​
Assessed Fees include No Show Fees, Late Cancellation Fees, Late Payment Fees and Reactivation Fees. Please note when an account has assessed fees unpaid, the account freezes and nothing will occur on the account until fees are paid. If there are lessons, sessions or a test that were scheduled on the account for a future date which has not come up yet, those lessons, sessions or tests will not take place if fees are not paid by 48 hours of the future service date. If still unpaid by the 48 hour mark, the school will remove the student from the service scheduled to avoid additional fees potentially incurring on the account. Keep in in mind deactivation can occur on a frozen account if no action on the account in accordance with our no activity on account term described under reactivation fee below.
​
No Show Fee
Not physically having in your possession at the lesson a valid California Learner's Permit, not coming out to meet the instructor within 15 minutes from the instructor arriving and calling you, being impaired for any reason(lack of sleep, intoxication, medication, etc.), wearing footwear which may impair the ability to safely operate the vehicle, not having your prescription contacts or glasses as required as noted on your permit or having a fever which means the virus you have is contagious, the lesson will be cancelled and considered a No Show, therefore a no show fee will be assessed to the account in the amount of $100. Account will immediately go into a freeze status until fee paid.
​
Late Cancellation Fee
Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled drive lesson by the student/parent/guardian.
