Yes! Students can take their classroom course through their school, community ed, or any other company that offers the classroom portion. Example: Students at Waconia High School can take their classroom course as a class at Waconia and after, can sign up for Behind-the-Wheel lessons with Laketown Driving School.
You will need to request a Letter of Verification (sometimes called a transfer paper or letter of completion).
This is a document you can request from the school/company that provided the classroom portion to your student. The document verifies that your student has completed 30 hours of classroom, and I am required by the state to have a copy on file prior to providing behind-the-wheel lessons. You can email a copy of this form directly to me at laketowndrivingschool@gmail.com
Once you have submitted the contract, verification letter, and have indicated payment method (full payment or payment plan) you can email or text/call Corey at laketowndrivingschool@gmail.com or 612-270-9565 to request a blue card. If a payment plan is chosen, the first payment must be made in order to receive the card. One will be mailed to your home address listed on the contract.
A Laketown Driving School insturctor will typically meet at the student's home or school address. You can add your preferred location when you book the lesson. Please call or text 612-270-9565 if you need to change the location after booking or have a question about a different pick-up location.
Laketown Driving School recommends signing up for:
Lesson 1: Any time after receiving permit - best with 10+ hours
Lesson 2: 20+ hours
Lesson 3: Within two months of exam
No. You can contact Laketown Driving School to opt into a payment plan depending on what service you are looking for. However, if you want to use a credit card, this can only be done by paying the entire balance all upfront when you book online.
Behind-the-Wheels only: When schedulding online, choose the option for check/cash and pay $199.50 at the first lesson and $199.50 at the last lesson OR $133 at each lesson. All payments must be completed before student receives their white card.
We know that life happens! There is no late-fee charge if you contact Laketown Driving School (612-270-9565 or laketowndrivingschool@gmail.com) to let us know you need to cancel or reschedule. The instructor will wait for 15 minutes before considering the student a no-show. There will be a $20 no-show fee to pay prior to rescheduling - this helps to cover the cost of gas and the instructor's time.
Refund policy: All money will be refunded if no hours have been completed if requested by email to laketowndrivingschool.com. There is no time limit on completion of the six hours of behind-the-wheel lessons.
