Do you charge extra for pickup and drop-off outside of St. John's?

Do you offer driving lessons for nervous or anxious drivers?

How many lessons will I need before taking my road test?

After your first lesson, your instructor at Global Driver Training Limited will evaluate your skills and give you an honest recommendation on how many hours it will take to be fully prepared and safe on the road.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?

Global Driver Training Limited requires at least 24 hours' notice for any cancellations or schedule changes. This allows us enough time to offer the time slot to another student. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a late fee.

Are your driving instructors certified and insured?
