The bayside's driving school

Driving Lessons Redlands Learners actually rate

The bayside is its own kind of drive. One lesson you're easing through the Cleveland cafe strip and the ferry-terminal traffic, the next you're building confidence on the longer, open runs out towards Redland Bay. Our instructors are on these roads every week, so you practise where you'll actually drive, not a quiet cul-de-sac across town.

Start in automatic, go for a full manual licence, or lock in a test-day package when you're close. Every lesson is a dual-controlled car, a fully accredited instructor, and a pickup from your door. Ten of them count as thirty hours in your logbook, so you're test-ready sooner and lighter in the wallet.

Good questions

Driving Lessons Redlands: your questions

How much are driving lessons in the Redlands?

Lessons are the same price for automatic and manual. A 3-lesson intro pack is $270, a 5-lesson pack is $445, and the best-value 10-lesson pack is $880 ($88 a lesson). A test-day package with car hire and a warm-up lesson is $220. See the Packages page for the full list.

Do you cover my bayside suburb?

Almost certainly. We cover the Redlands and bayside, from Cleveland to Redland Bay, Wynnum to Capalaba. Pick your suburb above, or pop your details in the form and we'll confirm who's free near you.

Can I get a female driving instructor in the Redlands?

Yes. We have female and male instructors across the bayside. Let us know your preference when you book and we'll match you.

Do you teach both automatic and manual?

We do. You can learn in an automatic, learn manual from scratch, or upgrade an automatic licence to manual. Same lesson price either way.

How does the driving test work?

Book a test-day package and we'll pick you up, run a warm-up lesson on the local route, and hand you our dual-controlled car for the official test so it all feels familiar. Prefer a practice run first? Book a mock test.

How do the logbook hours work?

In Queensland, one hour with an accredited instructor counts as three in your logbook, up to 10 lessons. So 10 lessons give you 30 of your 100 required hours, and you get test-ready faster.

Your guide to driving Lessons in the Redlands

Thousands of bayside learners have gone from a nervous first lap to a full licence with RAC. Here's how it works around the Redlands, and what to expect on the day.

Getting test-ready on the bay

Early lessons cover the basics. As you get close, we shift to test prep on the exact roads, roundabouts and hill starts the examiner uses around the bay, so nothing on the day catches you out.

Booking your driving test

You book the official practical test through Transport and Main Roads. We get you ready and sort the car.

The RAC test-day package

It includes a warm-up lesson right before your test plus use of our dual-controlled car, so you sit the test in a car you already know inside out.

What to bring on test day

Your learner licence, any glasses or contacts you wear to drive, comfy shoes, and a calm head. We'll handle the rest.

Automatic, manual, or upgrading?

Start in an automatic, learn manual from scratch, or convert an automatic licence to manual, all at the same lesson price. Not sure which suits you? Book a lesson, compare packages, or call the team on (07) 3123 5412 and we'll point you the right way.
