Freedom Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My driver was very nice and helpful when driving so I am a better driver now
So glad to hear and thanks for the positive feedback as we truly appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: Daughter just took their Saturday class and will be receiving her permit later this week. The class is from 7:30a-4:30p on Saturdays. Next your kiddo needs minimum 15-20hrs driving and then they can drive with an instructor. The driving is done in 3, 2 hr periods and after that, they are finished. I believe the kids need to have their permit for 1 year and then they receive their restricted license. Classes are $425 cash or $440 with a debit/credit card paid on day 1 at the beginning of class. Thank you freedom for assisting my daughter to get her permit!
Thanks for the informative and accurate review...We're more than happy to help. Let us know if we can assist at any point during the program.
Fantastic experience: My driving experience with Jennifer Mullen was amazing. She’s really sweet and an awesome instructor. I feel more confident in my driving skills now. I highly recommend Freedom Driving School Lenexa to anyone!!
Great, so glad to hear...Jennifer does a Fantastic job with our Driving Students!

Fantastic experience: When I first stated driving I was so nervous but after meeting my instructor(Justin Weir) it felt like a elephant was lifted off my shoulder.He was the nicest and coolest person ever and helped me learn a lot about driving and road service.I recommend this course for all new driver.I will always be thankful for Justin Weir and his colleagues.Wish them all the best in future endeavors

Fantastic experience: Justin is a great drivers ed instructor.He made me feel very comfortable driving with him.Great experience.Going to miss it
Thanks for the feedback and we're glad you had a positive learning experience. Justin does a great job and will appreciate your review! Thanks
Fantastic experience: Amazing teachers and flexible scheduling! They pick your kids up from your house for driving! I’m so glad we used them for our daughter and will be requesting Lori or Clayton when my next 2 kids are old enough!
Wendy, we so appreciate the positive feedback. Glad you all had a good experience. Don't forget we give a discount to repeat customers!
Fantastic experience: Rob was a great teacher and really helped to make sure we understood everything! Justin was my driving coach and really made sure we were doing everything right. Highly recommend!!
Thanks, Skyler! Glad you enjoyed the class and had a good driving experience!
Fantastic experience: I sent both my 16 year old daughter and my 15 year old son to Freedom. It was easy to schedule. I dropped them off in the morning and picked them up in the afternoon after a day-long of learning. They had already taken and passed the written portion of the test. The driving tests were scheduled with Clayton Allen. He was accommodating and easy to schedule with. My daughter has been successfully driving and my son is finishing up. They are prepared and gained a lot of confidence. I would (and have) recommended Freedom to my friends!
Thanks, Heidi! We truly appreciate the positive feedback and glad both your Students had a positive learning experience.
Negative experience: After paying them $400. Cash we had to call multiple times to get them to schedule driving times. After three months of this weekly calling he finally went on second drive along. Was told he would do last drive and sign off in two weeks. That was over 5 months ago. I’ve left messages and tried calling repeatedly with no response. Instructor was rude and I would not send my worst enemy to this place to teach a young adult how to drive. I must say your pretty quick to point out and add fist time drivers mistakes. I was never told turned into traffic probably would have worked on that if truly happened. What’s your excuse for not responding to my numerous calls to finish or for paschal refund for not holding to your contract of three driving lessons! Also I will point out he is currently top class and driving student in his schools drivers Ed. Driving up two hrs no issues, maybe it’s having someone who sees what kids need not just taking peoples money!!!
We simply can't have Students fall asleep behind the wheel and attempt to turn into opposing traffic lanes. Sometimes we have to think of what's best for the Student. In this case your Student needed extended practice and time to develop his skills and mature. By enrolling in Drivers Ed you are not guaranteed licensure and your Student was not safe on the road. Simply getting 3 drives and handing a license to an unsafe driver is something we don't do. Best of luck amd at the appropriate time he may enroll in another Driving School or attempt the DMV driving exam.
Negative experience: Unhelpful. Unresponsive.
Everything that you a.d your son need has been provided. If you would read the emails that were provided you will find all the answers to your questions. Additionally, your son has been provided all the answers to his questions both in person amd in email. Contacting us repeatedly will not speed up the program for your child individually as every Student within a class is on the same path. We also do REQUIRE 15 hours of practice prior to their 1st drive which has been repeatedly expressed. We simply cannot reply to several inquiries for each parent and Student.
Fantastic experience: My driver was Justin and he made the experience very fast and smooth I was very comfortable driving with him he stayed calm the entire time. No matter how many times he had to repeat himself he did not get frustrated. Also the actual class session was very informing and useful. I was not only taught the book, they gave us tips to use while being a new driver on the road. I will recommend other to use this program and my younger sister will be too!!
Fantastic experience: We are very very pleased with FDS! The owner was more than helpful and had to adapt his classes to be COVID compliant. My daughter said the staff was really kind and Rob went over and above when there was a rush to get the certificate due to scheduling with the DMV. My 14 YO felt very comfortable and safe being with a group of people she's never met. I highly recommend FDS!
Fantastic experience: Two of my son's went to Freedom Driving School. It put my mind at ease and I knew they would rather have an instructor train them instead of me or their dad! Last week we showed up at the DMV to pick up our son's restrictive license. After getting to the counter, we realized we didn't have the second sheet from the school. We called up Freedom and the owner HAND DELIVERED it to our home the next day. We have not had service like that in a long time. Thanks so much. It made my family's day!!
Positive experience: I just want to know one thing if i go i won't be discriminated in any type of way form or fashion?
Negative experience: Please note!!....Freedom Driving School disputed the refund and I was never credited any amount! Very unprofessional not to call us back, when all we wanted was to finish the class and be able receive a discount on our insurance. Now we are out $415 and no insurance discount. Also I'm amazed there was no comment made on feedback about the instructor being on his phone multiple times while "instructing" my daughter!! Very dangerous, as it only takes a split second to make a mistake! I highly do not recommend this company. They did not meet our needs after kindly asking for someone else to ride along with my daughter, as she did not want to ride with a stranger in a car around the city. When she was picked up, as a friendly gesture, Rob let her run into QT with a tap on the shoulder to go buy a snack. He repeatedly checked his phone as she was driving. These are few of the things I wanted to let slide, but not receiving any return calls and paying over $400 without finishing the last 2 sessions of the course, I feel people need to know about this. My daughter received more knowledge driving with me and my attention completely focused on her and not a phone. Please do not waste your money.
We regret that our set company policies and principles that have served thousands of kids across Johnson and Wyandotte Counties didn't meet your expectations. We stand behind our Instructor and find some glaring mistakes contained within your review. First, we have always and always will have one Instructor and one Student in the car for driving sessions. Second, we never have nor will we allow Students to leave our supervision during a lesson. The only exception is to use the restroom while within a store/break/stop. We realize that you paid $415 dollars for our service and we also realize you were given a full refund. We felt that your need for "special" assistance and varied requests of having your son ride along, or you, or get a refund, or to continue. That it wasn't us it was your daughter to be beyond our scope and capacity to serve. Therefore, you were given a refund after you made your request through PayPal and we hope you found proper training for your daughter to obtain a Driver's License.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful program, my child attended years ago snd they come to lansing, leavenworth for lessons
Fantastic experience: Freedom driving is amazing! Super friendly family business. They will accommodate to your needs if something comes up. My son and nephew said they were very confident and did not feel nervous at all with the instructors. So worth the money and no hassle with the DMV !!!
Fantastic experience: Rob is outstanding with teaching drivers education. My daughter learned so much in the classroom education as well as behind the wheel driving. I am confident in her driving skills now and know she is a safe driver. I highly recommend Freedom Driving School Lenexa to anyone!!
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn how to drive. Goes into good detail and helps make you feel ready to drive.
Fantastic experience: Great class, learned a lot and definitely would recommend to others
Fantastic experience: Good class showed me a lot of things I didn't know before
Fantastic experience: I think the class was very useful, and I definitely learned more watching videos and discussing rather than just reading my hand book.
Fantastic experience: Great experience specially in the classroom. The instruction given by the instructor was very thorough and understandable yet the class wasn’t boring. The PowerPoint videos were informative and entertaining. I would recommend the driving school to anybody!
Fantastic experience: Great driving school, helped me feel more confident on the road and I would encourage anyone learning how to drive to try Freedom Driving School.
Negative experience: The biggest issue i have is that they require 15+ hours of behind the wheel experience??? Ummm Hello!! Isn't that why people come to a driving school to Learn how to drive? requiring a student to have behind the wheel experience seems to make this school pointless. I am sending my child to your school so that you can SHOW her how to drive safely. i f i had a car with a brake on the passengers side i would teach her myself.
I believe we had a conversation over the phone in which we offered to break the hours down to allow your student to practice. We are given only 6 hours of behind the wheel time to get kids road ready. This results in practice prior to enrollment being recommended to ensure a positive outcome. Best of luck in finding a school that meets your needs.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely had a wonderful experience with Freedom Driving School. Our daughter, Grace, had driving instructor, Gale Swihart, and he was wonderful with her. She learned so much about the do's and don'ts. He was a Highway Patrol Officer and Police Officer for over 20+ years. He was so patient and talked to her and explained everything step by step. I highly recommend this driving school!!!
