Behind the Wheel Instruction

Students will learn many invaluable habits and concepts during their behind-the-wheel instruction. We highly recommend completing this 6-hour training early in the student’s driving career.

You must complete the full 6 hours to get your license at 16 years of age AND to qualify for insurance discounts.

We do offer the full 6-hour Behind-the-Wheel instruction for Private Students who have not taken our classroom course. Must have a Colorado Permit or License prior to scheduling.

Private Behind-the-Wheel Pricing = $80 per hour (2 hour min)*
Call to register. We do NOT schedule these lessons via our website.

*Changes in BTW scheduling may mean a
4–6-week delay in completion of the program.
To avoid financial penalties and/or delays, your BTW instructor must be notified of cancellations at least 48 HOURS PRIOR to your scheduled lesson time.

*The rescheduling/no-show fee is as follows:        
1ST MISS = $20

2ND MISS = $25
3RD MISS = $30
Fees may be waived on a case-by-case basis in the event of emergency, or acute/sudden illness.
