Why Parents Choose Republic of Drivers

🛡
GNB Approved & Fully Insured
Approved Government of New Brunswick driver education curriculum. All lessons in fully-insured school cars with dual brake controls. No risk to your family vehicle.
👀
Digital Lesson Notes — You Stay in the Loop
After every lesson, the instructor logs what was covered, what your teen did well, and what to keep working on. Visible to you and your teen 24/7. No more wondering what's happening behind the wheel.
🚗
Free Pickup from Home or School
We pick up from Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview — including all major high schools. You don't need to drive them to and from lessons.
💸
First Chance Discount on Insurance
Approved driver education doubles your teen's insurance experience credit (3 years → 6 years). For most families this saves $1,000–$2,000+ in their first year on a parent's policy or their own.
📅
Online Booking, Built for Busy Families
Book lessons 24/7 around school, work, and sports. Reschedule with one tap (24h+ notice, no fee). Never play phone tag with a driving school again.
💳
Flexible Payment
Card, Afterpay (4 interest-free installments), Interac e-Transfer, or cash. We make it easier on the family budget.

💰 The Insurance Math (Often Pays Back the Course)

New Brunswick rewards teens who complete a GNB-approved driver education program with the First Chance Discount — 6 years of insurance experience credit instead of 3. Most NB insurers translate this into a meaningful first-year discount on a teen's policy (or your policy if they're added to it).

For many families, the first year of insurance savings alone pays back the entire program cost. Read our full breakdown →

Common Parent Questions

Will my teen be ready for the road test?

Our certification programs are designed exactly for that. Each program includes the full GNB-approved 25-hour theory portion (20h online + 5h in-class), structured in-car lessons, and our car for the road test itself. The 8-month accelerated path (with approved education vs. 12 months without) means your teen can be on the road sooner — but only when they're truly ready. Your instructor will tell you honestly if more practice hours are needed.

How do I monitor my teen's progress?

After every in-car lesson, the instructor logs digital notes about what was covered, skills demonstrated, and areas to keep working on. You and your teen can review these any time from the dashboard. No more guessing about what's happening during lessons.

What if they need extra hours beyond the package?

Add-on practice hours are available at $70/hr (1h), $215 (3h), or $445 (7h). Your instructor will let you know if extra hours would help — there's no pressure to upgrade unless your teen genuinely needs the extra time.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Afterpay splits the total into 4 interest-free biweekly payments ($35 setup fee). Card, Interac e-Transfer, and cash are all also accepted.

Do you do pickup from school?

Yes — free pickup and drop-off across Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview, including from Moncton High, Harrison Trimble, BMHS, École L'Odyssée, École Mathieu-Martin, and Riverview High. No need to be the parent taxi service.

What about adverse weather and winter driving?

Our Premium Program includes specific adverse-weather training. For Basic and Plus students, weather skills are covered in the in-class theory session and as opportunities arise during regular lessons. Driving in NB winters matters — we make sure your teen can handle them.

What if my teen doesn't pass the road test?

We help them prep again. The instructor reviews exactly what went wrong on the test sheet, and you can add practice hours focused specifically on those areas. We'd rather your teen pass safely on the second try than barely scrape through on the first.
