FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Is a Pasnger supervisor the same as a driving school?
No. Pasnger supervisors are fully licensed supervising drivers. They sit beside you while you practise, the same way a parent or friend would, so you can build your logbook hours. Many learners book a driving school too, and use Pasnger to build up their hours in between.
Do Pasnger hours count towards my VIC logbook?
Supervised hours count when your supervisor holds a full Australian licence and the session is recorded in your logbook. After each session your supervisor and you both confirm the entry, so it is ready to copy into your official logbook.
How many hours do I need?
In Victoria, learners under 21 need 120 hours of supervised driving, including at least 20 hours at night. Your Pasnger logbook tracks day and night hours separately so you always know where you are up to.
Whose car do we use?
Some supervisors bring their own car, often with dual controls. Others drive with you in your car. Each profile shows which option they offer, and you choose when you book.
How are supervisors checked?
Before anyone can take bookings we check their full licence, a national police check and a Working With Children Check, and confirm their car insurance if they supply a car. Each profile shows which checks are complete.
What does it cost?
Supervised drives cost $39 to $62 an hour all-in, with GST included. That is the supervisor's own rate plus our 12% service fee. Sessions after 7pm or before 6am have a $6 an hour night premium. You see the full total before you pay.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel for free up to 24 hours before your session. Inside 24 hours you are charged 50% of the session. If a supervisor cancels, you get a full refund.
I'm under 18. Can my parent pay?
Yes. A parent or guardian can link to your account, pay for sessions, and approve bookings before they are confirmed.
