Terms and Conditions

FEES & OFFERS

At Safar Driving School, our commitment is to offer transparent and equitable pricing for our services. Kindly take note of the following terms related to fees and special offers:

Lesson fees will be communicated to you at the time of booking and may be subject to change, provided there is a minimum of 1 month’s notice.
Payments for lessons can be made through cash, or debit card.

For block booking payments, fees are due 14 days before your initial lesson. In case you choose to cancel your lessons midway through the block booking period, we will refund your remaining lessons, deducting any hours used at the hourly pay-as-you-go rate, along with an additional deduction for administrative charges.

LESSON BOOKINGS

To facilitate a smooth scheduling process, kindly adhere to the following guidelines for lesson bookings:

Confirm all lessons with your assigned driving instructor.

Provide as much notice as possible for your preferred dates and times, increasing the likelihood of booking lessons at convenient times.

Lessons will only be considered reserved once confirmed by your driving instructor, and payments are received in our accounts.

Ensure possession of a valid driver’s license, as required by Irish law. Any endorsements received during your tuition must be promptly reported to your instructor.

TEST DAY

Please consider the following guidelines for test days:

Safar Driving School does not arrange practical driving tests on behalf of students, it is the student’s responsibility to make these arrangements.

Payment for the use of the instructor’s car and time on the test day is required at least one week in advance. Kindly inquire about any additional charges for different types of tests.

USE OF INSTRUCTOR’S DRIVING SCHOOL CAR

Safar Driving School reserves the right to refuse the use of our cars for tests or lessons under certain circumstances, including:

• If the student’s driving is below the standard required for the test.
• If the student’s driving standard is adversely affected by cancellations of lessons or outstanding fees.
• If the student appears unwell or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

CANCELLATION POLICY

To ensure efficient scheduling and fairness to all students, we have a strict cancellation policy in place:

A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or changes to lessons. Failure to provide this notice will result in the full lesson fee being payable or hours lost if prepaid.
Consistent cancellations without 48 hours’ notice may result in advance payment requirements for future lessons.

TRANSFERRING PREPAID LESSONS

Please take note of the following regarding the transfer of prepaid lessons:

Prepaid lessons purchased in your name cannot be sold or transferred to another individual.
While learning, you may have friends or family sit in on one or a maximum of two lessons, subject to COVID-19 regulations set by the Irish Government or the Road Safety Authority (RSA).

REFUND POLICY

Familiarize yourself with our refund policy:

Refunds for prepaid lessons will be considered within 14 days of the first lesson being delivered, not when payment was made. However, there may be a deduction for administrative fees and any lessons already delivered at the time of the refund request.
