Start your teen driver on the right road with AAA Driving School

Students can book their first in-car lesson on or after the "In-Car Availability Date" chosen during the enrollment process. A permit is required to begin driving lessons. If you do not have your permit, you will need to complete our 30-hour online course and pass the Vermont DMV knowledge test. Behind-the-wheel lessons cannot be scheduled until your account is paid in full.

You can schedule lessons online at the Student Portal. Students will receive an email with instructions on how to access the Student Portal. We allow two lessons to be scheduled at one time which are scheduled a minimum of two weeks apart.

The length of time it takes to complete the program is dependent on the availability of the student, the availability of the instructors and other events outside The Auto Club's control. Lessons are spaced a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks apart to allow time to practice between lessons. Please keep in mind that teens must hold their Vermont learner's permit for at least one year before taking their driving test, as required by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. Students may apply for their learner's permit from age 15.

We do not pick up at home. Unlike other driving schools, the Auto Club has designed routes for each lesson that are set to develop good driving habits and meet Auto Club specific learning objectives. These Auto Club approved routes all begin and end at the Auto Club location to provide instruction consistency and the best use of lesson time.

If you cancel within 3 business days of enrollment, you will not incur any fees. After 3 business days, a fee will apply. See full Terms and Conditions here.

If you need to cancel and reschedule an in-car lesson, you may do so through the Student Portal. Lessons must be cancelled at least 24 hours prior to the lesson. Otherwise a $60 fee will apply.

The remaining balance on your account will be due 30 days after your initial payment. You can use the Student Portal to make your final payment. Behind-the-wheel lessons cannot be scheduled until your account is paid in full.

Our program objectives are based on safety and not speed of completion. One-hour lessons allow us to spread the learning process over the 1-year permit period which is required by the Vermont DMV and allows ample time to practice between lessons. Two-hour behind-the-wheel lessons offered by other schools can be a stressful experience for a new driver.

Yes. The online course expires 180 calendar days from the Enrollment Date. The online course must be completed and driving instruction permit obtained prior to scheduling your first behind-the-wheel lesson.

All in-car lessons must be completed within one year from the Enrollment Date. No refunds after one year after the Enrollment Date.
