Negative experience: every,ore is nice BUT AFTER A DATE TO HAVE MY DRIVER TEST, I was told YOu don'T help that you only deal with new drivers !you owe me.back 2 times 87.50 !!
Hi Laurie,
We absolutely offer lesson services to students with all experience levels, not specific to only new drivers. We were able to refund you for your unused lesson time after our support team spoke with you and determined we weren't able to accommodate your needs. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly with any further concerns.
Fantastic experience: The best driving School, we can choose and trust them I recommend All, my friends and my Neighborhoods .
We appreciate your review, Sa!
Fantastic experience: Their customer service is excellent , I had session with instructor Jason , and he was very professional and respectful. I have two more driving session and one test left. The car used for training was clean and in good condition. I am grateful for their amazing team.
That is fantastic Amir!
Thank you for sharing your excellent experience with Coastline so far!
Fantastic experience: Great instructor
Thanks, Ernesto for your 5-star review!
Positive experience: The instructor of my daughter (Dec 27, 30, Jan 3 - 95673) was nice and prompt. He, however needs some DMV regulation updates and more training. He suggested my daughter to walk-in for a “behind-the-wheel” test so if she fails, she can still do a repeat on her set appointment date (14 days later). My poor girl woke up very early to line up 2 hrs before DMV opens. DMV California does not accommodate walk-ins for behind the wheel test. Also, my daughter was stuck hardshell on the thought that you shouldn’t move past the line, at the intersection (turning right). Yes you stop before the line, but you must eventually move slowly forward to check on upcoming traffic before you make a safe right turn. She keeps saying “ my instructor said”. Finally, we have to tell her “google it” for her to change her mind. Please have your young instructor get more instructions so he can become better and more trustworthy DMV instructor especially for teens. Thank you.
Hi Juvie,
We appreciate you sharing your experience. We can certainly look into the information the instructor provided to your daughter and address any concerns. Intersection expectations do vary in California depending on the location; some may require a complete stop, others a yield to traffic. If the instructor wasn't clear on this or misinformed your daughter, we will ensure this is addressed. If you have any additional information to add, please feel free to reach out to us by text 7 days a week at 1-800-489-1896 or email at [email protected].
Fantastic experience: My instructor was very patient, I had no idea of driving when we started, but I was confident after my first session, looking forward for my next session and hopefull will pass my license sooner
That is fantastic Jesson! It is amazing to hear your confidence was boosted after your lesson and we appreciate your 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: I recently had my first two-hour driving lesson with this driving school, and I can not be more impressed. Jim was the instructor, and he made me feel very comfortable at driving as a beginner. From the start, he was incredibly compassionate and patient. His guidance was clear and supportive, and he made sure to give me helpful tips throughout the session. I appreciated how Jim took the time to explain things step by step, giving me the confidence I needed as a beginner. Overall, my lesson was amazing, and I feel as confident as I can be when I drive. I highly recommend using Coastline to anybody who is looking for a 5 star driving lesson if you are in need of the two hour course. Jim is the most reccomended instructor that I can trust when I have a lesson.
Wow, thank you Jacob!
We are so glad your first experience was such a great one and we appreciate you taking time to share your experience with us. If you need any assistance in boking with instructor Jim in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our support team is happy to help!

If your curious..I’m now 19 n after 2 days of practice driving with Coastline I feel very confident and more knowledgeable on how to be a safe driver on the road. Thank you, coastline
That is wonderful, Michael!
We are so glad you feel more confident behind the wheel, and it is always our pleasure to help. Thank you for your 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: I hired Coastline for behind-the-wheel training for my son. I really liked their punctuality, respect, kindness, knowledge and expertise. After each session they sent me detailed reports and at the end of everything they sent me a final report that summarized it all. I saw them taking my son and bringing him back every time and they would ask me if I had any questions or concerns that needed to be addressed. Super professionals in their work!
Thank you, Clara!
We know you had a choice when it came to choosing a driving school for your son and we are so glad you put your trust in us! It is always great to hear that not only our students have a great experience with Coastline, but parents do as well. Thank you for your kind words and 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: Very responsible instructors who give accurate feedback and corrections of bad driving habits. Reports are posted online where I can indefinitely review. Recommended for those who don't have a reliable coach.
Thank you, UC, for your recommendations and 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Josh. M. is an excellent instructor. He explained me very well. He was polite, friendly, respectful and kind. I had really good experience with my first driving lesson. Thank You so much!
Maksim, thank you for your 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: It’s early in the process, but our sons first behind the wheel lesson went perfectly. I think this is an excellent driving school. This first lesson step came after the on line course several months ago to get the permit and that all went well. The instructor Jason C is excellent; he was very attentive to our son’s learning style and nervousness.
Hi Marc,
That is great to hear. We are so glad that the process has been smooth so far and that both you and your son are enjoying the time coastline. Thank you for 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: My daughter had her 1st lesson with Melissa. She was fantastic and made her feel very comfortable and confident in her driving lesson. The detailed driving report was great
Hi Shannon, thank you for sharing your experience! We appreciate you taking time to leave us a 5-star review.
Positive experience: good
Thank you for your review!
Positive experience: Friendly and experienced driving instructors
Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: This is our 4th student driver and I will say our BEST experience with driving lessons. Easy to book, every detail explained well, professional and my son came home confident and excited about driving because of his instructor!
Wow! Thank you, Ellen, for trusting Coastline with not one, but four of your student drivers! It is very rewarding to hear that not only a student has a positive experience, but their family does as well. Thank you for taking time to share your 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: I would give this a 6 star if possible. The driving experience was excellent. My driving instructor (Yuri) was an excellent sport. He taught me lots of new things. Yuri’s attitude was great, and fun to talk to. He did not make a big deal if I made a mistake, just corrected me and we kept going. I would recommend Coastline Academy to anyone. They are definitely worth the money. Looking forward to book more driving sessions in the future.
Thank you, Max for your kind words and 5-star review. We appreciate your recommendations and also look forward to assisting you book additional lessons in the future.
Negative experience: This company makes you pay and schedules an appointment for your requested time and date knowing that they are unavailable that day. Please do not trust their booking process when you pay. Expect it to be a month out.
Hi, James. I'm so sorry we canceled the lesson with little notice. Our instructor was sick that day, and we don't want to put anyone at risk because we take safety seriously. I understand how frustrating it can be to get everything scheduled and have things not go as planned.
We have over a dozen lessons available this week in your area, and we'd love another opportunity to fix this for you.
Fantastic experience: Erik E. was wonderful! Patient, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend Erik E. and Coastline Academy!!
Thank you for your kind words, Desirre! We are so glad you enjoyed your lesson with Erik and appreciate your recommendations to Coastline.
Fantastic experience: I took driving lessons in the Folsom/Rancho Cordova area and my instructor was Josh M. Today I passed the behind the wheel test and got the license. All thanks to the Coastline Academy. I think Josh is a great instructor. He is very patient, helpful, experienced and prepares you well for behind the wheel test. The overall working of the coastline academy i.e. from booking of driving lessons, the sessions and feedback after each lesson- everything is very streamlined and smooth. Highly Recommended!

Hi Sassy, thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: I had two lessons with Yuri K., and he is excellent at adapting to your learning style, as I had dealt with driving anxiety in the past. He explains things thoroughly and will take the time to work with you on anything you are struggling with. He is a very encouraging instructor, and I feel he gave me driving tips I’ll use forever. After putting those tips towards my practice, I have gained my license today!! Thank you
Hi Stacy!
Thanks for your review and kind words regarding one of our instructors. We're pleased to hear that you got your license!
Fantastic experience: My son had a 2 hour lesson with instructor Yury serving Folsom location. He was very excited and pleased with the lesson and driving experience he received. EVen though we used Yury's service for 2 hours to sign off on driving permit, however, his lesson was very useful for my son. He is experienced, professional and very friendly instructor. Would definitely recommend his services! Thank you, Yury!
Thank you, Kristina, for your 5-star review. We are so happy both you and your son had a pleasant experience with coastline and instructor Yury.

Tonya, thank you for your 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: My son had a few sessions with Coastline. The instructors were great. Shout out to Josh! He really helped with my son's confidence. Professional yet easy going, kind and extremely patient.
Hi Sevyn,
Thanks so much for your 5 star review and feedback. We're delighted to hear your son enjoyed his lessons!
Fantastic experience: I hired Coastline Academy so my daughter could take driving lessons while she was at UC Davis, since her progress toward a license was derailed by the pandemic. Personally I loved the ease of their online appt scheduling, payment and bios on the teachers. So convenient to have access 24/7 with no need to call someone during business hours. I also liked the online report cards so I could view her progress. My daughter liked the instructors who picked her up at her dorm and were friendly and patient. We did a few extra lessons from home in So Cal since the traffic/freeways here are unlike Davis, but she easily passed her driving test at our local DMV thanks to Coastline!
Hello Dawn,
We're so glad to hear you enjoyed all the features that make our booking software easy to use. Pass along our congratulations to your daughter!
Fantastic experience: Very useful in helping my daughter gain confidence and she passed her driving test on the first try!
Hi, Desiree We're so happy to hear from you and to know she's more confident now! Thank you for choosing Coastline Academy.
Fantastic experience: My son's instructor Yuri came highly recommended, and he didn't disappoint. Knowledgeable, courteous, and professional, he made my son's first lesson as educational as it was enjoyable. I recommend Coastline Academy for all new drivers.

Positive experience: I called Coastline Academy to get confidence in driving again. I suffered a stroke in September if 2021 and I didn’t want to begin driving until I was confident that I could drive well. Coastline Academy was the perfect company for me to use. It took about two hours, driving local streets. I would recommend Coastline Acadamy.
Thank you, Robert, for your recommendation! We hope you continue to grow your confidence and be a safe driver for life.

Kai, thank you for your -star review.
Fantastic experience: Enrolling our daughter at Coastline Academy was the best decision we made. She was able to gain confidence driving and made it first try with the behind the wheel test. Anna was really great!! She was able to guide our daughter and prepare her for her driving test. She told our daughter what she really needed to work on. Having Anna bring her to the DMV on the day of and practice her an hour before helped a lot!!
Mildred we are delighted to hear that both you and your daughter have a great experience with Coastline and instructor Anna! Thank you for your 5-star review

Fantastic experience: great instructors!
Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: I took three lessons, and they went well. The instructor was clear in their directions, and let me learn all the skills I needed. I took my first two lessons close together, then practice driving on my own time. I rescheduled my third lesson to just before my driving test on their recommendation, and passed my driving test the first time without any issue.
That is great news you were able to pass your road test on the first try! Thank you for putting your trust in us and for taking time to provide a 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: Very easy to schedule appointments for my son. Felt confident that he was in good hands. In a short time got his license at first try.

Fantastic experience: Had Takin the 2hour class after failing twice then a week later passed my behind the wheel test
Great news Daniel! thank you taking time to provide your 5-star review!
Negative experience: Awful driving school. Booked 7 lessons. They showed up for 3 canceled 2 15 minutes before one and 25 mins after the other. Requested a refund for the remaining 4 lessons. Shame the lost out in future bookings also.
Hello Diane,
On behalf of Coastline Academy, I’d like to apologize for the experience you had over the course of your student’s instruction. We agree that multiple last-minute cancellations are not an acceptable customer experience, regardless of the circumstances that caused them.
As one of the nation’s largest driving schools, we pride ourselves on our world class customer service and stand by the quality of our instruction. The experience you’ve had is not representative of the product we offer and we deeply regret that we failed to deliver the high standard our students have come to expect from us.
While we’re sorry to see you go, please do not hesitate to contact us if there’s anything else we can do for you. You can reach our customer service team 7 days a week, from 8a-8p PDT, by calling 1 (800) 489-1896.
Fantastic experience: I bought a 6-hr package from DriversEd.com in Feb. 2021 and picked Coastline Academy as the company to provide the lessons to my nephew. A week before his first lesson he suffered a devastating leg injury and had to learn to walk again before we could focus on driving. My nephew since moved away and 8 months later Coastline Academy was more than willing to provide me a full refund for what I paid for the lessons that he never ended up being able to use. I didn’t expect it because it had been so long since I purchased the courses but they made it so easy. Thank you for not making me have to pull my hair out to just have the right thing done! Very professional company. If I need anything like this in the future, I’ll be going to them.
Dana, thank you for taking time to provide feedback regarding your experience with Coastline. We strive for customer satisfaction in whatever form that may be for each student. We hope your nephew is doing well today and we are always happy to help in any way we can!
