Car Hire

Test day is already stressful enough. Don’t let worries about the car be another obstacle. Using a vehicle that’s not suitable or doesn’t meet Service NSW requirements can lead to failing before you even start.

The lesson can be done in my car or the student’s car. My car was bought and specially adapted for lessons and the driving test.

Features

Benefits of hiring my car

Absolute peace of mind

Arrive at the test location focused and relaxed. I take care of everything to do with the car.

Safe, approved car

My 2023 Suzuki Swift is modern, fully insured for instruction, and approved by Service NSW for driving tests.

Familiarity

If you’ve already had lessons with me, you’ll do your test in the same car you practised in, which boosts your confidence and comfort.

Support on the day

I’ll be there to offer moral support and make sure everything goes smoothly before your test starts.

How does this work?

  1. Book your practical test on the Service NSW website.

  2. Reserve my car hire here, choosing the same location and booking it for 15 minutes before your test time.

  3. On the day, meet me in the Service NSW car park. We’ll make final adjustments to the seat and mirrors, and you’ll be all set!

Frequently Asked Questions – Car Hire

When should I book the car hire for my test?

Book your car hire for 15 minutes before your test time.

Can I drive a manual car if I do the test in an automatic?

If you have an international licence, yes.

What documents do I need to bring to the practical test?
  • If you have a Learner Licence: bring your original foreign licence (no translation needed) and your Learner Licence.

  • If you don’t have a Learner Licence: bring your foreign licence and Australian Photo ID (or passport with a bank statement or phone/internet bill).

  • You should also bring the Licence Application Form.

What do I do if I don’t have my original foreign licence?

You cannot use a digital version or a copy of your licence to drive. To take the test, you will need to:

  • Schedule a visit to your consulate and request a consular statement, which will provide an original document containing your driver licence information (bring this document along with your passport on test day).

  • Request a driving registration certificate from the DETRAN in your state and have it translated by a NAATI-certified translator.

What if my English isn’t good?

I’ve seen many students who barely speak any English pass their test. I’ll be with you before the test and will inform the examiner so they can give directions using hand signals.

Can I bring someone with me?

No, the lesson is individual. If you need a dual lesson, it should be two hours long. Please let me know if that’s the case.
