AAA's Senior Driver Education can help you
stay safe and keep you behind the wheel.

Private Evaluations for Seniors

Meet with a AAA Certified Driving Instructor to help evaluate your driving skills

A senior driving evaluation is available for aging drivers that want to be confident in their ability to continue driving. AAA’s private evaluation is a 45-minute in-car review of a driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle under various driving conditions.

A written report is available following the evaluation, helping the individual to make minor changes to their driving habits in order to keep their mobile independence for a longer period of time. Upon request, the report can also be sent to a court, doctor, or family member.

Pricing & Schedule

Private Evaluations are scheduled on a case-by-case basis. An instructor can pick up and drop the driver off at home in a AAA vehicle.

To register or for more information, call (716) 630-3243.

Members: $80
Non-Members: $90
