BAD EXPERIENCE. I purchased a package at Drivecodriving school a few MONTHS back because of the good reviews and the packages I thought were reasonably priced.
I have been getting a few lessons and thus far, I feel far from ready for the driving test.
My instructor is somewhat unprofessional. He is always on his phone, he never remembers what we were busy with on the last lesson or what my progress is, he does not really pay attention to what I am doing until I have "tried" it ie such as parking. After he instructed me to do a parking and if I didnt do it right, he'll be like "okay...where did you go wrong? Maybe its this or that..." he doesnt know for sure because he doesnt really pay attention while im actually making the parking because his too busy on his phone. I have spoken to the owner before if it would be possible to get an other instructor. All he said was he will look into the matter and yet, I still got the very same driving instructor. When it comes to scheduling the lessons, there is always a problem. Either he cant make it on the day of or time that he scheduled cause someone else came up, or he is always involved in a car accident of some kind. I have had to change cars twice now. Most days his never even on time. I have gone two weeks without even one lesson. Even though I am not using my real name for anonymouty, I am a real customer.
I feel at this rate it will take forever to be ready for my driving test.

I am so impressed with the service I received from this driving school. My instructor was professional, had great integrity and most importantly patience. The experience was of utmost quality and I enjoyed my lessons as I was in charge of the wheel 😊. Naguib provided his service in a very innovative way which made it so much easier for me to adapt to as I was an old driver with old habits. I was very nervous at first as I come from a few bad experiences with driving schools but he made it so easy. Following the steps that he provided in a sequential order gave me so much confidence which added to my first time pass with him. Thank you so much Naguib I will surely recommend you to everybody who is serious about passing. You were my cool when I was sweating 🤣

Managed to pass my drivers test on the first time with Naguib as my instructor. All the instructors, I had through this company were patient, interested and very helpful. It is very clear that they know how the test will be conducted and teach you accordingly. The additional videos they give you are also very helpful. Overall, I had a very positive experience with this driving school.

It is not everyday someone needs a driving school, but when you do how do you rate your options to make an informed decision. I was under this predicament and searched a lot for different driving schools around Cape Town, finally I contacted a few but Drive Co stuck with me because of their innovation and efficiency. they carried me from the learners phase all the way to getting my licence in a very professional manner. the instructors are very patient in discovering your level, and challenge you gradually to learn how to drive paying close attention to KF3 guidelines. I would recommend anyone to test drive Drive Co. 3 words INNOVATIVE, EFFICIENT, RELIABLE. Its the people that helped me when I needed my licence quick.

Thanks to Haashim, I passed my drivers license with 5 hours of practice lessons. I greatly recommend this driving school, as my instructor was excellent and their service was great.

Drive National is brilliant. I literally had 3 days to do my drivers test as there were no dates that were close enough that did not clash with test and exams. In 3 days Haashim took me on 5 lessons, gave me confidence, had patience, and put things in its simplest form of understanding. Not only him, but, Imtiyaaz whom I originally called and asked for advice and bookings was brilliant with his liaising. From tuesday till this morning Haashim got the job done. Thanks so much to Drive National Co. Officially legal on the road!

I haven't been behind the wheel before I took lessons and once I got behind the wheel with my Drive Co instructor Fagrie, he made it quite comfortable for me. An effective teaching experience that will benefit me for the rest of my life, without feeling pressurized or scared of messing up, the instructor helped me along the way and had a lot of patience. A first time pass would not have been possible without the help of Drive Co Driving Academy!!! 💯

Hi. I started lessons with driveco and got efficient and professional service compared to my previous driving school. I was very impressed. They were helpful and willing to assist with whatever I needed even if I contacted them on short notice. They took me for my test booking and got me a test date before my learners expired. With the excellent help from my instructor Shane i passed . I would highly recommend them.

Absolutely worst driving school out there. The drivers won't come on time, or will be drunk and shabby. They have no idea how to teach driving.
Even though the owner charged me extra for an hour to drive to the test, he didn't let me drive the car because according to his employee, the car is a rental (therefore illegal) and he cant let students drive it.
The owner is an idiot who likes to rip people off. I was chatting to him and he showed me some of the angry reviews on Google and laughed it off. Absolutely ridiculous school. Stay away!

My experience with DriveCo was good, the instructors I dealt with were professional. Mikhail the last instructor who took me through till my test, is an amazing instructor he knows how to simplify things so as a beginner you can understand. His sense of humour kept me at ease and enabled an environment conducive to absorbing what he was teaching. However, personally i did not appreciate going through so many instructors. Of course there was a good reason for each change, but i strongly believe that stability in the process of learning is important. Each person had their own methods of teaching which made it difficult for me to keep up although it's indisputable they were teaching the same thing. I would recommend that next time each learner is allocated an instructor, that instructor be the one to do lessons till the end unless the instructor leaves the driving school.
