Reviews of Drive Co Driving Academy Pty Ltd

L. P.

I was really fearful about driving and it took me the longest time to decide on lessons . Intructors were patient , accomodating and encouraged me to move through my fear. Prepared me for everything i passed first time 🤩

C. V. H.

Update: Apparently the driving school has changed management. All lessons have now been completed, including 2 free lessons as an apology. Mohamed and Desray have really been very helpful. The most unprofessional company i have ever dealt with! Signed up after reading the positive reviews ...WORST MISTAKE EVER! 3 instructors (one even suggested smoking pot with my teenage daughter during the lesson and asked her for a cell phone). They were constantly late, (if they even showed up) and no/poor communication. No 1 and 3 were nice guys, but very unprofessional. Contacted the owner (Haniff) every time and he kept making promises to sort it out....didn't happen. I asked 3 times for a refund and he finally agreed to refund me ...been waiting since 9/10/18 for it though. No, Mr Haniff, i did not receive a receipt, but i do have all our correspondence saved, so do not tell me i am with another driving school as you have done with others. Save yourself the frustration, time and money and do not sign up with Drive Co.

Thanks to driveco I have passed my driving test :) . However there were ups and downs with achieving this goal. I have been practicing with this company for about a half of a year and met a few instructors. I have not felt comfortable with two instructors as I felt their teaching techniques were not for me. However, when I requested for a different instructor, company followed through (maybe not the instructor you wanted but they will give you someone much more better; in my experience). I really appreciate the videos and documents the company gives their clients as it removes the uncertainty you have with respect to your driving techniques. And I recommend if you do not feel comfortable with your current instructor or vehicle, request for a different one (I personally recommend using the Toyota Yaris since it feels really smooth while driving and the two instructors Ridewaan and Alphonso are really good instructors) until you are satisfied.

I finally got my drivers today thanks to DriveCo! After going through 2 other schools I can honestly say that DriveCo is worth it. Phoning up, they were very friendly and we're willing to accommodate me based on my requirements. After the first lesson I was told truthfully how many lessons I would need. I went and got a test date, gave them a weeks notice, booked the few lessons I was told I needed, went for the test and passed! Moneywise it's great, instead as they are honest and won't make you pay for something you don't need. Imtiyaaz was great. Very patient and calm. Instructions were clear and simple. Lessons were organised on what I needed to work on and sorted by the end of the lesson. He listened to my concerns and helped me be more confident. Any problems were communicated and accommodated accordingly. Should've gone with DriveCo from the beginning.

To give credit where it is due i believe and Gibbs at Drive Co have earned it !!! Very informative and thorough learners classes. I passed with full marks. The driving lessons was excellent. Car was always clean and fresh smelling. Gibbs was fantastic at my training and covered everything in detail taking time to explain and answer my questions. I had 3 learners classes and 23 driving lessons and passed my licence last week Wednesday at first attempt at the Greenpoint traffic department. Even the traffic inspector complimented my driving and that felt good.

In partnership with The Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation and the DriveCo Driving School I started my driving experience under the tutoring of Aneef and Imtiyaaz. The services offered were really great and the classes and lessons offered were really informative. I experienced no difficulties and would recommend this driving school to anyone who is starting their driving journey.

What great services, with this driving school. From the time Imtiyaaz did my booking, to Niyaaz teaching me how to drive. I enjoyed the lessons, informative and very professional. A driving school I would recommend. I am a happy customer with a legal drivers licence. Thank you team DriveCo, you are amazing!

E. S.

Passed my drivers test first time on Friday and got very good service and my instructor Duncan was a great teacher. They handled everything for me and I'm glad I chose this school . I recommend driveco any day.

U. P.

After my brother passed his license and recomended driveco driving school i did my learners licence with them and had a good experience ... i passed my learners license the first time and drivers licence on my first go. I had great service from Sam at the office with the driving simulator and video lessons. Also thanks to Mike who gave my driving lessons was awesome and professional. I started from complete scratch but was trained very well. I would recommend them to all.

Z. K.

Efficient friendly service. I appreciated the computer simulator lessons and the level of concern from my instructor Duncan and the management about if im ready to pass or not. Overall i felt well looked after at this company and recommend them !

Booked 3 lessons and car hire from Drive Co after previously being unsuccessful with another driving school. Even though my time constraints were a bit challenging since I could only train after 6pm, the owner was very accommodating and even got me my preferred car for the test. Shane and Desiree helped me correct the flaws in my driving and I was able to pass without issue afterwards. Thanks for the help everyone.

I am participant within the Youth@Work under the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy foundation It was a great learning with DriveCo Driving Academy, because it has made things easy for me for my learners by giving me an understanding of everything about road signs,rules and control. So on my side I would recommend that you try it , it is best. Kindly regard

R. G.

I am a fellow of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy foundation. My experience with this driving school is beautiful. NO WORRIES. They take care of everything for you. I'll recommend anyone anytime . Thanx you in advance

From the time I stepped in their office when I started I was treated well. The first question I was asked was by Nageeb was by when do i need to pass. I found that really impressive because they worked out everything around that. They put up with all my questions and I passed my test first time. I've recommended this school to all my friends and I wish them strength.

K. T.

Wow.what a wonderful experience. As a very anxious person,i would truly recommend Drive Co. Hanif thank you so much for your patience.

A. I.

Very disorganised Company. They pre-book lessons and when a lesson falls on someone else's test date, they cancel your lesson and promise to make up the lesson which they don't actually do. Nadeem is difficult to get hold of, and if you eventually do get hold of him, he is evasive, and can even put the phone down on you. He is also rude. I would not recommend this diving school as their service is terrible. My niece paid upfront. She did not get all the lessons she paid for and Nadeem was not responsive regarding the make up lessons. ZERO STAR RATING!! 7 December 2018. Naquib(Nadeem) has made a concerted effort to reverse the above issue. My niece did receive all promised lessons. Communication between us improved and we trust that all clients achieve similar satisfaction.

S. M.

They are very helpful and accomodating with everything. I have awkward working hours and they made a way for me to do my lessons and test. They are good at what they do and are well iquiped with the little extras that facilitated my learning like videos and simmulator lessons and even the test booking. My intructor Duncan is attentive, respectful and proffesional and all this contributed to me passing my test. Many thanks

S. C.

I passed my license today for my first attempt. I'm extremely happy with the consistency and effort that my instructor Mogamed Fagrie Salie has put into my lessons.I would definitely recommend him to anyone.Big thanks to my instructor at Driveco.

A. A.

Thanks to Faghri I made it! He was patient and thorough and this greatly boosted my confiedence levels. In addition, he succeeded in weeding out my bad habits from driving before. I'd rate his tuition as a definite 10/10! Highly recommend this driving school!

S. S.

Started lessons with drive co after being with another school and I got excellent service here. My instructor Duncan especially went the extra mile to make sure I was ready before my test and I owe my pass to him. Thank you !!!

L. A.

I want to thank my brilliant instructor Fagrie. He has such a great temperament; was very patient which gave me more confidence and excellent in conveying instructions. I will definitely recommend Driveco and Fagrie to all my friends and family.

T. V.

They has good communication skills, They tried their level best to make sure that my child pass the first time. They are the best diving school that i've ever known

S. G.

Everyone should come here. The driving school makes you feel welcome from Samira at the desk and my instructor Ashley. I passed my test first time and appreciate the service.

K. C.

Thanks to Haniff and staff for the excelent service. I like that Drive Co offers a variety of quality material for learning drivers... I am going to share the website on my social media account for my friends and family to see. #YouthRedemption Admin/receptionist

When I chose a driving school I was seeking not only a driving school but a learning institution. I found that in DriveCo Driving Academy. I found the simulator lessons and computer lessons extremely helpul! The k53 standard was instituded at all times. Driveco definetly raised the standard. I am now a licensed driver. Thank you to Faghri and everyone at the driving school 🚗
