What is included

What every Sydney South Driving School lesson price covers

Each price below covers the same six inclusions, so a $80 single hour and a $700 package differ in lesson time rather than in what you receive.

A modern automatic training car

Lessons run in a maintained automatic vehicle, which is what the great majority of NSW learners and test candidates drive today.

Free door-to-door pick-up

Your instructor collects you from home, school or work anywhere in the confirmed Liverpool or Campbelltown service area, at no extra charge.

One instructor, every lesson

Ashraf teaches Liverpool and the surrounding suburbs, George Hany teaches Campbelltown and the Macarthur region, so nobody re-learns your history each week.

One-to-one instruction

Your paid lesson time is spent on your driving alone, because Sydney South never runs shared or group lessons.

Structured written feedback

Your instructor names what improved, what still needs practice and which skill comes next, so parents can plan supervised hours between lessons.

Transparent totals

The prices shown are the prices charged, and the only additional amount is the published $10 administration fee on the instalment plan.

Which package suits you

How to choose a package for your stage

The cheapest hourly rate is only good value when the format matches where the learner actually is, from a first automatic lesson for beginners to a test-day package. Here is who each package is built for.

One hour lesson, $80

Best for a first drive, a single skill you keep losing, or an honest assessment of test readiness before you commit to more.

Two hour lesson, $150

Our recommended format, because two hours lets you learn a manoeuvre on a quiet street and immediately repeat it in real Liverpool or Campbelltown traffic.

5 hour package, $370

Suits learners driving weekly who want steady progress, and saves $30 against five separately booked single hours.

10 hour package, $700

Built for learners under 25 building logbook hours, because ten professional hours can record as thirty logbook hours under the Transport for NSW 3-for-1 rule.

8 hours + test day + car hire, $770

For learners who already hold a test booking, combining eight lesson hours, a warm-up on test day and our car for the Service NSW assessment.

Car hire package, $220

For learners who have practised in their own car but want a warm-up lesson and a familiar automatic vehicle for the test itself. The driving test car hire page explains how test day runs.

Real cost

How the 3-for-1 logbook rule changes what a package is worth

For learner drivers under 25, professional lesson hours are worth more than the clock time you pay for, which changes how the packages compare.

What the 3-for-1 rule is

Transport for NSW allows learner drivers under 25 to record each hour driven with an accredited instructor as three hours in the learner logbook, up to a maximum of 10 professional hours. Those 10 hours record as 30 of the 120 supervised hours a NSW learner licence requires before the practical driving test.

What that means for the $700 package

The ten-hour package is the point where the rule is fully used. Ten hours with Ashraf in Liverpool or George in Campbelltown records as thirty logbook hours, which is roughly a quarter of the total requirement, completed with an instructor rather than a supervising parent.

Who the rule does not apply to

Learner drivers aged 25 and over are not required to complete 120 supervised hours, so the 3-for-1 concession does not apply to them. Overseas licence holders converting to a NSW licence are assessed differently again, and a licensed driver booking refresher lessons keeps no logbook at all. In each case, choose a package on lesson time rather than logbook value.

Where these prices apply

One price list across both service regions

Sydney South Driving School charges the same published prices in both service regions, so your suburb changes your instructor and test centre, never your rate.

In the Liverpool region, Ashraf teaches learners across Casula, Prestons, Green Valley, Cecil Hills, Edmondson Park, Hoxton Park, Chipping Norton, Moorebank and Warwick Farm, preparing them for the Service NSW centres at Orange Grove Road, Warwick Farm and at Edmondson Park.

In the Campbelltown and Macarthur region, George Hany teaches learners across Ingleburn, Macquarie Fields, Minto, Leumeah, Narellan, Mount Annan, Oran Park and Camden, preparing them for the Macquarie Fields and Macarthur Service NSW centres.

Pick-up and drop-off is free in every suburb listed on our service-area page, seven days a week from 7am to 7pm. If you live just outside those suburbs, call before booking and we will confirm whether an instructor can attend.

Before payment

What to confirm before you pay

Read these three points before purchasing, so the package you buy matches the lessons you actually receive.

How package hours are scheduled

Multi-hour packages are booked as a series of lessons rather than a single block. Confirm your preferred day and time with your instructor before paying, because popular after-school and weekend slots in Liverpool and Campbelltown book out first.

Lessons run seven days a week from 7am to 7pm at the same published rate, so a learner who needs the 20 logbook night hours books the latest evening slots rather than paying a separate night rate.

How instalments work

The ten-hour instalment total is $710, which is the $700 package price plus a published $10 administration fee. Contact the school to agree the payment schedule before purchase.

What test-day car hire requires

Use of the training car for a Service NSW driving test is offered to learners who meet the instructor's readiness and safety requirements, and is subject to availability. Buying a package does not guarantee a driving-test result.

Pricing FAQ

Questions learners and parents ask before paying

Does the lesson price include pick-up and drop-off?

Yes. Free door-to-door pick-up and drop-off from home, school or work is included in every price, within the confirmed Liverpool or Campbelltown service area.

Do lessons cost the same in every area you teach?

Yes. Sydney South Driving School charges one published price list across both regions, so your suburb determines your instructor and test centre rather than your rate.

Which package gives the most logbook hours?

The $700 ten-hour package. For learner drivers under 25, ten hours with a Transport for NSW accredited instructor record as thirty logbook hours under the 3-for-1 rule, which is the maximum the rule allows.

Can I pay for a ten-hour package by instalments?

Yes. The instalment total is $710, which is the $700 package plus a published $10 administration fee. Contact the school to confirm the payment schedule before purchase.

What is included in the $220 car hire package?

A one-hour warm-up lesson immediately before your test, plus use of the driving-school car for the practical Service NSW driving test, subject to instructor approval and availability.

What is the difference between the $700 and $770 packages?

The $700 package is ten lesson hours only. The $770 package is eight lesson hours plus a warm-up lesson on test day and car hire for the Service NSW assessment, so it suits learners who already hold a test booking.

How do I pay for my lessons?

You can book and pay online at any time, or arrange payment directly with your instructor. Call the Liverpool team on 02 8277 9091 or the Campbelltown team on 0409 129 275 if you would like help choosing.

Do lesson packages guarantee a pass?

No. Structured lessons and test preparation improve skill, judgement and readiness, but no driving school can guarantee a Service NSW driving-test result.

Can prices or availability change?

Yes. Confirm the current price, your instructor's region and available lesson times during booking, before making payment.
