We require a $150 non-refundable deposit in the form of a check made payable to “Hamilton’s Driving School” in order to hold a spot.

Please mail the check to 10 Tamrox Drive, Arundel, ME 04046.

Please inform us of the student, start date and location with the payment. The rest of the balance will not be paid until the first day of class. Please mail the check after you have signed up either online, by email or by phone. We require at least on weeks notice if you plan to change classes in order to transfer your deposit, failure to do so will result in loss of the deposit.


We are located right across from Deering High School (385 Stevens Ave, formerly Lanes Driving Academy).  Portland High Students can take the Husky Line Bus and get to class with plenty of time to spare!
