Santa Fe Driving School FAQ's
Santa Fe Driving School's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is an approved behind the wheel training school in California?
Even though we provide a list of driver training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is certified by the California DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Santa Fe Driving School directly or check with the California DMV to find out for sure if Santa Fe Driving School is a licensed school.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to enroll in a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to complete your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you ask your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
I don't know how to drive using a stick-shift. Will Santa Fe Driving School have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my behind-the-wheel training?

However, you should let Santa Fe Driving School know what your preference is before registering for their driver class. That way you'll know for sure they will accommodate you.
