Drive Carmel

Negative experience: I’m not sure about the courses! But this instructor had to be the rudest guy when I was trying to park he almost hit me for one! Than told me to watch where I’m going when all I was doing was driving straight than he flipped me off when I drove off and again he almost hit me by backing up last minute! Whoever this white gentleman was need to learn some class! What a way to advertise your business or company! And to think I almost went with this company for my son but that won’t be happening now ! Aug 6th at 11:20am whoever had car 4 needs some reminder on how to act in the road! I shouldn’t have moved to the side and let him hit me because I’m sure the company has great insurance and that’s what would have happen if I didn’t avoid the wreck!

Fantastic experience: I took the stick shift driving course with Bill at Drive Carmel and could not be more satisfied. Bill explained and demonstrated the skills needed to drive manual so thoroughly that after less than 2 hours of driving, I already feel completely confident getting behind the wheel of a vehicle with manual transmission. Absolutely worth the experience, and I would recommend Bill and Drive Carmel to anyone looking to learn to drive or take their driving to the next level.

Fantastic experience: We are so grateful to Drive Carmel, especially to Bill, for his exceptional job helping my daughter learn to drive. He went above and beyond making sure she got the most out of the experience. She is in a much better place with her driving skills after her lessons. It’s clear Bill cares about teaching teen drivers proper technique and how to be safe on the road. It can sometimes be challenging to teach your own child to drive. I would not hesitate for one second to sign up for driving lessons through Drive Carmel and give yourself peace of mind.

Fantastic experience: The best driving school on the Monterey Peninsula. Bobby was our drive Instructor. Not only is he professional, my teenage son loves him. Thanks again Bobby!

Fantastic experience: At the age of 40, I got my first drivers license thanks to Bill at Drive Carmel. I went from being phobic--I cried my first lesson!--to truly loving to drive. I have since referred two adult friends to Bill, whose patience, good humor, expertise, and 80s new wave soundtrack made it possible for us to learn something we never thought we would. Truly the best.

Fantastic experience: Thanks for everything Megan great service

Fantastic experience: My daughter took behind the wheel training with Bill. We turned to Drive Carmel after having a VERY unsatisfactory experience at another driving school in the area. Bill is amazing and was very thorough in teaching my daughter. He is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your child learning to drive properly and safely. I could not have asked for a better instructor to teach my daughter. If you are looking for a driving school for your child, PLEASE take it from me....do not go anywhere else! I wasted a lot of time and money with another "driving school" that did not care about my child learning, nor about her safety. I'm forever thankful to Bill and Drive Carmel!

Fantastic experience: From what my son has shared about the program, the instruction was great. He stated he learned a great deal and was more then happy to correct his parents on issues he learned about. He said the instructors were all fun, engaging and provided current information on the topic being taught. We would highly recommend this driving school to others.

Fantastic experience: This is a great program. Excellent communication and instruction.

Fantastic experience: Chris was a fantastic instructor who was very patient and professional. My husband couldn’t believe the improvement in my driving and I was able to get my license within a couple of months. Choosing Drive Carmel really made a difference and I am extremely happy I made the choice to call them. I would recommend this company to anyone—friends, family, and business colleagues.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my first lesson with Officer Richards and it was amazing. He really took the time to keep me relaxed and comfortable while driving. It felt really good to learn from someone who isn't a friend or family member because it gives you a better insight into what to expect going into driving when you don't have to depend on people you are already familiar with. 10/10 would recommend Officer Richards.

Fantastic experience: Recommended by a friend for our 16 year old daughter. We were completely satisfied with both the classroom instruction and the on the road instruction. EXCELLENT company and staff. Well worth the money spent. Classes were local and drive instructor took her on the roads she uses every day. She not only learned the rules of the road but obtained confidence driving. Great way for both novice drivers and kids with some experience. Our daughter came home talking excited about the information she received during class!

Fantastic experience: Drive Carmel is awesome. I were very impressed with the team. We were fortunate enough to have Bill as our daughter's driving instructor and he was great. He was very thorough and always returned my emails and phone calls in a timely fashion. The process was super simple and very convenient! He would either meet her after school for her lesson or we met him at a central location. Bill was very professional, patient and an awesome teacher. He is full of valuable information and experience and a nice gentleman that my daughter felt VERY comfortable to talk with and ask questions! He never made her daughter feel nervous and kept encouraging her with good words of advice and gave her a lot of confidence. Our other daughter went through the same program, but had a different instructor who was awesome too. I can't say enough good words about the company. The school is very professional and they really care about their students and want to ensure they provide the best guidance for their driving safely. As a parent who has been through this program twice, I TOTALLY RECOMMEND them!! A++ in my book. Thank you for making my daughters safe, defenvise drivers.
