RACQ can provide lots of useful advice to assist you in the journey of learning to drive. Information that is often taken for granted, such as car maintenance tips and how to choose a driving school, can be found by following the links below.

Car Maintenance

Buying a car can be an exciting time. However with so many considerations and decisions to make, it can also be a daunting experience if you have not done some basic research before you begin. What are the hidden costs? What paperwork do you need to complete? Should you get an independent inspection?

Join RACQ free2go

Queensland Year 11 and 12 students, and 16 and 17 years olds are welcome to join the RACQ free2go youth membership program. If you are eligible, you can get free RACQ membership for 2 years, followed by half price membership for the following two years.

Recommended Driving Schools

When you want to start driving lessons and are looking for a driving instructor, don’t assume cheapest is best. The RACQ's state-wide network of Recommended Driving Schools helps novice drivers take the right steps towards establishing correct driving skills, knowledge and behaviour. These schools also cater for post-licence drivers.

Submitting Your Logbook

Providing you are 17 years of age, you may lodge your logbook as soon as you have completed your required 100 hours of supervised on-road driving. When your logbook is complete, you must also sign the Driving Experience Declaration.
