If I could give minus stars I would. Thrifty Driving school is associated with Kevin Cruz if not owned by him and he is the most rude obnoxious, dishonest, greedy person I have ever met and many like me will attest. Google his name and you will see what comes up unless he has paid someone again to remove them. Go to debtshalloffame com. You will find a company that he owes money to that is claiming that he asked them to remove all his bad reviews off the internet. Go to the Better Business School and check him out. his website is driversed com There are too many good schools don't mess with this one until they lose Kevin Cruz. Linda Hudson Read Less

I used their online class for Driver's Education, which was all right. But when we went to schedule my behind-the-wheel, the instructor showed up to my house a casual 15-30 minutes late and then proceeded to shorten my two hour appointment to a one hour because he had double booked himself. When we went to schedule the rest of the hours, they often missed our calls and never responded to our messages. We FINALLY got a hold of them after a week of trying, and the person they have answering calls has zero personality and zero people skills, for that matter. We switched to Newport Driving School for the remainder of the hours. Don't waste your time and money as we did, schedule with a different school. Read Less

Oh man I loved this place. Learned how to drive here a couple of years ago and it was really helpful. Best part is you get FREE ICE CREAM everyday before you go home haha! not to mention there was a couple of pretty fun things there like guitar hero and an air hockey table. The questions in the written review tests they give you are exactly the ones that show up in the DMV test so if you don't pass it's just because you're an idiot. When you start driving with an instructor they're pretty strict but i guess it's alright since it's gonna help you in the end anyway. This driving school's definitely the best in orange county GO HERE. Read Less

This is where I learned how to drive as a wee young lad many moons ago.I watched all of the Red Asphalt movies (the REAL reason why this review is getting 5 stars...), was entertained by the teacher who referred to himself as "Joe Cool", and taught how to not be just another dumbass out on the road.I don't remember the cost as it was a long ass time ago but I remember it was the cheapest that I could find in like...all of orange county.Highly recommended!

2 thumbs up! I met the owner and several of the instructors, and they were great! Service was amazing and speedy. The price range was very nice and the service was very high quality! Someone here made a statement about poor quality of service. I never witnessed that at all! Overall, great service, instructional quality was good, and the instructor was very polite. Calls were returned on time. Read Less

My daughter signed up with ""Thrifty Driving School"", online...cost 295.00 She passed all the units in about a weeks time, so then I called to set up the behind-the-wheel training....that's when things got strange. After numerous calls to the school (located on Katella) saying we weren't registered there, they finally figured out that we came by way of internet, and said that they hadn't been paid, but that they'd trust us! Like this was our problem somehow! Then, this very friendly guy (NOT) that always answers the phone, begrudgingly tells us to show up at 7:00 am on Saturday morning so that he can sign her off...(that meant that she could drive with us) and to call back to schedule ""behind-the-wheel"", at a later time. I called several days after that, to set it up, and was then questioned why I was calling so soon...that they recommended a lot of practice before they come out to teach them ""behind-the-wheel"" training!! HELLO!! Isn't that what they are supposed to teach??? So then, ""Ben"",calls my daughter (after 9:00 pm) speaks directly to her (with me listening in) She gives him directions to our home....then he tells her to meet him across the street at the Taco Bell...I guess the directions were too complicated. We live by Canyon High School, not a remote area. My husband is going to insist that ""Ben"" comes to the house. We'll see how the rest of our experience plays out....this may be continued....
