Checkride deposit: 3 essential checks

01

Review the booking terms. Read the checkride fees and cancellation policies. The booking/admin deposit is $500, and the remaining practical-test balance is due when you arrive. Contact Jason to confirm the current total fee for your test.

02

Match the payment details. Use the exact Venmo handle or Zelle Tag displayed in the original image above. Check the recipient before sending the payment, and include your name and test type so the payment can be matched to your appointment.

03

Keep your appointment details together. Retain your payment confirmation and the scheduling correspondence. A payment alone should not be treated as confirmation of a date; refer to Jason’s appointment confirmation.

Need help before sending your deposit?

If you are unsure about the account or the amount, contact Jason before sending the deposit. For help using the payment applications, visit the official Venmo Help Center or Zelle Help Center. Their general support guidance does not replace the specific recipient identifiers shown on this page.
