Where can I take a road test?
All Star Driver Education offers the road skills test in Ann Arbor and Benton Harbor in Michigan. If we do not have a testing site near you, there is a complete list of companies and locations by county found on the Secretary of State (SOS) website.
Do you offer a rental vehicle?
Rental vehicles are offered at select times and dates for an additional fee in Ann Arbor only. You need to book the rental vehicle along with your Road Test registration or call and book it before your test.
Does a student have to be 16 years old to take a road test?
Not necessarily. The student must have held their Level One License for at least 6 months, have completed Segment 2, and have logged at least 50 hours of driving with at least 10 hours of night driving with a licensed adult over the age of 21. Students can take the road test once they meet all of these requirements, however, they cannot obtain their license at the SOS until they are 16 years old.
What training is required to be eligible for a road test?
If you are under 18 years old you must:
- Be 15 years or older to test
- Have held your Graduated Level One License for at least 6 months
- Have driven and logged 50 hours of driving (with at least 10 hours at night) with a licensed adult over 21 years old
- Have successfully completed Segment 2 and have the certificate
If you are over 18 years old or have a foreign license you must:
- Have been to the SOS and passed the written test
- Have received a 1-Cent Receipt from the SOS (for those with a foreign license only)
- Test within the 30 days required otherwise you must get a re-issue
NOTE: No formal driver education is required for an adult (18 years or older), however, it may be a good idea to consult with a driving instructor before taking the Road Test.
How do I sign up for an appointment?
Appointments can be made on our website. You must upload your Level One License (Temporary Instruction Permit), segment 2 certificates, and 50-hour drive log to your student portal. If you have a foreign driver’s license, please have that and your 1-Cent Receipt ready, too.
What should I bring to the road test?
If you are under 18 years old please bring the following:
- Graduated Level One License
- Segment 2 Certificate of Completion
- Drive Log showing at least 50 hours of driving (10 of which should be at night)
- A picture/school ID or legal document showing identity

- Valid vehicle insurance and registration
If you are an adult from out of the state/country please bring the following:

What if I don’t pass my road test?
You must wait at least 24 hours before rescheduling a road test. We do not give refunds for failed road tests, nor do we dismiss the fee for a second road test. This includes documentation failures.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my road test?
You must contact our office at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule a road test. If you call after hours, please leave a voicemail with your name, phone number, and a brief reason for your call within the 24-hour grace period, as the voicemail will provide the date and time of your call. If you do not show up for your road test or do not contact our office 24 hours in advance, you will forfeit the fee for the road test and will have to pay the full price for another test. You may also email us at least 24 hours in advance for cancellations and rescheduling as well.
Can I practice at the road test site?
Legally, you cannot practice at the road testing site. Our site is only set up during scheduled test times. Additionally, you may not test with the same instructor who taught you behind-the-wheel in Segment 1 or any instructors with whom you had private lessons. Lastly, we cannot provide any route information to you. Click here for more information about the road test.
How long does the road test last?
The road test lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
Is there a limit to how many times a person may take the road test?
There is no limit, but keep in mind that the price is the same for each test.
What if I am running late for my road test appointment?
If you are 10 or more minutes late for a road test you may be turned away at the discretion of the road test examiner. There are no refunds issued if you are unable to arrive on time for your scheduled road test. Please note that our corporate office is not a road testing site. All locations, addresses and specific instructions to get to your road test site are listed on our website.
What happens if I don’t bring all the required items to my road test?
Failure to bring all of the required documents (listed above) will result in a failed road test. No refunds will be issued. If you are under the age of 18 and did not bring a parent or legal guardian to the road test, you will be turned away and no refund will be issued.
If it is raining or snowing, do I still have to take my test?
Yes. If you feel that you will not be able to take your test, you must notify our office at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule as stated above. In the event that the weather has provided unsafe driving conditions, the road test examiner or a member of our corporate office staff will contact you.
If I have an interlock device on my vehicle, can I still take a road test?
Yes! In fact, if you have a vehicle with an interlock device, that is the only vehicle you are allowed to use. It is important to make sure that your vehicle with the interlock device installed on it will pass the vehicle inspection portion of the test. The list of items that must be operating on your vehicle can be found in the Road Skills Test Study Guide.
What if I lose my road test certificate?
There is a $30.00 fee for a reissue of a road test certificate. You can get a reissue by calling or visiting our corporate office. Once we receive payment we can either mail your new certificate or you can pick it up.
NOTE: We are unable to email or fax this to you as you are required to have the original.
Do you offer discounts?
We do not offer discounts on-road tests.
