Learning to drive, one student at a time
Welcome to the Hawaii Driving Institute (HDI), a premier driver education school on the island of Oahu. Our institution is dedicated to providing high-quality driving instruction and education to both new teenage and adult drivers. With a team of certified instructors by the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, we offer a comprehensive driver education program that meets the requirements of the State of Hawaii.
Our Services
At Hawaii Driving Institute, we offer a range of services designed to help you become a confident and safe driver. For teenagers, our program consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel (BTW) instruction, as required by the State of Hawaii. This comprehensive program is designed to educate students on the rules of the road, traffic laws, and safe driving practices.
For adults, we offer behind-the-wheel only instruction, giving you the flexibility to focus on improving your driving skills and preparing for the road test. Our instructors are experienced and certified to provide personalized instruction and guidance to help you achieve your driving goals.
Our Commitment
At Hawaii Driving Institute, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for all our students. Our instructors are certified by the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation and have extensive experience in teaching driving skills to students of all ages and skill levels.
Our Process
Our driver education program is designed to be divided into two parts: classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel instruction. In the classroom, students learn the fundamentals of driving, including traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. During the behind-the-wheel instruction, students practice driving with an instructor, focusing on developing their driving skills and building confidence behind the wheel.
