Do I Have to Drive With an Instructor in West Denver, CO? 

Colorado requires teens of a certain age to drive with an instructor in order to be eligible to take a drivers license test. 

If you are under the age of 16 ½ you will need to complete 6 Hours of Behind-the-Wheel driver training with a state-certified driving instructor in order to be eligible to take your driver’s license test. If you are older than 16 ½, there is no state behind-the-wheel training requirement with a driving school instructor before taking your drivers test. 

To view the behind-the-wheel training and drive time requirements for your age group read the DMV policies here.

How Much Does It Cost To Take Driving Lessons? 

Driving school lessons vary in cost because every student’s learning journey differs. Many driving school students require professional instruction and additional practice to fully develop their confidence and safety habits behind the wheel before taking a driving test. For others, meeting their minimal training requirements and practicing with a legal guardian on their own drive time is enough. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, you are worth the time and investment it takes to achieve your driving goals, whichever driving school program you deem right for you.

How Much Does It Cost to Go to Driving School in West Denver, CO? 

The state mandates different drivers education requirements depending on your age. The amount of classroom education and drivers’ training your age group requires, will determine the cost. It can range anywhere from as little as $110 up to $1200. This range is because many driving school students bundle their course requirements with permit tests, behind-the-wheel driver training, defensive skills courses for insurance discounts, and their driver license tests. Because each student’s learning needs and budgets vary, DriveSafe offers comprehensive in-person instruction, online drivers ed, accelerated programs, and technical driving lessons.

30-Hour Drivers Ed Course

In our DMV-approved drivers ed course, students learn the information that they will need to pass their learners permit tests as well as how to make safe, sensible decisions behind the wheel. Students can take this drivers ed course in person at one of our driving school locations.

Written Permit Test

In addition to our drivers ed courses that prepare students for the written permit test, we are also state-certified to offer the test at our DriveSafe locations. The test covers Colorado’s driving regulations, and it consists of 25 multiple-choice questions. By skipping the stress of the DMV and taking the written exam in a familiar, friendly environment, students are able to focus more thoroughly on the questions in front of them.

6-Hours of Driving Lessons

During these driving lessons, students will work one-on-one with caring, state-certified driving instructors to build the skills necessary to become safe and competent drivers. Our expert instructors work hard to ensure that each student’s experience is inspiring and impactful, as our goal is for everyone to leave our driving school feeling confident in their driving abilities and fully supported throughout the entire learning process.

Drivers License Test

The drivers license test evaluates students on over 100 items, which can lead to test anxiety in even the most confident of student drivers. Our drivers license tests are conducted by patient, experienced instructors who work hard to create a calm environment where students can fully focus on the road in front of them. Regardless of whether a student passes or fails, every road test concludes with constructive, supportive feedback.

3-Hour Defensive Skills Day

While traditional drivers ed classes cover the skills needed for day-to-day travels, our defensive skills class teaches more advanced techniques that focus on the unpredictable nature of the road. Students have fun with this engaging, hands-on defensive skills course, and parents get to rest easier knowing that their kids will leave the class more equipped to safely respond to emergencies. Topics covered include handling a vehicle during a skid, making precise maneuvers, recognizing and actively avoiding hazards, driving without distractions, and performing basic car maintenance.

Additional 2-Hour Driving Lesson

Add an extra 2-hour lesson to your training. Perfect for students looking to boost confidence, fine-tune specific skills, and improve their chances of passing the driver’s license test.

Parent Training Course

The Parent Training Course is a driver’s ed tool designed to help parents effectively teach their teens how to drive throughout their permit-holding period. Available via mobile app for convenient access, it offers structured drive lesson plans, interactive learning tools, and practical exercises to help teens develop and reinforce safe driving habits.

Safe Car Safe Driver

This 80-minute interactive clinic is great for teens preparing to get their license, new drivers, or anyone looking to increase their vehicle safety awareness. With hands-on demos, participants gain practical knowledge in emergency preparedness, roadside procedures, and safe driving habits. Exercises include live tire change, jump-start tutorial, full under-the-hood walkthrough, and more.

Insurance Discounts May Apply

As many parents know, car insurance for teen drivers is notoriously expensive. Luckily, many insurance providers acknowledge the value of drivers education by reducing their insurance rates for driving school graduates. Students who complete accredited drivers ed courses tend to be more responsible drivers, which is why these companies feel comfortable insuring them at lower costs.

DriveSafe for Life Guarantee™

Our DriveSafe for Life Guarantee™ allows all DriveSafe students to meet with an instructor to address any issues or questions that they have, regardless of how much time has passed since they left our driving school. Our instructors will be happy to explain explain how to resolve the issue or make a recommendation for further instruction if necessary.
