Steinbach Driving School — Prices, Retest Package & Road Test Car Rental
Steinbach, MB · MPI-listed Class 5 & Class 4 school · Teaching since 2012 (school’s claim) · Pickup and 7-day lessons
Steinbach Driving School is a long-running local school that says it has been teaching since 2012, with pickup and drop-off, lessons seven days a week, and a price list that is posted openly on its website. It appears on MPI’s official list of permitted Class 5 driving schools for Steinbach, and it uses dual-control, government-certified cars, according to the school.
What stands out is how much of the practical detail is spelled out: a 5-lesson package that includes the authorization letter for a re-test, a road test car rental, lessons for medical re-testing, and Class 4 lessons as well as Class 5.
Published Pricing
The math: 5 lessons at $70 is $350, so the package has no per-hour discount; you are paying the single-lesson rate and getting the authorization letter for MPI. That is fine if you need the letter, but if you don’t, buying lessons one at a time costs the same. The road test car is $65, and the school says it is only available after you have taken a lesson and the instructor approves you, so it isn’t a pure rental for someone who hasn’t driven with them. The pricing page doesn’t say whether tax is added.
The retraining rule in plain terms. Since November 2024, MPI requires 5 hours of instruction from an MPI-permitted school after three failed road tests before you can book a fourth. This school’s 5-lesson package is built around exactly that, and it includes the letter you need. Confirm that the letter is accepted as MPI’s Driving Instruction Verification form before you pay.
What Steinbach Driving School Offers
Class 5 & Class 4 Lessons
One-hour individual lessons for both licence classes, in dual-control cars.
Retest Package
Five lessons plus an authorization letter for the road test after three failures.
Road Test Preparation
A one-hour lesson before the test, and a car rental for the test itself if the instructor approves.
Medical Re-Testing Prep
The school lists lessons to prepare for a medical re-test, which few schools mention.
Parking Method
Parallel parking taught with a "3-step system". Parallel parking is a test-ending exercise in MPI’s rules.
The school’s own list of lesson topics is unusually detailed: wheel control, anticipation, lane changes, turns, threshold braking, passing, crosswalks, traffic awareness, merging and uncontrolled intersections, among others. It is the school’s description, so treat it as an outline of what it aims to cover, not a guarantee of outcomes.
What We Could and Couldn’t Verify
- Confirmed: the school is on MPI’s Steinbach list, and the phone number, 204-298-3600, matches the website.
- Experience: the site says it has operated since 2012. That is the school’s own claim.
- Instructor: the website names an instructor called Kim and describes the teaching as calm and clear.
- Testimonials: the website shows student comments about passing the road test, confidence and effective parallel parking instruction. We treat them as marketing, not independent reviews.
- Independent reviews: we found a Facebook page but no rating or count we could rely on, so we quote none.
- Not published: street address and set business hours. The website says text is the preferred way to reach the school.
By the Numbers
Common Questions
Is Steinbach Driving School on MPI’s permitted list?
Yes. It appears on MPI’s official Find A Driving School list for Steinbach, and the phone number matches the website. You can also ask to see the instructor’s valid permit.
Can I rent the car without lessons?
Not according to the website. The $65 road test car rental is available after you complete a lesson and receive the instructor’s approval.
How do I book?
Call or text 204-298-3600 (text preferred), or email steinbachdrivingschool@gmail.com.
How can I pay?
The website lists cash, debit, Visa and MasterCard.
Where does pickup happen?
From your home or work, or from a central pickup location, in Steinbach and the surrounding area. Ask how far the surrounding area extends and whether there is a fee.
Will I practise my exact road test route?
No school in Manitoba should promise that. MPI’s rules say instructors can’t teach the routes used in actual road tests, so expect practice on the skills and road types you’ll meet instead.
Who This School Is For
Steinbach Driving School suits learners who want clear published prices, card payment, weekend availability and pickup from home or work, and anyone who has failed three tests and needs the authorization letter. The $70 rate is in the middle of what published Manitoba prices look like.
Confirm whether tax is added, how the letter is issued, and how soon you can get a lesson. If price matters most, compare the other Steinbach schools on our Steinbach road test page.
