Booking your lessons
Choose a time, plan your pickup and get ready to begin.
How do I book a lesson?
Choose your location, view available instructors and select
a lesson time through our
online booking system.
Sign in or create an account, enter your pickup details and
complete your booking. Check your confirmation for the date,
time and lesson details.
Where can my lesson begin?
Pickup can be arranged at an agreed address within your
instructor’s service area. Enter the address when booking.
If you would like to start at school or work and finish
somewhere else, confirm both locations with your instructor
in advance.
Can I manage my bookings online?
Yes. Sign in through the website’s Login link to view and
manage your appointments. Check the cancellation conditions
before changing a booking, and contact us if you need help.
Do you offer lessons in my suburb?
HIENZ offers automatic driving lessons in parts of Melbourne,
Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Visit our
locations page
and check the booking calendar for instructors serving your
suburb. Appointment times and pickup coverage depend on
availability.
Lessons & pricing
Practical lessons shaped around your experience and confidence.
How long are the lessons, and what do they cost?
Automatic lessons are available in 45, 60 and 90-minute
options, subject to availability in your area. Select your
suburb on our
prices and packages page
to see current options and prices before booking.
Can beginners and nervous learners book?
Yes. Our instructors adapt lessons to your experience and
confidence. Beginners can start with the controls, steering,
braking and observation, then progress to more demanding
situations as their skills develop. Tell your instructor
about any concerns at the start.
Can I focus on parking or returning to driving?
Yes. Let your instructor know what you want to practise,
such as reverse parking, lane changes or driving after a
break. Our
automatic lessons
can focus on the skills you need, with suitable practice
areas chosen for your ability.
How many lessons will I need?
There is no single number that suits everyone. Your
experience, confidence, practice between lessons and ability
to drive independently all matter. Our instructors can
assess your current skills and suggest a plan. A mock test
can help identify what still needs practice.
Packages & vouchers
Plan regular practice or prepare for your next milestone.
Which package should I choose?
Choose a package that matches your current stage of learning.
A lesson package may suit regular practice, while test
preparation may suit learners approaching their test.
Compare the inclusions on our
packages page
and check instructor availability in your suburb before buying.
Does buying a package book my lesson times?
You still need to arrange your lesson appointments through
the booking calendar. After purchasing, sign in to book
suitable times and check that each appointment is confirmed.
Contact us if you need help applying a voucher to your booking.
How long is my voucher valid?
Check the expiry date and conditions shown on your voucher
or purchase confirmation. Special offers may have their own
stated conditions. If the expiry is unclear or different
information appears elsewhere, contact HIENZ with your
purchase details so we can confirm it before you book.
Can I change, extend or transfer a package?
Please contact us with your purchase details before making
arrangements. We will check the conditions of your particular
voucher and explain the available options. Any change or
extension needs to be confirmed by HIENZ.
Preparing for your driving test
Build safe habits and confirm the arrangements before test day.
How do I prepare for my driving test?
Work with your instructor on observation, speed control,
road positioning, intersections, parking and independent
decisions. A mock test can highlight areas for further
practice. Preparation builds readiness, but no lesson or
package can guarantee a pass or a particular test route.
Can I use a HIENZ car for my test?
A HIENZ training car may be available when booked and
confirmed with your instructor. Confirm the test centre,
appointment time, vehicle and package inclusions before
making your test booking. Availability depends on the
instructor and location.
When should I book my lesson before the test?
Ask your instructor to confirm the meeting time before
booking. Allow for the warm-up lesson, travel and the test
centre’s arrival requirements. The right start time depends
on your pickup location and test appointment, so use the
time agreed with your instructor.
Where do I check test eligibility and booking requirements?
Payments & security
Know where to pay and where to find your booking details.
How do I pay for a lesson or package?
Use the payment options offered when completing your
booking or voucher purchase. If you would like to arrange
another payment method, contact HIENZ before your lesson.
Check the amount and booking details before paying.
How are online card payments protected?
HIENZ uses BookingTimes for online bookings. BookingTimes
states that it is PCI DSS Service Provider Level 1 certified
and independently audited annually. You can read its
security information.
Do not send your full card details by email or text.
Where can I check my purchase or booking?
Check your confirmation email and sign in to your HIENZ
account to review your bookings. If something is missing
or a payment does not appear as expected, contact us with
the booking date and purchase details so we can check.
Are licensing authority test fees included?
Licensing authority booking and test fees are separate
from HIENZ lesson and vehicle fees unless your chosen
package expressly states otherwise. Review the package
inclusions and the authority’s charges before arranging
your test.
Changes & refunds
Let us know early if your plans change or you need assistance.
Can I change or cancel my lesson?
Sign in to manage your booking and give as much notice as
possible. Cancellation or rescheduling charges may apply
depending on the notice given. Check the
cancellation terms
and your booking confirmation, or contact us if you need help.
What should I do if I am running late?
Contact your instructor as soon as possible. Your appointment
is reserved for the booked time, so arriving late may reduce
your lesson time. If your instructor is delayed, they will
discuss the arrangements with you.
How do I request a refund?
Email
info@hienzdrivingschool.com.au
with your name, purchase details and the reason for your
request. We will review the circumstances and explain the
next steps. Applicable booking conditions and your rights
under Australian Consumer Law will be considered.
What if no instructor is available in my area?
Please check availability before purchasing a package. If
you have already purchased and cannot find an instructor
in your area, contact us with your suburb, preferred times
and purchase details. We will check the situation and
discuss the available options with you.
