Terms and conditions

These terms cover car lessons, motorcycle lessons, IBT, test car hire and gift vouchers with Raven Driving Training. I’ve kept them short and plain so you know exactly where you stand before you book.

1. Who I am

Raven Driving Training is run by me, Vlastislav Obsil, an RSA-approved driving instructor (ADI 42951) and IBT instructor. My Dublin office is at Bridge Enterprise Centres, Nutgrove Way, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, D14 T8W2, and my Westmeath office is at Kinnegad Plaza, Co. Westmeath, N91 N9YR. You can reach me on 085 766 9101 (phone or WhatsApp) or at ravendrivingtraining@gmail.com.

2. Booking and payment

Every car and motorcycle session is paid in advance when you book, either in full or with a €50 deposit that comes off the price of the session.
For IBT, a €50 deposit secures your weekend and comes off the €650 course price.

We agree your pickup or meeting point when you book. Current prices are on the pricing page.

3. Cancelling and rescheduling

To change a booking, tell me at least 7 days before the session by phone, WhatsApp or email.
With 7 or more days’ notice, your payment or deposit moves to a new date. You can reschedule once, and the new date is final. It cannot be changed again, and the payment is then non-refundable.
With less than 7 days’ notice, or if you don’t turn up, the money you paid is not refunded. It covers the time I set aside and my travel to meet you.
These rules are the same for car lessons, motorcycle lessons, IBT and test car hire.

4. Extra IBT training

If you don’t complete IBT on your first scheduled weekend, I’ll arrange one extra half-day free of charge at the next available opportunity.
Any further half-days after that cost €300 each.

5. Pickup

Car lessons: pickup is free within about 10 minutes’ drive of the driving test centres in Tallaght, Dún Laoghaire, Naas and Carlow. Collection from farther away may cost extra, and I’ll confirm the price before you book.
IBT: transport to Kinnegad or Tullamore is free from the Red Cow Luas stop, Naas town and Sallins town. From anywhere else, the price depends on the distance, and I’ll confirm it before you book.

6. Your responsibilities

Hold a valid learner permit or licence for the category you’re training in, and bring it to every session. For motorcycle road lessons, bring your IBT certificate too.
Don’t drink alcohol or take drugs before a lesson. If I believe you’re not fit to drive or ride safely, the session will not go ahead and the payment is not refunded.
Follow my instructions during lessons, so we both stay safe.

7. My responsibilities

I deliver training to RSA standards, and my training vehicles and safety equipment meet RSA requirements.
For IBT, the motorcycle, helmet and riding gear are included.

8. Tests and liability

Your driving or motorcycle test result is decided by the RSA examiner, so I can’t guarantee a pass.
I’m not responsible for accidents or incidents that happen outside my lessons.
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under Irish consumer law.

9. Gift vouchers

Gift vouchers are €200 and can be used for car or motorcycle lessons.
To use a voucher, show me the screenshot of the payment confirmation when you arrange your lessons. I match it against my payment records before booking.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland.
