I’d like to recommend Rodney’s driving lessons to anyone looking for a great instructor in Cairns. Rodney is an excellent instructor with lots of experience. He explains clearly how to turn the steering wheel to park correctly — often within just one or two tries. During lessons, he never misses even the small details that are easy to overlook. After a while, he lets you drive without constant guidance to see what areas you need to improve or pay more attention to. As someone who doesn’t use English as my first language, I found his explanations very clear and easy to understand. Even now, when I drive, I can still hear his voice reminding me what to do (lol).
His car is also very clean, and since I’m small and have short legs, he even had an extra seat cushion ready to help with height — very thoughtful and well-prepared!
The booking system is super easy and clear. The website shows available dates and times, and payment is simple. After payment, you receive both an email and a text message, which is very convenient. Before the actual lesson day, you’ll get another reminder by email and text, and you can contact Rodney anytime if you need to. Everything feels well-organized and easy to manage.
On the lesson day, he arrives on time at the meeting point, and if you need to change the pickup or drop-off location, you can let him know in advance.
I highly recommend Rodney — even if you already know how to drive. For those who have driven in another country, the rules and expectations in Australia can be quite different. I’ve driven for many years in my home country, but after moving abroad and not driving for a long time, I recommend you to take 3–5 hours of lessons before taking the test. It really help to feel confident and avoid failing multiple times.
