Renaissance Driving SchoolFAQ's
How do I know if Renaissance Driving School is certified by California's DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?
While we do include Renaissance Driving School's contact information in our driving school directory, we cannot say with certainty as to whether Renaissance Driving School is certified by the State of California. We recommend that you either contact Renaissance Driving School directly or possibly the California DMV to find out if Renaissance Driving School is a licensed driver training school.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in California, so taking a Tarzana driver training course like the one Renaissance Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the California DMV or a licensed driver training school like Renaissance Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift automobile? Does Renaissance Driving School have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?
If you're taking a Tarzana California behind-the-wheel training class, chances are you don't know how to drive ANY vehicle yet-- manual or automatic. However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell Renaissance Driving School that prior to enrolling in the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will Renaissance Driving School teach me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?

I'm turning 14 in a few months. Can I get a instruction permit to drive in California after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for a learner's permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the California DMV office or a California-certified driving school such as Renaissance Driving School to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Can I take Renaissance Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Tarzana California defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what California's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on California's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact Renaissance Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
