Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Rhode Island's rules for instructors, cars and course content. Training from an unlicensed business may not count toward a license, and an insurer may not accept its certificate for a discount.
In Rhode Island, driving schools are licensed through the Rhode Island DMV.
- Search Rhode Island’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Under 18: a 33-hour classroom course before the limited instruction permit. (source)
- Behind the wheel: no state-mandated hours. Lessons with a DMV-licensed school are optional. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Rhode Island DMV before you enroll.
