FAQs

Do I need a permit?

Yes, all students (under 18 y/o and over 18 y/o) must obtain a CA learner's permit to take driving lessons. Please visit the CA DMV website for more information regarding the learner's permit process.

What will happen during the driving lesson?

You will practice in an area suitable for your current skill level. Beginners are usually taken to residential areas while intermediate/advanced drivers will practice in more populated zones. Your instructor may give you feedback on your progress and encourage ways to correct your mistakes.

How many lessons do I need in order to be prepared for the exam?

That depends on many factors such as age, level of fear, learner type, and previous driving experience if any. Once we observe you drive for the first time, we can calculate how long it will take you personally.

What will the lesson cover?

Each lesson is tailored to your specific needs. You will drive in various areas that present different challenges. This will maximize your awareness and build confidence. Lessons will cover residential areas, heavy traffic, construction zones, freeway, one-way streets, bike lanes, hills, right of way, pedestrians, and more.

What is your cancellation policy?

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. All appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours will be charged the full $220 class fee. This includes no shows, re-scheduling or not having a valid learner's permit or license when your instructor arrives.

More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.

Gavin's review perfectly reflects the experience that you'll have at Shift Bay Area. Thank you Gavin for sharing this! "Just wow! A fun and interesting lesson, I had Joseph as my instructor and he is beyond knowledgeable and extremely easy to understand and follow. He had me going quickly and was chill while I was learning. I can’t recommend a better instructor or place to learn! While I thought the lesson package was a bit pricy you definitely get what you pay for - from scheduling (I asked to rebook a few times and it was easy) to the driving (the Mini Cooper S used was modern and clean) I would definitely suggest this to anyone who is willing to put the time and effort. Thanks for the great instruction and tips Joseph!!!" View Gavin's full review here:...
