Why We Text 📱

At Good Mood Driving School, we primarily use text messaging to communicate. While it might seem a little impersonal at first, it actually helps us stay organized, respond faster, and keep a clear record of everything discussed.

Our assistant monitors and replies to messages throughout the day to ensure nothing gets missed. It’s the most efficient way for us to serve you. We also will respond after business hours.

If you need to speak with someone by phone, please allow up to 24 hours for a callback during business hours to answer driving lesson questions or booking information. In that same time, we’ve likely booked 30–40 hours of lessons through text—just one more reason texting is the fastest way to reach us.

If you are concerned that this is a scam, remember, you texted us.

Arrival Time

We try to arrive approximately 10-15 minutes early, but sometimes, we have locations between students that are over 30 minutes from each other. In those cases, we will send you a text with our approximate arrival time.

If we are arriving 10 to 15 minutes early to start your lesson, please try to be ready.

This helps us stay just ahead or on schedule.

We may also TEXT you to see if you'd like to move up your booking to an open Timeslot or Swap Timeslots with another student to accommodate travel times and fill in open timeslots.

Please Review and Sign Our School / Student Contract before lessons.

Good Mood Driving School

School & Student Contract

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAREFULLY REVIEW THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE REGISTERING FOR ONE OF OUR CLASSES OR PROGRAMS. This Agreement is between you and GOOD MOOD DRIVING SCHOOL hereby referred to as “GMDS”. It refers to the services provided by GMDS as described on our website, GoodMoodDriving.com. By signing and submitting it to Good Mood Driving School, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE BINDING TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. You also acknowledge that you are the student's parent or legal guardian or at least 18 years old.

Parental Consent

The parent/guardian of the student hereby agrees to allow their son/daughter to take part in one-on-one driving lessons with a certified GMDS Driving Instructor and to partake in all the mandatory curriculum and courses that correspond with the program in which the student is enrolled.

Paperwork

All paperwork must be filled out prior to a student beginning their program, using the true legal name of the student that matches the student’s Learner’s Permit. Please always have the student’s Learner’s Permit available; during the first lesson, the Driving Instructor is required to make a copy (photograph) for GMDS records. Instructors carry the paperwork, or it may be downloaded from our website.

Learner’s Permit

A student who holds a learner’s permit must have the original learner’s permit (photocopy is not permitted) with them for their lessons or else the lesson will be forfeited, and the no-show fee will be charged to the student.

Student Cancellations, Rescheduling and Rebooking Fees

If the student needs to cancel or reschedule a lesson, he/she must notify GMDS 48 hours (2 days) prior to their appointment time, there will be no fees to do so. If a student does not show up to his/her session, he/she will lose that lesson and will not be refunded. To rebook the lesson that was missed and not cancelled / rescheduled within 48 hours, there is a Rebooking Fee of $100 to schedule a replacement appointment.

No Shows

Driving Instructors will wait 15 minutes before considering the student a no-show. There will be no exceptions. If the Driving Instructor has waited 15 minutes, and has tried unsuccessfully to contact the student, they will leave the pick-up site, and the student will lose that lesson, and will have to reschedule their lesson and will incur the $100 Rebooking Fee.

Rescheduling Appointments

GMDS, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to reschedule a student’s appointment based on Instructor availability. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Instructor may show up late. The Instructor might also have an emergency and, therefore, GMDS might have to reschedule an appointment at the last moment. Remember the Instructor will conduct a full lesson if they are late. GMDS will notify a student immediately if there needs to be a change. There will be no charge.

Extra Lessons

If the student does not complete his/her lessons as scheduled, an Extra Lesson Fee of $50 per extra lesson will be charged. For instance, if you opt for 10 lessons of 60 minutes each instead of the provided 5 lessons of 120 minutes, the student will incur a total additional fee of $200 for the extra 5 lessons.

Guarantee or Warranty

GMDS DOES NOT PROMISE, WARRANT, OR GUARANTEE THAT ANY OF ITS STUDENTS WILL PASS HIS/HER DMV ROAD TEST OR THAT THEY WILL NOT GET INTO ANY AUTOMOBILE CRASHES WHILE TAKING PART IN ANY BEHIND-THE-WHEEL TRAINING LESSONS. To the fullest extent allowed by law, GMDS disclaims any and all express and/or implied warranties related to its program, methods, processes and/or curriculum.

Refunds

GMDS will not issue refunds once the student begins his/her behind-the-wheel lessons. GMDS, however, reserves the right to issue refunds in extraordinary circumstances on a case-by-case basis. All refund requests must be made in writing and include the specific reason(s) for the requested refund and, only if accepted and approved by GMDS management, a refund will be issued to the student on a pro-rated basis.

Release and Waiver

The student and his/her parent/guardian hereby release, waive, & discharge all claims & potential claims against, & covenants not to sue GMDS, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliated entities, officers, employees, agents & facilities with respect to any damages, injuries or losses of any kind to the student or any vehicle or any property damage or loss to any other party arising in connection with the student’s participation in the GMDS curriculum & driving GMDS vehicle.

Driving Instructor Development/Shadowing

As part of our ongoing Driving Instructor skill development and commitment to our level of quality and service through our lesson delivery, GMDS Instructors will periodically shadow one another's lessons. During a student’s behind-the-wheel training with GMDS, there may be a second Driving Instructor present in the vehicle as a silent partner observing the lesson.

Additional Passengers

The parent/guardian agrees that multiple students may not be in a vehicle under the supervision of a GMDS Driving Instructor without approval from the parent who purchased the lesson. If a student or passenger is in the vehicle, they must be enrolled in our program to be allowed to be a passenger.

Filming

Both the parent/guardian and student consent to the student being filmed during lessons. Each GMDS vehicle may be equipped with an external and/or internal video camera(s) to record the student’s driving performance and events on the road. Videos that show students' faces will not be distributed externally without prior consent.

DANGER

I UNDERSTAND THAT TEACHING STUDENTS TO DRIVE IS DANGEROUS AND FLUID. THE INSTRUCTOR WILL TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION AVAILABLE TO KEEP THE STUDENT AND VEHICLE SAFE. HOWEVER, THE STUDENT IS OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN CONTROL, AND ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS. ACCIDENTS ARE ALWAYS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY.
