If you lose a certificate you need to contact the instructor who issued it originally.  There may be a fee for the replacement.  Once a certificate is issued to you, keep it with other important documents such as birth certificate and social security card.  The most common way certificates get lost is when they are held on to by the teen driver.  The certificate will not be needed until the road test date.

Students need to have a current Hawaii Instruction Permit.  Students will receive an email referral for the BTW lessons.  The emails will be sent sometime after session 10.  Please be patient, it may take as long as 2 weeks after session 12 to receive your referral.  Arrangements will be made with the BTW instructor regarding dates, times and locations for the lessons.  The BTW lessons cannot be completed in less than 6 weeks and each lesson cannot be longer than 1.5 hours.

All our BTW instructors conduct BTW lessons starting in the Kahala area.  You will need to meet the instructor at a predetermined location.  We do not provide pick-up and drop-off service.

The BTW lessons must be started before the teen's 18th birthday.  On their 18th birthday they have moved out of the Teen category for driver licensing into the Adult category.  On their 18th birthday the BTW lessons expire, and no refund will be issued.

Adult Behind-The-Wheel lessons cost $60.00 per hour. We require a prepayment of $376.96. including GE Tax. This amount prepays for 6 (six) hours of lessons. The Average Adult requires about 1/2 hour of lessons per year of age to reach a basic ability level. At this level the student should be able to pass the Road Test. For example if the student is 20 years old, they would require 10 hours of lessons. A  40-year-old   student would require 20 hours of lessons.   These are just averages.

A service fee of $25 will be charged on any check not honored for any reason. 

Refunds are only issued if the student dies or becomes disabled and cannot proceed with driver education.

Accurate Driving retains the right to refuse service.
