Express DDA License Test (in your vehicle) $75 $35
The Choice is Yours!!! Sure, you can go online and try to schedule your test and wait in line at a local DMV, or you can express schedule your license test right away at one of our test facilities at Auto Lenders in Exton, or our home office in Newtown Square. This Test option is perfect if you already have your own vehicle, practiced driving with a friend or family member, and have someone who can bring you to our facility on test day. If you don't pass on your first attempt, don't panic, we can get you express scheduled again right away. Other schools will charge you full price to test again, but at DDA, for a limited time, retests are only $25.

Quick Prep, Test & Car (in our vehicle) $250 $125
DDA instructors know the entire test better than anyone because we're certified by PennDOT to perform the same license test they administer at local DMVs. This 30-minute session includes a DDA coach on test day and a DDA car to warm up, review parallel parking, and calm things down right before your test. Local DMVs sometimes experience delays, and long lines, but DDA can schedule our car, coach, and your test in just a few days so you can pass and get that PA license ASAP. Transportation to and from our facility is required.
