Car hire and insurance for the test
Cash: $300
Pay online (PayPal): $309

$300 applies to testing centres around the city. Prices may vary for testing centres outside our usual service area.

Book Test Day

Driving on an overseas licence? Read this before booking your test.

Queensland’s road rules and test standards are very different from many other countries. Even experienced drivers often have habits that fail tests here, like rolling through stop signs, not checking blind spots, or speeding through school zones.

If you fail, you lose your right to drive on your overseas licence in Queensland. You’ll need a Queensland learner licence before you can practise again, even with an instructor.

One lesson is usually not enough. In our experience, most overseas drivers need several lessons to unlearn old habits and drive to Queensland standards. We’ll give you an honest assessment in your first lesson and tell you when you’re truly ready.

Don’t risk your licence: book a lesson before you book your test.

Lessons

Please give at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or move a lesson.
Cancelling with less than 48 hours’ notice, or not showing up, costs $150. Please plan your work shifts around your lessons. Being called in to work is not accepted as a reason to cancel late, because Henry is working too and has kept that time for you. If your boss asks you to come in, let them know you have a driving lesson or find someone to cover your shift.
If you’re not ready at pick-up, Henry will wait 15 minutes. After that it counts as a no-show.
Henry may end a lesson early, charged in full, if a student isn’t safe to drive (for example unwell, affected by alcohol or drugs, or without their learner licence).
If Henry needs to cancel, we’ll move your lesson to the next available time. If no suitable time can be found, the lesson will be refunded.

Packages

Cash packages are paid half at the first lesson and half at the halfway lesson, or in full online with PayPal.
Packages expire 12 months after the first lesson. Lessons not used by then are forfeited.
Packages are non-refundable once the first lesson has been taken, except where we can’t provide the remaining lessons, in which case unused lessons are refunded.
A late cancellation or no-show uses up that lesson from the package (no additional $150 charge).
Unused lessons can be passed to a brother or sister in the same family.

Test Day

Students book and pay for their test directly with TMR. Check our availability before booking.
If TMR or the weather cancels the test, we’ll move your Test Day to the new date at no cost.
If the test can’t go ahead because of the student (for example missing licence or failing TMR’s pre-test checks), the Test Day package is used up.
No lesson or package guarantees a pass.
