Lesson in your car
$75 / hour
For lessons in your own car, Sine requires a current WoF, current registration and active vehicle insurance. The passenger seat also needs a usable lever-type handbrake so the instructor can assist if needed.
Pricing & terms
Published hourly rates. We usually recommend starting with one lesson, then planning the next step from what we actually see. Hours are Monday–Sunday, 8:00–16:00; ask us about other times.
Prices are in New Zealand dollars. Lessons are paid when the session finishes. After the first lesson, the instructor can suggest what to practise next; continue only as needed.

Cars, hours and payment
- School cars: Suzuki Swift, automatic and manual.
- Teaching hours: Monday to Sunday, 08:00–16:00. If you need another slot, message us and we will see what the diary allows.
- Payment at the end of each lesson (cash or bank transfer). We normally start with one lesson, then recommend the next step from your actual driving rather than guessing a fixed number in advance.
- Test-day accompaniment is priced per test (see the table). A school car on test day needs a prior assessment lesson in that car.
- Pick-up is available. Travel time is counted inside that lesson hour.
Reschedule and cancellation
To keep the diary fair for students and instructors:
- Please give at least 24 hours’ notice to change or cancel.
- Cancellations, changes or no-shows inside 24 hours are charged at the full lesson price.
