The SimuDriveLab simulator: racing seat, steering wheel, pedals and three wraparound screens

Safe practice

Build muscle memory and confidence without the stakes of a real vehicle on a real road.

Real scenarios

Train through diverse weather and complex traffic situations that are hard to find in standard practice sessions.

Expert insights

Get immediate, data-driven feedback on your braking, steering, and reaction times from day one.

Save costs

Reduce the number of expensive in-car lessons needed by mastering fundamentals on the simulator first.

What students practice

Real driving situations, practiced safely

Real traffic, real conditions

39 lessons and 200+ scenarios on city streets, highways, country roads and mountains — by day or night, in rain, fog or ice.

Dangers before they're real

Driving simulator training: common questions

What is SimuDriveLab?

SimuDriveLab is a driving simulator training center in Bentonville, Arkansas. New drivers practice steering, braking, traffic and hazards on a full simulator with a real seat, steering wheel, pedals and three wraparound screens, with no risk to themselves or a car.

Is SimuDriveLab a driving school?

No. SimuDriveLab offers driving simulator practice only. We are not a licensed driving school, and we do not provide behind-the-wheel instruction or licensing.

Does simulator practice replace real driving lessons?

No. It prepares you for them. Students learn the controls, the rules and how to handle difficult situations on the simulator first, so time in a real car is calmer and better used.

Do I need a learner's permit or a driver's license?

No. You do not need a learner's permit or a license to train on the simulator.

Who is it for?

New drivers, including teens who are getting ready to drive. Students under 18 need a parent or legal guardian to agree to the terms and sign the liability waiver.

How long is a session, and what does it cost?

A session is 60 minutes on the simulator. A single session is $70, and 5 and 10-session packages cost less per session. See pricing.

What will I practice?

There are 39 structured lessons and more than 200 driving scenarios, from first controls to high-risk situations: city streets, highways, rural and mountain roads, by day and at night, in rain, fog and ice. Students also see what distracted and impaired driving do to their reactions.

Can I practice with a manual transmission?

Yes. The simulators can be set to automatic or manual transmission.

Do I get feedback on my driving?

Yes. You get data-driven feedback on your braking, steering and reaction times, and a progress report after your session that you can open from your dashboard on this website.

Can I cancel or reschedule a session?

Yes. You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before your session. The details are in our Terms of Service.

Can I give simulator sessions as a gift?

Yes. You can buy a gift card online and we email it to the person you choose. See Gift a session.

Where are you, and which areas do you serve?

We are at 900B S Walton Blvd, Suite 3, Bentonville, AR 72712. Students come to us from Bentonville, Rogers, Bella Vista, Centerton, Springdale and Fayetteville.
