Booking a Driving Lesson | Bubble of Safety

Booking Options

REMINDER: All drivers need a permit or license to take a driving lesson and teens (under 18) must have a first driving lesson with an instructor to validate their permit.

Let's get you behind the wheel - follow these 4 steps:

Review booking options below and make your selection.
Booking with Jacqueline - My calendar is open in 6 month increments - take a look and find one or more lessons that work with your schedule. If you can't find a spot with me - my awesome colleague Carlos might have something to help you get started sooner.
Booking with Carlos - Carlos is a school photographer so fall is a busy time - he updates his calendar every few weeks.
Send payment (within 24 hours of booking) to confirm your appointment.

We cannot refund payments for same day cancellations but with 48 hours notice we can refund 50% of your payment and with 24 hours notice we can apply 25% to a future lesson.

All lessons take place in a Bubble of Safety vehicle with instructor brake.

Home pick up in Richmond, El Cerrito, and Albany. We ask out of area folks to meet at one of our safe and convenient locations: Albany Library, Albany HS, El Cerrito Plaza BART, El Cerrito HS.
