A Manhattan school with Westchester offices
New York Auto School has an office at 369 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan and others in White Plains and Eastchester. Its 5-hour class is taught live on Zoom, and the page lists no classroom session for it. The Zoom link is emailed to you. Classes run on weekdays and weekends; the pages we read do not give exact days and times, so check the booking calendar for the date you want.
The school accepts learners from age 16, which matches the DMV’s minimum age for a live class.
English and Spanish classes
The school teaches the class in English and also lists Spanish classes, announced on its site as “Clases en Español.” That is why it appears in our list of providers that teach in Spanish. A Spanish class is the same course and ends with the same MV-278.
The DMV requires a course taught in a language other than English to say so in its advertising, so look for a clear language label when you book, and ask before you pay if you cannot find one.
What the $65 includes
The school’s 2026 price list shows $65 for the class, which is higher than the flat $40 you will see on several other providers in this guide. According to its page, the school adds free road test scheduling when you take the class with it.
Our road test guide walks through the booking steps either way, and our cost guide shows where $65 sits among the prices we checked in October 2026.
Certificate, cancellations and comparison
The MV-278
The certificate is mailed to the address on your permit on the next business day, with regular, certified and overnight mail among the options. The DMV allows a school to mail the certificate to your permit address, and you sign it before you schedule your road test, so make sure that address is current. For more on validity and originals, see our MV-278 guide.
Cancellations
The school follows a 24-hour policy: a late cancellation is charged in full. Settle your date before you pay.
How it compares
New York Auto School is not a Partner, and we have no relationship with it. If a $40 Spanish class suits you better, NY 5-Hour Course lists Spanish classes on select Sundays at 3:00 PM.
What we like
- English and Spanish classes
- Weekday and weekend classes
- Certificate mailed the next business day, with overnight and certified options
- Free road test scheduling with the class
Keep in mind
- At $65 it is at the top of the price range in this directory
- Late cancellations are charged in full under a 24-hour policy
- Specific class days and times are not listed in detail
Our verdict
New York Auto School earns its place through language and certificate handling: it states that it teaches in English and Spanish, and it mails the MV-278 the next business day. The $65 price is higher than at several providers, so the free road test scheduling is part of the value. Ask for the current class dates when you register, since the pages we reviewed do not list specific days and times.
