driving instructor.

They didn't really teach anything. They just let the kids drive. There wasn't one week that a car wasn't out of service because of an accident. My child did 10 hours of behind the wheel and didn't improve a bit.

If I could put 10 stars i would do it. DEBRA is truly a blessing to us, im glad we picked her. She is so caring and an amazing teacher to my daughter. She helped us to prepare all of the papers we will need in the driving test. She is a great person. My daughter is now an official driver.
