|---|---|
| Service Centre |     |
For a non-government assessor:
You must ask the individual assessor what payment methods they accept.
Non-government assessors can only charge the standard fee for a P1 assessment, however, they can also charge additional fees for:
- hire of an assessment vehicle
- a car familiarisation session
- assessing in your vehicle (or a driving school's vehicle)
- other fees for services (such as fees for rural travel, administration or booking fees).
It is a good idea to confirm what fees you will be charged for a P1 assessment before booking with a non-government assessor.
