Driving School Recommendations

Most recent recommendations as of January 2025

Since the question of where to take driving lessons often comes up, I wanted to give a shout-out to Lama Driving School in Brooklyn. My daughter just passed her road test this week. I found the recommendation here and their rates were less expensive compared with some of the other driving schools in the area. They were very flexible when she had to reschedule a lesson last minute. They also had a ton of dates/times available for the DMV road test (another parent here had noted that the driving schools snap up all the spots and that appears to be true). She felt very well prepared and said all the instructors were good.

I had a great experience with this school: https://www.nowiwanttodrive.com

 We’ve had a great experience with Autonautics.    

_________

We had a great experience with  Autonautics. Plus not only do they make the road test appointment for you, but will take your child to the road test appointment and your child can take the test in their car. Much less stress for both the child and parent.

Lama was fine but it was difficult to get through on the phone and to schedule classes. When we got through the times and/or the preferred instructor would not be available. Occasionally the person answering the phone could not help and we were asked to call back later. 

I finally gave up and signed our daughter up for Driver's Ed with Autonautics.  The classes and lessons for 10 weeks - a set time each week for both - were seamless and they set up a road test for her, which she passed on her first try.

We had a good experience with Revolution. They are really nice and helped my daughter pass her test with a perfect score!).

____________

My daughter is using Revolution Driving School. I believe they have locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Experience has been good but you must book far in advance for lessons because they fill up. I bought a 10 lesson/road test/online course package and think it was a good value.

_________

We used Revolution Driving school in Manhattan, but they also have a location in Brooklyn.

________

Revolution Driving School is great. The drivers Ed class is 5 hours over zoom and they also offer driving lessons and will take you to the road test if you want them to. They have a park slope location.

Hi -We've had good luck with Drive Rite, which has several locations -- including Prospect Hts and near Brooklyn College -- that made it convenient.  Our only challenge lately has been scheduling because they're pretty full -- but they are very responsive.
