Whether you're a college student who never needed to drive before, someone who's been putting off getting your license, or new to driving in the United States – learning to drive as an adult comes with unique challenges and opportunities. At Burgess Driving School in Tallahassee, we've helped hundreds of adult learners from all walks of life achieve their driving goals.
Every Driver Has a Story
Our adult students come to us for many different reasons. We've taught FSU students who relied on campus transportation but now need to commute to internships - and a doctoral grad who needed to be able to drive a rental car to a job interview! We've worked with professionals who moved to Tallahassee from countries where they drove on the opposite side of the road. We've helped parents who want to be able to drive their children to activities, and individuals who finally decided it was time to overcome driving anxiety.
Customized Training for Your Needs
Adult learners often have specific challenges or concerns. Some need to learn everything from scratch, while others might have years of driving experience in another country and just need to adapt to U.S. roads and rules. That's why we customize our approach for each student:
- International drivers learn American traffic patterns and rules
- Anxious drivers receive patience-focused confidence building
- Experienced drivers who just need a refresher after time away from driving
- Complete beginners start with the basics and build up gradually
Options That Work for You
Understanding that adult learners have busy lives and varying needs, we offer flexible services:
Our Practice Test and Car Rental service gives you a chance to familiarize yourself with the actual test route, practice the five required Road Test maneuvers, and use our vehicle for the official test – all for $195. We'll pick you up, practice near the actual test site, wait while you take your test, and get you back home.
For those needing more comprehensive training, our Adult Driver, Guaranteed program provides six one-hour lessons plus our triple-try guarantee. If you don't pass your first road test, you get two free additional lessons. Don't pass the second time? Two more free lessons. In the unlikely event you don't succeed after three attempts, you'll receive a partial refund.
Success Stories
We've seen countless adult learners transform from nervous beginners to confident drivers. One recent student, an FSU graduate student from India, came to us having never driven on in the United States. Within weeks, she had a Florida driver license. Another student, a local professional in his 30s who hadn't driven in over five years, took a refresher course so he could safely drive a rental a car while on a business trip.
