It was a sound experience. Good to be able to learn to drive defensively to keep myself and my occupants safe - rather than just learning what I might get tested on.

Tyler from Coastwide Driving School is THE best instructor I have ever had. He is professional, super patient and a really genuine human being. I passed my P’s on the first try and I truly owe it to that guy for keeping me grounded and teaching me everything I needed to pass and more. Thank you Coastwide and thanks Tyler for being one of the coolest, most down to earth people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. P.s. Give him a raise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving for the first time can obviously be a very daunting prospect for many new drivers, myself included. But my driving instructor (Sue Ottaway) was a strong enforcer of the idea of 'calm in the car,' which made my first experiences in a car much easier and less nerve-wracking. The positive reinforcement helped me to gain confidence on the road, and there was a very obvious change (for the better) in my driving before I started lessons and after even my first one.
Five stars! :)

I would highly recommend Coastwide Driving School.
My daughter had 10 lessons including the free "Keys 2 Drive" over a year ago. More recently, in the lead up to her test, I arranged for the 4 hr test package. Driving instructor, Urmila Karan, was fantastic at ensuring Bella was well prepared for her test. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Urmila couldn't be there on the test day but Coastwide quickly arranged for Penny Mills to cover (thank you for coming in on your day off Penny!) Bella successfully obtained her licence, first attempt, last Monday. Yippee! Both Urmila & Penny were friendly, professional, encouraging & supportive.
The online booking process at Coastwide is very easy. Communication is excellent, phone staff are friendly & go out of their way to help, (thank you Marilyn). SMS & email notifications provide timely reminders of lessons.
I have 3 more children who will need to learn to drive so you'll be seeing more of us in the future Coastwide!
Thank you very much for the great service you provide.
