Fantastic experience: Traci and Kate were very welcoming and helped us through the initial stages of the driver license process. We look forward to working with them on the next steps until my son finishes with his driver license. Thank you, Traci and Kate.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at this DriveSafe location! I did an hour long lesson before taking my test with Zach, who was a great instructor. The lesson was very helpful for me to understand what I needed to work on and helped me feel better going into the test. Zach made me feel comfortable during the lesson and gave me great advice on overall safety, checking the rear view and side mirrors, and staying focused while driving. It was an overall enjoyable experience with an amazing instructor!!

Fantastic experience: Top class driving school!!! Jack is an outstanding instructor!!! After moving from overseas recently to Colorado, I thought that I could use a quick refresher before taking the driving test which turn out to be a best idea. Jack was able to explain so clearly some of the confusing rules in the DMV handbook and so focused on safe driving. Highly recommend DriveSafe Aurora.

Negative experience: They'll fail you on purpose so you have to pay for a retest. They also don't actually show evidence for what they failed you on, they just eat your $100 and that's that.

DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora
DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora

Dear Hornextzlol, we understand that not passing a test can be frustrating, and we want to assure you that our testers follow strict standards set by the state of Colorado. Our certified drive testers evaluate over 100 items that measure a driver’s skills and knowledge of safe and legal driving practices. These standards are designed to help drivers recognize areas for improvement to promote safety on the road, and are not designed for schools to capitalize on students. Please know we are happy to provide feedback on areas that need work after the test, as that should have been done already. Please reach out to us at [email protected] with the subject line: [Full name and "DT Feedback"] We’ll gladly provide the details to help you correct on your next attempt. For further preparation, we recommend reviewing the Colorado Driver's Handbook, which outlines the specific skills required to pass the license test. You can find the guide here: https://dmv.colorado.gov/sites/dmv/files/documents/DR2337_English2024.pdf Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you

Thank you for your feedback, Evan. We understand your frustration, but the requirements to renew your wife's license is a state policy, which we must follow, and is unfortunately out of our control. We do apologize, however, for the way the situation was handled by our staff. This is not reflective of the customer service we strive to provide, and we’ve addressed the matter internally. We appreciate your past business and intend to provide a better experience in the future. We wish you both a lifetime of safe driving!

Fantastic experience: I went to the location in Southeast Aurora Steve S. who was my daughter’s driving instructor was AMAZING!!! He handled my daughter’s drive with not only professionalism but with some care To further that we went inside and spoke to Traci and Jason who were also AMAZING!!!! They got us on schedule and did it with the same professionalism and care It’s so nice to have a school in place like this and in multiple areas so that it’s convenient for everyone I know that my mind is assured with Drive Safe from the start of classes to seeing my teen officially get her license!!!!

S Wright 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I enrolled my daughter with DriveSafe, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Larry B. was highly skilled, incredibly patient, and encouraging. He created a welcoming and supportive environment that helped boost my daughter’s confidence behind the wheel. The staff was equally great to work with. Communication was excellent and the manager, Traci, was helpful in selecting the courses to best meet my daughter’s needs. Thanks to this fantastic driving school, my daughter passed her driving test on the first attempt! I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for quality driving education for their child. It was a truly positive experience that has set her up for a lifetime of safe driving.

Alix Becker 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school. They provide top quality safety oriented instruction. I've taken driving lessons in a couple of other places and Drive Safe was definitely the best. I learned a lot in 2hrs and feel much more confident behind the wheel. Thank you, Estela for a great lesson!

L S 1 year ago

Negative experience: i highly DO NOT recommend doing a driving test with this organization. They send you down a school zone trap to have you automatically fail with the goal to have you spend more money for another driving test.

DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora
DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora

Thank you for sharing your feedback. To clarify, the license test standards and the test route are set forth by the state of Colorado, and our drive testers are certified by the state to observe and report on those standards. DriveSafe does not design the test rules, nor do we decide the test route. The license test evaluates over 100 items that measure a driver’s skill and knowledge of legal and safe driving practices, which even seasoned or skilled drivers can overlook. Additionally, throughout Colorado, many drivers will encounter diverse intersections, signage, speed zones, and regulations in their lifetime. As a driving school, we encourage and provide professional driving instruction, not solely for the purpose of obtaining a license, but to increase students' exposure to the ever-evolving complexities of the road that will prepare them to become safe and confident drivers for life. We recognize that no one likes to fail, but the state has designed the test to help students understand how to drive more safely. It is, therefore, often the case that the individual passes on the second try after learning what issues led to the failure on the first try. Our interest is aligned with students passing, but even more so, with everyone's safety on the road. We encourage you to review the Colorado Driver Handbook on laws and regulations, and on pages 11-12, you’ll find more information about common reduced speed zones: https://dmv.colorado.gov/sites/dmv/files/documents/DR_2337.pdf. Best of luck in reaching your goals, and we wish you a lifetime of safe driving! Thanks, DriveSafe Team

If you’re still nervous about taking your drivers road test, I would recommend booking the 2 hr behind the wheel service. DriveSafe offer great motivation & support. Not only that, you can use their vehicle to take your drivers test. I had an amazing experience with this company. My instructor was the best as well ;)

Daniel Brush 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I don’t normally do reviews…I tend to expect a level of service commensurate with what I pay for. I felt that I needed to publish a shout-out to DriveSafe. I am an Army Civilian stationed in Italy and am back in Colorado taking care of some family issues. While I was back in the U.S. I wanted to get my 18 year-old a driver’s license. It is something that is exceptionally difficult to do in foreign countries. I contacted DriveSafe when I arrived on the U.S. and explained my situation (i.e., a limited time and a desire to get my son a DL). Lisa and the DriveSafe team in Aurora understood my situation and ensured that my son got the drive time required and provided great guidance and instruction. My son was able to get both his permit and his license in a matter of a few weeks. I am extremely pleased that I contacted DriveSafe first. I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude for all of their assistance. The school, the instructors and the staff are top notch. If you want an amazing DL experience, I highly recommend DriveSafe. Dr. Dan Brush

So thank you, Jennifer!

Hi Alvaro, thank you for your feedback.

Natalie Payant 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I wanted to thank the staff at the SE Aurora location for their incredible customer service today. While my daughters did not take their driving courses at this location, the receptionist picked up my call today and could not have been more helpful. My husband and daughter were at the DMV with her receipts of completion of the driver's ed course and permit test, but the assistant manager said her exams were not in the system and refused to scan the barcode instead of manually entering the registration code. Kaitlyn, her manager, and the compliance manager for Drive Safe sat with me on the phone for 45 minutes only to find out that the DMV representative had not clicked on the "exam" tab to see that they were in fact in my daughter's file. I cannot explain how much I appreciated them being willing to help in any way they could to make certain we figured things out without my husband having to take more time off work or my daughter missing more school to return. I can confidently refer anyone needing the driving courses to Drive Safe and am grateful for their kindness today.

Zaro Akbar 1 year ago

Negative experience: Please don’t trust drive safe school, the south east smoky hill location, I have very bad experience, I went to take driving class and I pass and didn’t provide me with proper test documents as a result I have to pay $115 again.

DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora
DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora

Hi Zaro, thank you for sharing your feedback. It appears that you passed your driver’s license test on February 8th, 2023. As per state regulations, driving test results are only valid for six months. If a driver does not obtain their license from the DMV within this timeframe, they are required to retest. We acknowledge the frustration of having to retest and incur charges. However, we always strive to communicate this state requirement to our students to ensure they obtain their license promptly and avoid this issue. We understand the inconvenience this situation may have caused. We wish you the best in achieving your driving goals. Thanks ~DriveSafe Team

Kenneth McNamara 1 year ago

Negative experience: Worst experience I've had with a drivers training course.. Incompetence reigns supreme at this (Aurora) location. I have had 4 kids go through this course for permit at this location, and they have never needed a picture ID. Now rescheduling permit test for the third time because the people there didn't inform us of what we needed to take the test. Then, they promptly kicked my 14 year old son out because he didn't have a pic ID? what 14 year old has a Pic ID? Ridiculous! And all for cool price of 650$. Absurd!

DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora
DriveSafe Driving Schools - SE Aurora

Hi Kenneth, thank you for sharing your concerns. We value your repeated business and apologize for the frustrations and miscommunication that has caused an inconvenience to you and your son. We’ve rescheduled your son for class 8 on 01/28. Our team sends out reminder emails a few days ahead of classes, and we’ve confirmed that your son’s email address is accurate, so he should have received the necessary requirements for attending class in advance. In terms of ID requirements, the State now requires that we do an identity verification check for both class eligibility purposes and so that we know it is the student taking the exam for themselves and not someone else taking it for them. We can accept anything with a name and a picture for identification such as: Passport, School ID picture, Infinite Campus or school portal with a student picture, Ski pass, or Recreation Center pass. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Thanks ~DriveSafe Team

Paige Conyers 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you're struggling with a drive test, we recommend going here and getting the one hour drive time just before taking the test. My son was assigned Zach as his instructor, and learned a lot through taking the pretest lesson. Zach was encouraging and knowledgeable, made my son feel really comfortable behind the wheel. DriveSafe offers their own cars for testing, and in the Talyn's Reach area, the roads were spacious and not too crowded. We highly recommend THIS particular location and we suggest you ask for Zach, especially for a new driver who's maybe a bit nervous about testing.

Negative experience: Southeast Aurora. This office has called me 3 times to cancel my sons appointment for the drive test. When I try to reach the office and get transfered no one answers the phone. I am only able to speak with an operator. They don't put any notes into the appointment so the operators have no idea why the appointment is canceled 2 hours prior to the scheduled time.

Hi Karina, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand and apologize for your frustrations in the scheduling process. Occasionally, our instructors have to cancel due to sickness or emergencies, and as much as we wish we could proactively plan for this, last-minute cancellations due to these reasons are unpredictable. We are glad to have you rescheduled, and we’ll do our absolute best to prevent any more inconveniences. Thanks for bearing with the circumstances, and we appreciate your patience. We wish you the best. ~DriveSafe Team

Negative experience: EXTREMELY POOR scheduling!!! @SE Aurora. Do not waist your time or money on instructor driving time! They NEVER answer the phone OR call back!! I had to go up there MULTIPLE times personally to actually purchase the package and to schedule instructor drive times because you can't get anyone on the phone. At which EVERY SINGLE ONE of our appts were CANCELED the DAY BEFORE OR DAY OF!!!!!! 5 times in a row now we've been cancelled. Very frustrating is an understatement. Waste of our time and resources, for the cost we paid! There is no communication to the parent. And the "parent portal" doesn't work. What a joke! I always get the same excuse about "systems" not working. I WISH there was another option because I would never EVER go back there. I will not be using them for our other kid and would never recommend them!!! Update: 4/11/23 today I was told by the receptionist that instructors do not have authority to tell us anything when I communicated what we were told after having another appt "not on the books" when we showed up. I have all the email and text confirmations. However the receptionist asked them not to bump any more of our appts when instructors are not available. She said that being cancelled that often was an average amount of times to be cancelled. Just wow! Update 4/12/23: NO CALL, NO NOTIFICATION, SHOWED UP FOR A 6PM APPT AND GUESS WHAT....WE WERE CANCELLED!!! Some random lady there offered us her spot who just scheduled hers a couple days ago when we have been scheduled for weeks. THANK YOU! I CANNOT believe this!!!! The absolute worst!!!!! They admitted to seeing the notes on the schedule not to "bump" any more appointments and canceled them anyways without notification!! I am in absolute shock! How does this place stay in business?!?!?!?!!!!

Nareman Mkh 2 years ago

Negative experience: I had a BAD experience with this school, i took a 6h classes with them and asked them to focus about the test rules to be prepared. Then no one of the instructor told me about interaction mirrors rules!!!! Later I booked for the test and failed JUST because of this mistake and overall was so good!!!! So the same school didn’t alert me about this mistake and make me fail because of this!!!!!! Really I was so shocked:/ SOOO BAD EXPERIENCE!!

Hi Nareman, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry you felt ill informed. We can, however, assure you the test rules that are set forth by the State of Colorado are included in our curriculum and taught by our instructors. Our testers are certified by the state to observe and report to the test standards that are set forth by the state. We recognize that no one likes to fail, but the state has designed the test to help students understand how to drive more safely. It's often the case that the individual passes on the second try after learning what issues led to the failure on the first try. Our interest is aligned with students passing but, even more so, with everyone's safety on the road. We wish you the best of luck! ~DriveSafe Team

Fantastic experience: My third child is about to complete the DriveSafe program. All three kids had a great experience doing this program. It is wonderful to have this resource to help your kids be road ready. With this third round Thomas has been just awesome instructing my daughter on her three drives. She wasn’t super confident starting out but he gave her that confidence and has been absolutely wonderful to interact with. The progress she made working with him is incredible. He is friendly, kind, and knowledgable. All that is left is her driving test and it is very helpful and comforting to be able to have her test with DriveSafe instead of the DMV.

Ric Toffin 2 years ago

Negative experience: 0 out of 10. Condescending and unsafe instructions from this lady instructorwho neglected to give her name. Not paying attention yet saying the student was making illegal stops. The lady instructor was absolutely unprofessional and lying just to push us to come back and pay more.

Hi Ric, thanks for sharing your feedback and we’re sorry you had an unpleasant experience with our instructor. We have relayed your comment to our Aurora location and apologize for the negative demeanor. Our drive testers are trained and certified by the state to observe and report to the standards set forth by the state. The test standards are set so drivers abide by safe and lawful practices, and our drive testers cannot pass a student if they do not abide by those standards. If you have more drives scheduled with us, we can arrange to have another instructor, otherwise, we understand if you’re exploring other options. We wish you the best.
