LESSON POLICIES

I. Eligibility to Participate in Lessons

In order to participate in a Clutch Control manual transmission lesson you must:

  • Be aged 18 or older.
  • Hold a driving license that is valid for the Commonwealth of Virginia or the state in which you are located.
  • Carry proof of a valid auto insurance policy including: collision, comprehensive, uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage, PIP, PDL, and BIL coverage.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes.
  • Wear any prescribed corrective lenses necessary to have at least 20/40 visual acuity.

II. Responsibilities for Losses

You are responsible for all damage to and loss of the vehicle used during your lesson, regardless of the cause. You warrant that you have a valid and collectible automobile liability insurance policy in effect. You must report all accidents to us and to the police within 24 hours of occurrence.

III. Medical Information

By participating, you represent and warrant that you do not have any medical, physical, or mental health conditions which could be directly related to your performance, have not had a fainting spell, blackout, or seizure in the past six months, and have visual acuity of at least 20/40 corrected.

IV. Lessons

Your Clutch Control instructor will provide a car for use during the lesson. Clutch Control instructors teach students how to operate a manual transmission, not how to drive a car. You warrant that you already know how to safely operate a motor vehicle. No one is allowed in the training vehicles during lessons except for the student and instructor.

V. Scheduling & Payment

All lessons are scheduled using Clutch Control’s website. Payment in advance is required. If you disagree with a lesson confirmation email, you must contact Clutch Control within 72 hours.

VI. Refund Policy

Clutch Control operates an “Easy Refund Guarantee.” If you decide you no longer wish to participate, we will refund any unused funds without charge, subject to a 10% cancellation fee. Funds must be applied to lessons within six months of original payment.

Code of Conduct

  • You will arrive on time.
  • You will not damage the vehicle in any way.
  • You will obey all laws and posted rules of the road during the duration of your lesson.

VII. Cell Phone / Electronic Device Usage

Students will not be allowed to use their cell phones or any electronic devices while in the instruction vehicle. This policy will be strictly enforced with one warning; thereafter, the instructor may immediately terminate the lesson with no refund.

CANCELLATION & RESCHEDULING POLICY

You must provide at least 24 hours’ notice to your instructor if you wish to cancel or reschedule a booked lesson. Failure to do so may result in your instructor charging you the full lesson fee — no exceptions will be made for late cancellations.

Clutch Control makes every effort to arrive on time and deliver every scheduled lesson. However, circumstances outside our control — including instructor illness, severe weather, or a vehicle malfunction — may require us to cancel a lesson on short notice. In such cases, Clutch Control will not incur any fees or charges, and you will receive a full credit toward rescheduling.

REFUND POLICY

If you cancel a lesson and request a refund, Clutch Control will deduct a 10% processing fee from the refunded amount to cover credit card processing and administrative costs incurred during both the original transaction and the refund. Refunds typically take 5–10 business days to process.

No fee will be charged if you choose to reschedule rather than cancel.

LESSON DISCLOSURES

No Guarantee — Given the different learning abilities and paces of our students, Clutch Control does not guarantee that you will feel fully prepared to operate a manual transmission within the hours you have purchased. If you desire more time, you are responsible for purchasing additional lesson hours. Please communicate openly with your instructor if the pace is too fast or too slow — your feedback is the best way to get the most out of your lesson.

Lesson Duration & Partial Completion — Some students progress faster than expected, and lessons may conclude earlier than the scheduled end time. No refund will be issued for any unused portion of time once a lesson has begun.

Day of Lesson — Wear closed-toe shoes (sneakers preferred; no boots or flip flops). Bring your valid driver’s license. We recommend bringing a snack and something to drink.
