We require a $150 non-refundable deposit in the form of a check made payable to “Hamilton’s Driving School” in order to hold a spot.

Please mail the check to 10 Tamrox Drive, Arundel, ME 04046.

Please inform us of the student, start date and location with the payment. The rest of the balance will not be paid until the first day of class. Please mail the check after you have signed up either online, by email or by phone.
