Online Enrollment
If the Student has not yet applied for an Idaho Driver’s Permit, do not enrollment. All Students must apply for an Idaho Driver’s Permit before enrolling. For more information on how to apply for an Idaho Driver’s Permit, can you view ITD’s website by clicking here.
Payment:
Payment is due at enrollment. The Drive Smart Idaho Full Course fee is $400.00 per student, and Behind-the-Wheel only instruction is $300. Full payment is required before Student will receive their Driver’s Permit and/or certificate of completion. Full Course enrollment includes online Idaho Driver’s Ed course work and behind-the-wheel instruction. Upon successful completion of both, the Student will receive an Idaho Driver’s Permit.
Service Area:
Drive Smart Idaho primarily serves Owyhee County (Within 20-mile radius of Marsing, ID) and Canyon County. Students outside these areas must contact Luci@DriveSmartIdaho.com (or by phone/text: 208-850-6351) before enrolling to determine availability. Service outside the defined areas is not guaranteed and the Student should not enroll without confirmation.
