Please review the following policies before booking or purchasing driving lessons or services from Abi Driving School.
By booking an appointment or purchasing a lesson/package, the student or parent/guardian acknowledges and agrees to these policies.
⸻
1. Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
We understand that plans can change. Because driving lesson appointments are reserved specifically for each student, we require at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson.
48-Hour Notice
Students may cancel or reschedule without a cancellation fee when at least 48 hours’ notice is provided.
Less Than 48 Hours’ Notice
A $65 late cancellation/rescheduling fee will apply when a student cancels or requests to reschedule with less than 48 hours’ notice.
Same-Day Cancellation
Cancellations made on the day of the appointment are considered late cancellations and are subject to the $65 fee.
No-Show
If a student does not appear for a scheduled lesson and does not contact Abi Driving School, the appointment may be considered a no-show.
A $65 fee may apply, and the scheduled lesson time may also be deducted from the student’s purchased lesson package.
Emergency Situations
We understand that genuine emergencies can happen. Abi Driving School may review emergency situations individually and may waive or modify the applicable fee at its discretion.
⸻
2. Lesson Expiration Policy
All prepaid driving lessons and lesson packages must be used within one year (12 months) from the date of purchase.
Unused lessons remaining after the one-year period may expire and become unavailable for use.
Students are responsible for scheduling and completing their lessons before the expiration date.
Important
Purchasing a package does not guarantee that all lessons will remain available indefinitely. Please plan your lessons so that the package is completed within the applicable one-year period.
⸻
3. Payment Policy
Payment is required according to the terms displayed at the time of booking or purchase.
We accept:
• Cash

• Credit/Debit Card through our online payment system
A 5% processing fee may apply to credit/debit card payments.
Applicable fees will be displayed before completing an online card payment.
⸻
4. Refund Policy
Driving lessons and packages are purchased for instructional services and reserved appointment time.
Refund requests will be reviewed according to the circumstances and the applicable terms presented at the time of purchase.
Once a lesson has been completed, that lesson is not refundable.
Any approved refund may be subject to applicable payment-processing or administrative fees.
⸻
5. Student Arrival & Pickup Policy
Students are expected to be ready at the agreed pickup location at the scheduled appointment time.
If a student is not ready when the instructor arrives, the lesson may still end at the originally scheduled time.
Pickup and drop-off time is included within the student’s scheduled lesson time.
For example, a 2-hour appointment remains a 2-hour appointment even when pickup and drop-off are required.
⸻
6. Pickup & Drop-Off Service
Free pickup and drop-off is available to eligible registered students within our designated service area, generally within a 7-mile radius of Abi Driving School.
A $35 pickup/drop-off fee per lesson may apply outside the designated service area.
Abi Driving School reserves the right to determine whether a pickup or drop-off location is within the service area.
⸻
7. Student Permit & Identification
Students must have the required and valid documentation before participating in behind-the-wheel instruction.
Students must provide their valid Nevada Instruction Permit when required.
If a student does not have the required documentation, Abi Driving School may be unable to conduct the lesson.
The lesson may be subject to the applicable cancellation or no-show policy.
⸻
8. Age & Eligibility Requirements
Students must meet applicable Nevada DMV requirements before beginning behind-the-wheel training.
Students must be at least 15½ years old and have a valid Nevada Instruction Permit for behind-the-wheel instruction.
Students under 18 may have additional driver education requirements.
⸻
9. Safe Driving & Student Conduct
Safety is our highest priority.
Students are expected to follow the instructor’s directions and maintain appropriate behavior throughout the lesson.
The instructor may end or refuse a lesson if a student:
• Is under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Is impaired or unable to safely operate the vehicle
• Engages in aggressive, threatening, or unsafe behavior
• Refuses reasonable safety instructions
• Uses a mobile phone while driving in a manner that creates a safety concern
• Creates an unsafe environment for the instructor or others
If a lesson is ended because of unsafe or prohibited behavior, the lesson may be charged or deducted from the student’s package.
⸻
10. Cell Phone & Electronic Device Policy
Students should not use handheld mobile devices while driving unless specifically instructed by the instructor for an approved training purpose.
Phones should be placed away or secured before driving begins.
Instructors may ask students to stop using a device if it creates a distraction or safety concern.
⸻
11. Vehicle Safety
Our vehicles may be equipped with instructor-side brake controls and other safety equipment.
These features are intended as an additional safety measure and do not replace the student’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely and follow the instructor’s directions.
⸻
12. Weather & Road Conditions
Abi Driving School may modify, postpone, or cancel a lesson when weather, road conditions, visibility, traffic conditions, or other circumstances create an unreasonable safety risk.
When possible, students will be contacted as early as reasonably possible regarding weather-related schedule changes.
If Abi Driving School cancels a lesson for safety reasons, the lesson will be rescheduled without a late cancellation fee.
⸻
13. Instructor Scheduling & Vehicle Issues
Occasionally, circumstances such as vehicle maintenance, mechanical problems, instructor emergencies, or other unforeseen events may require us to reschedule a lesson.
We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice and reschedule the appointment as soon as possible.
If Abi Driving School must cancel a prepaid lesson, the student will not be charged a cancellation fee for that cancellation.
