I had an excellent experience with Coastwide Driving School and my instructor, Pete. Pete was incredibly professional and calm throughout my driving lessons, which made me feel confident and at ease behind the wheel. He gave clear instructions and helpful guidance that ultimately helped me secure my Queensland driving license. The Coastwide admin team was also fantastic—professional, responsive, and efficient in handling my calls and scheduling lessons. Their support made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Coastwide Driving School and Pete for anyone looking to learn how to drive or improve their skills! ????

It was an absolute delight to be taught by Pete and I couldn’t of had a better, more suitable instructor. Perfectly clear instructions, very calm and concise and always understanding exactly when and where I needed help. I have infinite praise and thanks for all his help and for getting me in a place where I passed my practical exam first try, I hope him all the best. :)

During my time with Pete as my driving instructor, he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. His multitude of experience and quality communication made the learning experience enjoyable. Pete was able to easily demonstrate safe driving practices through diagrams, sayings, and real world scenarios. This made it easier for me to apply these learnings to my driving. His feedback from mistakes and successes on the road was honest and non-judgmental, which helped me to progress and gain confidence with my driving. I highly recommend getting Pete as your driving instructor as he'll properly teach and equip you for driving by yourself when you get your P's. As a whole, Coastwide Driving has been a great experience. The staff are always friendly, organised, and attentive. Special thanks to Pete and the Coastwide Driving team.
