The Ultimate Driving School

The Ultimate Driving School is dedicated to teaching your loved ones how to drive safely and non aggressively! The Ultimate Driving School offers the permit test, drivers test, and the Upstate's Most Interactive classroom session. Classes fill up fast so sign up today. www.ultimatedrivingschoolsc.com

In order to sign up for an upcoming class, please text a picture of the perspectives students permit to 864-554-1071. Please indicate which class you would like to sign up for in your text.  I will respond back with a confirmation text once I receive it.    

I offer face to face classes as well as virtual classes done the same day. The virtual classes are live streamed using zoom and class codes are sent the Friday before class.  The face to face class is more interactive where we discuss car maintenance and how to change a tire.  We have several activities where students can do everyday things using intoxication goggles and they will have the opportunity to drive a golf cart through an obstacle course while wearing the goggles.  These classes are limited and will meet in Easley at 2515 Old Pendleton Road, Easley.  Lunch and snacks will be provided.  Cost is $400  

This does not meet the requirement for Alive at 25.  Alive at 25 is a separate course that allows students to park at schools across the state. Drivers Education allows students to get their restricted license/full license and gives them a discount on their insurance.   

Drivers Ed is $400 for face to face classes and virtual classes.  These prices include the 8 hour class, lunch/snacks the day of class(face to face students only), 6 hours of behind the wheel training with pick up and drop off, as well as the drivers test.  There are no hidden fees.  At the conclusion of class your loved one will receive a certificate that will get them a discount at most major insurance companies.

I try to get students completed as soon as possible once they sign up.  I will get your son and daughter done as soon as possible with the quality education and service that you expect and deserve.  In addition, if your son or daughter is experiencing flu like symptoms and they are scheduled to drive, please call or text to reschedule.  A $60 cancellation fee will result if you fail to cancel an appointment within 3 hours of the lesson. Thank you for understanding and I look forward to working with your son or daughter in the coming months. 

There will be a limited number of fast track options available for each class. A student will be guaranteed that all driving hours will be completed within 1 week of the class. Please note: We can't guarantee they will pass their drivers test with either the fast track option or spreading the hours out over several weeks/months. With this option, we will guarantee that all required hours will be finished within one week of the class. Additional cost is $50. Very limited fast track passes available for each class.  ​​

I have been teaching driver's education for 24 years and have 26 years experience teaching and coaching in SC Public Schools.  After spending two years as the Athletic Director at Liberty High School, I decided to start teaching driver's education full time at the conclusion of the 2016 school year. I had always wanted to start my own driver's education company and I seized the opportunity following the 2016 school year.  The Ultimate Driving School officially opened its doors in November of 2016.
