About Us
Due to high demand, our driving school is now open to EVERYONE (not just
Migrants and Refugees) so get your Passport 2 Drive with us!
Launched in June 2015, this Community Driving School is a response to the need for the Migrant and Refugee community to learn to drive safely and legally on NZ roads.
We can provide language support if needed, please let us know if you require it.
We look forward to helping you learn to drive safely and be successful in passing your test.
Driver’s Licence
Getting your Driver’s Licence is the “Passport” to a successful future.
Driving legally opens up so many possibilities and enables independence, job security and freedom.
Passport 2 Drive is NZ’s first Community Driving School. The funding we receive enables us to offer Driver Education at reduced rates.
The cost of your Learn-to-Drive journey will depend on what driving level you are at:
Beginner - (little or no experience)
Beginner Level
Please note: Due to high demand, there is a waiting list (approx 4-6 weeks)
