Why automatic

The easiest road to your Ps.

An automatic takes half the mental load out of learning, so you can focus on the thing that actually matters: reading the road.

No clutch to juggle

Two pedals, no gears to change and no stalling. You just steer, brake and go.

Eyes on the road

With less happening inside the car, more of your attention goes where it counts, outside it.

Test-ready faster

Most learners get confident sooner in an auto, which usually means fewer lessons to your test.

Modern dual-control cars

Two sets of brakes and an accredited instructor beside you, so you can relax and just drive.

Free pickup, everywhere

Every lesson starts and finishes at your door, school or work, right across South East Queensland.

Logbook hours count 3x

Ten lessons with an accredited instructor log as 30 hours. Get test-ready and fill your logbook at once.

Automatic or manual?

Why most Brisbane learners pick automatic.

Both get you a licence. Here's how they stack up, so you can start with confidence.

Automatic

Most popular
  • No clutch and no gears, so there's far less to juggle
  • Simpler to learn, so you're usually test-ready sooner
  • Covers the vast majority of cars on the road today
  • The calmest, most affordable first licence

Manual

  • Lets you drive absolutely anything, including utes and work vehicles
  • A manual licence covers automatics too
  • More to master, so it usually takes a few more lessons
  • Best if you already know you'll need to drive one

Automatic gets most Brisbane learners on the road fastest. If you know you'll need a manual for work, start there instead. Either way, every RAC instructor teaches both, so you're never locked in. Set on manual? See our manual driving lessons.

Not sure how many?

How many automatic Lessons will you need?

Every learner's different. Tell us where you're at and we'll point you to the right automatic pack.

How much have you driven so far?

Go with the 10-lesson pack

Enough to take you from your very first drive in an automatic all the way to test-ready, at our best price per lesson ($88).

Book the 10-pack
The 5-lesson pack is your sweet spot

The right amount to sharpen up, fix the rough edges and fill your logbook. It's what most of our learners choose.

Book the 5-pack
A 3-pack or a single tune-up

If you're nearly test-ready, a few lessons to polish your technique and learn how the examiner thinks is all you need.

Book a starter pack
3× logbook hours

Every automatic lesson counts triple.

In Queensland, one hour in an automatic with an accredited instructor like RAC logs as three hours in your logbook, up to 10 lessons. That's a full 30 hours off your 100, and you learn to drive properly while you do it.

"Before I started having lessons with Ejaz I failed my test a couple times. And today I PASSED!… he actually took the time to understand where my mistakes were coming from and taught me in a way I could understand."

BBeatriztaught by Ejaz

"When I first started I was really anxious after previously being in a car accident. Muzzy is very calm and attentive… I am now a really confident and safe driver."

Good to know

Automatic driving Lessons, answered.

How many automatic lessons will I need?

It depends where you're starting from. Total beginners usually want 8 to 10 lessons to get test-ready, learners with some practice do well on a 5-pack, and if you're nearly there a few polishing lessons can be enough. Use the estimator above for a quick steer.

Is automatic really easier than manual?

For most people, yes. With no clutch and no gears to change, there's less to think about, so you can focus on the road and usually get test-ready faster. A manual licence lets you drive anything, but plenty of Brisbane learners never need one.

Can I switch to manual later?

Absolutely. Every RAC instructor teaches both, so if you start in an automatic and later decide you want a manual licence, we'll get you there. Nothing you learn in an auto goes to waste.

Do the lessons count toward my logbook?

Yes, and for triple. In Queensland each hour with an accredited instructor logs as three hours, up to 10 lessons, so 10 lessons add 30 hours to your logbook. Your instructor signs it off on the spot.

What's included in a lesson?

Free pickup and drop-off, a modern dual-controlled automatic, an accredited instructor, and your logbook hours signed off. Your first lesson is backed by our 100% money-back promise.
