My son did his in-car driving lessons and driving test through DriveSafe and was happy with the lessons and the instuctors. They were thorough and patient. I would recommend this school.
Excellent Experience! Will be using for my two other children in the future
The ease of scheduling drives and the drivers in-person course itself. All staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the process.
I have learned a lot, I-have been driving around and so far so good. Been very cautious around when I am driving. Thank you to all my Driving instructors I do not remember their names but they are all awesome. I will recommend DriveSafe Driving School to all my friends. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We used drive safe for the online written test lessons, the written test, a 1 hour drive lesson a month before my son took his drivers test and then for the actual drivers test. All four we were very happy with. Quick, efficient and friendly staff. My son thought that the driver lesson instructor was very friendly and informative on what is needed to pass the drivers test and what he should work on. We would definitely recommend the smoky hill location and plan on using them for our daughter when she will be ready in a few years.
The staff was very good. The have experienced coach who gave me good training to get my driving license.
I think everyone was really nice. I am over the age of 18 and I didn’t feel judged which helped me out a lot. In a driving test situation I got anxious but when doing the test drive the instructor was kind and gave compliments AND feedback.
I was able to obtain my first driver license without any problems!
Instructors were friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. They made me feel very comfortable while learning and I was super confident going into the test!
My Son was able to get great instruction from someone other than us 'parents' that don't know much (lol). The drive time gave him the experience he needed to be ready for his drivers test. I recommend the defensive driving course, this was what he said was most fun. Thanks to the entire staff for getting him from A to B over the last year.
My instructor was a great help. I was a little older when taking this because of some issues I was having. She treated me with respect and was very nice. I am very grateful I found this school as I am not sure I'd be driving if I hadn't.
Nice staff and helpful with rescheduling! She enjoyed the drive instructors as well. Overall a good experience for my daughter
What a great experience we had with drive safe. All of the time they spent making sure our daughter was prepared was well worth the money. The instructors drove with her in the middle of the city for hours in snow conditions and at night. My daughter who is naturally introverted said she felt safe and comfortable with each instructor. If there was ever a time I needed to cancel or reschedule there was someone readily available to help. Thank you Drive Safe!
The service was great, patient experienced trainers, well maintained vehicles. My problem is that this service has charged me $5 a month for roadside service and offers no way of canceling.
Very helpful staff and instructors :-)
The trainer is calm and friendly.
Great work from all the staff, I really recommend it! I hope they make a motorcycle drivesafe!
I want to start this review by saying my driving instructor was extremely helpful and did a fantastic job. However the beforehand was frankly ridiculous. The inability to schedule outside of three months puts such a hindrance on getting your drivers license that attempting it is frustrating. Please hire more people so this becomes less of an issue.
