Current license since = the date the California DMV issued the school's current occupational license (public record). A school that re-licensed under a new owner or business entity shows the newer date, so it is a license-record fact, not years in business. Prices and hours are as stated on each school's own website or listing and change without notice; confirm before booking. Per hour = stated package price divided by package hours.

How to choose a driving school in Fontana
- Confirm the school's DMV license is active (verify link on every listing) and note how long the current license has been held
- Ask whether the price includes the full 6 hours behind-the-wheel, and what a DMV test car costs on top
- Check pickup and drop-off from home or school, and how lessons are scheduled (2-hour blocks are typical)
- Compare Google ratings against review count; a 4.9 from 200 reviews says more than a 5.0 from 6
- Ask about instructor experience, dual-brake vehicles and lessons in your language if needed
- For teens: finish drivers ed first so the permit is in hand before the first lesson
Fontana driving school FAQ

Because Fontana has only two licensed schools, the page also lists the 6 nearest licensed schools in neighboring cities, with distances.
- How much do behind-the-wheel lessons cost in Fontana?
