U Drive Driving School

U Drive Driving School gives one-on-one, behind-the-wheel driving lessons to teens from age fifteen and a half and to adults, based on Vegas Drive in Las Vegas. Students need a valid Nevada instruction permit before the first lesson, with no exceptions. The instructor picks students up and drops them off at home, school or work around the valley, including Henderson, North Las Vegas and Summerlin, in a car with dual brakes and dual mirrors, and a Spanish-speaking instructor is available.

Every lesson lasts 2 hours. A single lesson is $140, and packages lower the per-lesson cost: $375 for 3 lessons ($125 each), $600 for 5 ($120 each) or $805 for 7 ($115 each). For teens who need 50 hours behind the wheel, the 50 Hour Package For Minors is $2,500 for 25 lessons, and 10 of those hours have to be driven at night. A Night Time Driving Package is $700 and is booked by phone only. On test day, the $250 DMV road test car rental comes with a 1 hour prep drive to and around the DMV.

Booking costs nothing up front. Payment is due on the day of the lesson, and cards carry a processing fee. The school also points out that Nevada teens under 18 must finish 30 hours of driver's education.
