Best Driving Schools

“Dtsm is a great place for you to do your drivers. The class instructor tried to make the classes more fun. All the people are very nice and respectable. As for the in car lessons I love the instructor he's very nice and sharp. His name is Moe and he is a great in car instructor, I highly recommend this place for people who want to do your drivers ed in Barrhaven”

“I passed my G2 test with only one try, today! My DTSM’s in-car lesson instructor is a great teacher.”

My DTSM’s in-car lesson instructor is a great teacher.” “I had a great experience with my instructor Danny, 10/10. Danny was always very patient with my ability to pick up new skills. His ways of teaching parking were so great and memorable that now I can parallel park with no problems easily on the first attempt (something I didn't think would be possible!). Danny was always very kind and calm when dealing with me, and I never felt under pressure when behind the wheel. My experience was fantastic overall with each lesson. I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking to pass their G2 test first try with flying colours because he will get you to that confidence stage.”

“My instructor Tibor was great. He was patient with my inexperience and constantly checked is to make sure I was comfortable. He was also very easy to talk to.”

“I had a great experience booking my practice driving with Ottawa Driving School. I did my G2 road in Canotek and my instructor, Waiel, arrived promptly for all our sessions. He gave me a lot of recommendations and was very generous with his knowledge. He also gave me some homework to study and practice before the test. Because of his instruction, I passed my road test on the first try. If you’re booking with this driving school, be sure to ask for Waiel. Good luck!”

“I had a very good experience with Aswan from the Ottawa Driving School - she is an amazing instructor! She is a kind and professional teacher, was always punctual for our lessons, and has a very positive and friendly demeanor. She teaches you all of the maneuvers and shares really good tips. She is patient and helps instill confidence with new/nervous drivers while making sure to teach you to be a safe driver on the road. I would recommend her for in-car lessons for the BDE course and road test prep. Thank you for all of your help Aswan!”

“I had the immense pleasure of having Jack as my driving instructor. He made the very nervous driver that I am feel very comfortable and relaxed. During our lessons, he would make jokes and tell me funny stories to lighten up the mood and cure me of my anxiety. He quickly identified my needs and tailored the lessons to me so I could improve my driving and parking skills. In fact, he was so invested in my driving education that, one day, even though he had a family emergency, he still made time for me. I will never forget that. If you are looking for an experienced driving instructor to prepare you for your drive test, Ottawa Driving School is the place to go. Thanks to Jack, I was able to pass my G exam the first time. He gave me all the tips and all the advice I needed to feel confident and ready for my test. Jack, you're truly the best!”

“I passed my G2 Road Test on my First Try thanks to Majed and Ottawa Driving School! I took the online BDE express course with 10-hours of in-car instruction, and also purchased a road test car rental package. When signing up, Ottawa Driving School was quick to respond and provided me with all the information to my questions. As well, because I took the Express course delivery, I was able to complete 10-hours of in-car instruction within 2-weeks (extremely helpful with a time-sensitive date of test). I highly recommend Majed as an Instructor for both beginner and anxious drivers. Majed was always on time, flexible with my work schedule, patient and extremely knowledgeable as an Instructor. What I found sets Majed apart is his ability to break down techniques and concepts, which ensures understanding and comfortability with all manoeuvres no matter how 'basic' they may seem. Because of this approach, a relationship of trust between student and instructor is formed. This is extremely valuable, and not the same experience i've seen from some of my peers who've learned through other driving schools.”

“I have had the opportunity to learn from pretty much every driving instructor at City Driver’s Training. All of them are very knowledgeable and extremely nice people. I had most of the in-car lessons with Hashem and Radek. Hashem is very patient and observant. He figured out my driving errors and weaknesses, and he worked diligently to make sure that I overcome my shortcomings. Radek, on the other hand, is absolutely a great person and an amazing driving instructor. His focus on teaching not only regular driving but also defensive driving is remarkable. He is the person to ask for if you want to know about the “do(s) and don’t(s)” of the road test. While driving on road with Radek, his friendly demeanour and an awesome sense of humour plays an effective role in keeping you relaxed and focused on the road. With this, along with various other positive factors, City Driver’s Training takes away my sincerest recommendations.”

“MUST READ THIS IF EVER YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE DRIVING LESSONS.I would definitely recommend City Drivers Training !!! I tried ABC driving school before but my lady instructor was not calm. She was really scared and freaked out when we went to 60km road but I know that we have to practice on that road. In my 10hours with her, I did not learn how to drive but I have had learned how to panic and be scared everytime when Im driving.(Shes more scared than me) .She would hold the steering wheel all the time and woud use the pedal (this is really true). Basically, she was driving, not me. BEWARE!! Thats there strategies so the student would keep enrolling for more hours and would not pass the road test!I decided to look for another driving school. I dont wanna enroll yet to any driving school because of my experienced in ABC. So I tried one hour driving lesson with Radek. In that one hour, Ive learned how to turn the wheels and drive very calm.(yes, I can not even turn the car after 10 …”

“Thank you so much! I really recommend investing into City driver’s training. Shawn was very informative, funny, and helpful. Radek was my driving instructor, he was also very friendly, he gave me lots of tips which made me confident in my driving. This course helped me improve on road/car knowledge. Customer service was great!”

“Great experience with “City Driver’s training”. I passed my G2 road test with the 1st try with the help of Radek. He’s very professional and friendly. I was very nervous but he helped me gain the confidence to be a good (if not the best 😉) new driver on the road. The examiner was super impressed with my driving skills. Thanks to City Driver’s training especially to my fantastic instructor Radek. If you do your part as a student, 100% you’ll pass! I highly recommend this school.”

“Passed my G1 exit road test today! Huge thank you to Gihad, my driving instructor, because I definitely couldn't have done it without him!! I still remember in my first few hour lessons with him, he brought out a pen and paper and literally drew a rough sketch of an intersection and showed me the various right of way scenarios for making left turns at huge intersections. Having the visual beforehand really made me feel less nervous before actually performing the maneuvers on the road. If, like me, you're an anxious person who's nervous about driving, I definitely will recommend you go with Jim's school and specifically ask for Gihad, if you can you.”

“Today I passed the G test. Thanks to Jim’s driving school and Mr. Peyman Ghamari. I had 3 training sessions and learned a lot from Peyman. I highly recommend Jim’s driving school.”

“I highly recommend Jim’s Driving School. Peyman is a very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable instructor with amazing teaching skills. He patiently teaches all the tips and tricks needed to successfully pass the driving test. Taking his driving lessons, I easily passed both my G2 and full G tests the first time. Many thanks, Peyman. You helped me feel more confident on the road!”

“I have recently passed the G test. I didn’t have much experience driving in Canada and had just 2 sessions with Jim’s driving school. Everything was amazing, Peyman , my instructor was very friendly and he pointed out all the tips and information necessary for having a safe drive in Canada.”

“I had a great experience with Jim's Driving School! What can I say other than magnificent. I started off barely knowing how to control the speed of my car, to passing my G2 road test on my first try, with 0 errors. I would like to thank my driving instructor Gihad, he was patient, knowledgeable, flexible, and very friendly. He thought me everything I know, and more. He was a great instructor. Thank you.”

“So happy to announce that I got my G2 thanks to God. By the helping hand of this amazing instructor Nedal. He was so so nice and patient. It's my second try but I made it now. The first time I had a very impatient instructor from another driving school. He was so nervous and that added more stress on me. So I decided to change the school this time. I looked over the internet and I came across this nice school and I tell myself let's go 💖 The process were so smooth and clear and then I got contacted by my instructor to set up a meeting. It all goes very nice. He was so patient and bring out some jokes to make me less stressed. He encouraged me and got me more confident before the test and that helped a lot. I encourage everyone taking their driving lessons or test with this school and specially with Nedal since he's the one I worked with. But I'm pretty sure they should have many nice teachers from the reviews I am reading. Thank you for this help. And you know what, see you very soon for my full G test drive. THANK YOUUUU NEDAL You can always count on exceptional service with them!”

“My experience with this driving school was great. The online learning was good in many ways. Firstly, it was easy to navigate and very user friendly. Secondly, the information was very useful and helped my driving tremendously. The in car lessons were very helpful as well. My instructor, Sameer, was very kind and made the lessons enjoyable. He was a great teacher and I definitely learned a lot. I am much more confident for my g2 test thanks to Let's Go Driving. I absolutely recommend this school for any drivers looking to improve.”

“I had a great experience with Let's Go Driving School, I would recommend them. Hind is an excellent driving instructor. She is very kind, patient, and calm; and she really knows how to deal with an anxious driver. She prepared me very thoroughly for my road test, which I passed! (Hind even went the extra mile and showed me how to correctly fill up the car at the gas station 😄)”

“I have had an excellent experience with Let's Go Driving school. The online class material was well organized and easy to understand and follow. For the road instruction, I had Mrs. Hind and she was absolutely fantastic. Very patient and professional , good communicator and attuned to my learning needs. I passed the G2 license road test on the first try.”

“We used Cops Driving Academy for all of our children. The teaching they received, both in car and in class, was excellent. Having that third party teach your own children is so good. They'll listen to a former police officer sooner than their parent. (So fun when your kids start pointing out your mistakes lol.) Highly recommend this academy!!!”

“My daughter said that 5 stars is not enough. She is now confident and safe on the road, which makes this mom very happy. I can’t thank you enough. 🙏”

“Philip is an excellent and very experienced driving instructor! He helped me master the skills and gain confidence to pass the G exam without anxiety. I am also very thankful that he managed to schedule classes on a short notice and used the time very effectively to help me identify some weak points and improve my driving significantly. Thank you, Philip... I had a great experience with Allpros and highly recommend them!”

“I had an amazing experience with Allpros, having done both my G2 and G practice with them Philip was my instructor and he truly is the best. He’s very kind, patient, calm, and entertaining, keeping things light and fun while driving and he really helps you learn to drive not just to pass the test, but to truly be a good, safe, and confident driver on the road. He wants to see his students succeed and he always provides them with numerous useful and simple tips and tricks when it comes to parking, lane changes, highway driving, and important things to do during the tests to ensure a pass. We focused on my weaknesses and with lots repetition of routes and key things examiners look out for, it helped calm my nerves and when it came to test day I was excited and prepared and I was able to pass my G2 and G on the first try! They’re also super accommodating with scheduling lessons around school/work/appointments you may have, and working with you to develop a schedule with enough practice time that meets your needs. I highly recommended Allpros and Philip as your instructor!” “With Philip's guidance and instructions, I was able to pass my road test on the first try. I nailed the perpendicular parking after practising it several times under Philip's tutelage. He is a great instructor. Really helpful and patient. I highly recommend AllPros!”

“Had the most wonderful experience with allpros. Philip was my instructor and I highly recommend. Super patient and kind with new drivers when on the road. Not only did I book with Philip for my G2 road test and with his help passed it with ease, but I rebooked with him when going in for my full G, which I also passed with ease. All thanks to allpros drivers ed and Philip. 100% Recommend”

“I recently completed my driver education course at Allpros-Drivers-Ed, and I can confidently say that it was a fantastic experience. The school provided me with all the necessary tools and resources to become a safe and confident driver, and I owe much of my success to my instructor, Philip. He was an excellent teacher, patient, and supportive throughout my learning journey. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a comprehensive driver education program that will equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to become a safe and confident driver. Thank you, Allpros-Drivers-Ed and Philip, for a great experience!”

“Jubouri was a great instructor before going for my 2nd try at the g test. Jubouri was very patient with me throughout the lesson, he is also very good at explaining things very easy. Jubouri was also one of the nicest people i have had the pleasure of meeting, and if your looking for some help passing your G or G2 test give Ottawa safe drivers a call and you will be in greats hands!! Thanks again Jubouri for helping me pass my G test!”

“I highly recommend Safe Drive! Jouhar was a great and patient instructor! I did 14 hours of in car driving with him and passed my G2 on the first attempt!! When it is time to take my G test I will for sure use this driving school again!”

“I had the training with Hassane. It was really great. The training is really of high quality. In fact, I had repeated the exercises so much thanks to the help of Hassane, that I went to the exam really confident. I repeated the exercises with Hassane that on the day of the exam it was really very easy. Not only did Hassane teach me so that I could pass the test, but he also taught me how to become a defensive driver. For example, if I do reverse parking and I stray too far from the sidewalk, Hassane taught me the solutions... So, not only was I able to pass the exam very easily thanks to the help of Hassane, but also I was able to develop real knowledge that will allow me to have a very secure driving for the future. I am really happy with my experience at Safe Drive Ontario. Hassane is also very kind and he gives lots of valuable and insightful advice for the driving. It was really good !!”

“I highly recommend Safe Drive Ontario! Hassan was my driving instructor, he was very patient and knowledgeable. Thanks to the lessons I passed my G2 test first try!”

“I am learning to drive later in life and had let the idea of driving a car become a very terrifying thing. Instructor Ali was able to take my confidence level from less than 0 to the point where I was able to confidently drive in the busy areas around St-Laurent and Walkley for 2 full hours every session. Also, I am a mature student with a very busy schedule of classes and Ali was constantly able to accommodate me and find time to conduct lessons every single week. I was able to log 14hrs of in-car driving time and take my G2 test (and pass!) in only 1 month. Couldn't recommend Safe Drive Ontario and Ali more. Incredibly positive experience. Thank you!”

“I passed the G2 driving test on first attempt. I was vey fortunate to have Mr. Jouhar Ali as my driving instructor. He is extremely patient, very professional, knowledgeable, very thorough in his explanations and he made it easy to understand. I feel much more confident as a driver thanks to his coaching and guidance. I highly recommend Safe Drive Ontario Driving School!”

“Hashim is an amazing instructor and I got G2 and G with his help. He made me a driver and I was very new to driving to be honest. He has helped me a lot to learn all the small skills for driving too. Well his sarcasm has no defeat for sure and it makes it even more interesting to learn with sarcasm and sense of humor coz it helps to remember all the rules and it helps to make less mistakes and he is a great story teller too if anyone who is an introvert he/she will enjoy learning driving from him. I highly recommend On point driving school. FYI I recently drove a truck on my G license and guess where all the confidence came from- check the message above☝🏼”

“Hashim is an excellent driving instructor; I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to drive. I took lessons with Hashim to pass the G2 driving test. On my first lesson, I felt overwhelmed. Hashim was supportive, reassuring, and helped me build confidence in my driving ability. He was also quick to point out mistakes so that they could be corrected before becoming bad habits. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience at OnPoint Driving. If you've passed your G1 written test and aren't sure what to do next, I'd recommend enrolling at OnPoint Driving.”

“I learned a lot from hashim and it helped me pass the test successfully. I would recommend new students to choose on point driving school for their driving tests. Special thanks to Hashim again!!”

“My experience with on point driving school with Hashim was very good he teached me very well and get my drive license easily..:thank you on point driving school,thank you Hashim 👌🏽”

“Mr Hashim is very patient. We scheduled a 2 hr practice session just before my test and he made jokes just to get comfortable and reduce the test jitters - I passed! He’s a very good instructor, I 100% recommend him. Just passed my G and all thanks to Mr Hashim and On Point Driving School. They’re the best!”

“Ali is a amazing instructor. I know him from many years, since I did few classes with him for G2 and cleared in first attempt. Today I passed my G test all because of him in first attempt again. He is calm, patient and knowledgeable. He will make you teach rules which will help you in your real live driving and not just to pass your test. He will watch you drive and will give you tips and tricks wherever needed. If you want to be pro in driving following all safety measures with rules and regulations than go to Rite - Way driving school. I highly recommend him to anyone.”

“Ali is an amazing instructor. He has taught me driving from the scratch within 3 weeks. I didn’t know anything about driving. However, I have passed G2 today like a pro, Alhamdulillah. Thanks a million to Ali for making me zero to hero ‍♀️ . Haya is another instructor from this driving school. She helped my spouse to pass G2 exam. She is good instructor too. Best of luck to Rite-way driving school.”

“I had tried two drivers before my husband finally contacted Ali from Rite driving school. He is simply the best! He was patient and kind, like a father aiming success for the child. Thank you Ali for helping become a better driver and overcoming my fear of driving! Also for helping pass my G2🙏🏾”

“My wife had G2 , we took one lesson from Rite Way Driving School, he was an old guy I think his name was Ali, he gave one hour over view lesson for G road test and exactly understood our requirement and situation. Today she passed ALLHUMDULILLAH G road test exam... very nice instructor and very good communication and teaching skills , highly recommend their service...”

“I've had my g licence for awhile but I decided to take a few lessons to freshen up my parking skills. I was deciding between a few driving schools and instructors and ended up going with Ali from Rite-Way. I am so happy that I did. He was such an amazing instructor. Very calm, patient and knowledgeable. He's also very personable. I would highly recommend him! Thanks so much Ali!

“I appreciate the help and endless support in getting my license. With the guidance and patience of the instructor, I become a safe driver. I have the confidence to drive now. I highly recommend Walkley Driving School in Ottawa to get your license.”

“Even thinking about being the behind wheel was a nightmare for me before taking a driving lesson with Salman Farooq, Waklkey Driving School instructor in Ottawa. I do not exaggerate when I say he is the BEST! I am a really nervous driver, and he has never made me feel stressed or worried when driving in traffic. I have recommended him to all my friends, and I recommend him to everyone else.”

“I would like to thank Salman for his exceptional services. I passed my G2 road test today because of him. I must recommend Walkley Driving School and the instructor Salman to everyone out there who wants to train for Driver’s License exam/Road test.”

“Salman from wakley driving school is really nice teacher. He taught me driving rules and regulations properly. I passed my g test drive today. Pleas should take lessons from him.”

“I had reached out to different driving schools to seek driver education and training for my G2. I had come across Mr.Salman from the Walkley Driving School. He was very patient with me when I was learning. But when I made mistakes, he was firm and serious in explaining them. I was able to pass my G2 on the first try two weeks ago. I will return to Walkley for my full G. Appreciate the effort, promptness and upfront attitude Mr.Salman, thank you.”

“Shuriya is no question THE best!! I had a few lessons with him and passed with great ease. I hooked him up with one of my bro’s last week and he passed his g2 in literally less than a week!! Awesome guy for sure👍🏾👍🏾”

“Shuriya driving school is amazing.They have so much patience and teach you everything you need to pass.I will recommend them anyday”

“Shuriya is the best in the city. I was able to pass G2 road test even though I was very nervous because he taught me well.”

“Shuriye Driving school is one the best driving schools in Ottawa. I had a good experience with instructor Muhiyadin. He taught me all the traffic rules and gave me practical classes I needed for my G2 license. He is a well experienced driving instructor and he cares his students success . He does his best to make sure his students pass their road tests.”

“I strongly recommend Shuriya driving school, He helped my stepson start from zero, took 10 hours driving then booked G2 test at the temporary location. passed last saturday first try. Thank you muyadin”
