Las Vegas Driving School Nevada Drive Academy

Nevada Drive Academy is a Henderson driving school that teaches teens working toward a Nevada license, plus adults, with private behind-the-wheel lessons across the Las Vegas Valley. The instructor picks students up and drops them off at home, school or work, and lessons run Monday to Friday from 7am to 10:00pm and weekends from 7am to 6pm.

For teens, the main choice is how to meet Nevada's driver's ed rule. The Teen 15/5 Program costs $550.00 and pairs 15 hours of online driver's ed with 5 hours of professional driving lessons. The other route is a 30-hour online course, but then parents log 50 hours of practice driving with an adult driver 21 or older who has a license, 10 of them after dark. If you can't fit those hours in, the 50-Hour Driving Course covers them for $5,550.00, with 40 daytime and 10 night hours.

Shorter packages run $745 for a one week course (6 hours), $1405 for two weeks (12 hours) and $2065 for three weeks (18 hours), and each includes a 45-minute practice and use of the school's car for the DMV road test. Single lessons are $110.00 an hour. Students learn in a Kia Soul with an instructor brake, and lessons in Spanish are offered. Office visits are by appointment, so call 702-496-7988.
