I used FGL for my older son and again for my 16 year old. I learned that it can save a lot of aggravation and its always good for a child to hear from another adult. While it is not cheap - its almost a wash with insurance - so it end up being a good deal. Taking the road test with FGL instead of the DMV is also a very wise option. Read Less

Waist of time. There are never any class times available and bad customer service. My daughter ended up getting her license 2 months after she was scheduled to because of the lack of classes. Do not pay for this. If I had my life to relive I would not even have my daughter do this for free. Read Less

This is an amazing driving school.  They really understand teens and all the pressure that they are under.  They are warm, flexible and understanding.  Our daughter's primary instructor, Peggy in Wilton is an an incredible instructor.  She had made herself available to all of her students and patiently addresses their questions and concerns.  My daughter faced many challenges and passed her driving test the first time.  This was no easy feat.  I would highly recommend this program do to the exceptional instruction and flexibility.

Could not have wished for a better driver's ed program for my son.  The flexibility to be able to take classes in different towns was great, as was the ability to choose where the driving lessons took place.  His primary instructor, Peggy, was really wonderful and I'm happy to say my son is a great driver and passed his test the first time.

The Darien Fresh Green Light team went out of their way with phone calls and emails to help us figure out a schedule that worked. The service was 5 star!! My son has described the driving teachers as "fun and really good teachers". It has far surpassed my expectations! Read Less

Fresh Green Light was a great driving school experience. Liked the flexible class schedule -- my son was enrolled in Wilton but took 2 classes in Westport that fit his schedule better. And the instructors were terrific, especially Peggy. She knows how to talk to 16 year olds, and taught my son more than just driving basics. Read Less

FGL was a terrific program. Starting from the day my son got his permit, we were able to map out a plan to fit all the classes into OUR schedule and make sure he completed everything on time. Further, the staff at FGL stayed on top of us to make sure we completed all paperwork and classes in ample time for the road test. My son liked all the driving instructors and he never complained about taking any of the classes--wow! I will be contacting FGL in two years when my daughter has to start up the classes. Oh, and the fact that they will pick your child up from school and bring them home, or pick them up from home or wherever for the driving lessons is SO convenient! With 3 kids to drive around all the time, it was really nice to take that off the schedule! Read Less

Fresh Green Light is an exemplary driving school, though not cheap (it's worth it).  For in car lessons (excellent teachers) your teen can be picked up or dropped off pretty much anywhere (school, home, etc).  The classroom sessions are easy to schedule and you can even have your teen take the road test at FGL. They very effectively taught  my two teens who are now safely driving about.  And, the people who work there are not only well qualified, but really nice.  (Parents, you have to do your part too though- practice, practice, practice).

Excellent class and in car instruction. Class hours very convenient, locations convenient and ability to pick up a missed class at another location made it very easy to complete in a reasonable amount of time. In car instruction was done with out my having to pick up and drop off and the instructor took my son out in all types of driving situations. Was a great experience - highly recommend. Read Less

As "boring" as my teenager said the classroom lessons were, he would spit out information during our drives that surprised me. The quality of in class and in car lessons was impressive. Yes, booking drives online could be difficult at times, but I found that if you contacted the Greenlight crew, they would bend over backwards to work with you. Numerous times we had to change something, and their attitude was always, "no problem!" My one suggestion would be for the parents to take the parent class early on in this process. VERY informative! It will help when you're teaching your child. Read Less

I agree with the earlier comment. They seem to only have two instructors and they are only available at 12:45 during the week. In fact the business on Heights Road isn't even open till late in the afternoon. For the money I felt they could have been way more helpful. Read Less

I've updated me original review to from 1 star to 3 stars. I first rated Fresh Green Light as 1-star because I felt completely misled as to how available their driving instructors were. I've upgraded to 3 stars because my daughter has now been through 10 classroom sessions and 3 driving lessons (in the car), and the quality of instruction has been excellent.Here's what happened - when I signed up for the 30+8 package, Fresh Green Light told me they weren't able to schedule driving instruction for 3 weeks. I thought that would be okay, but after I paid and could actually see the specifics online of when the lessons were available, I found that they were available only at 12:45 pm on weekdays! (These lessons are for my 16-year old who, of course, attends high school during the day.) The first lesson they had available that wasn't during school hours was more than 2.5 months in the future--and there was just one lesson available, on a day of the week that doesn't work for us! I called to complain, and their response was that they were trying to hire more instructors.  When I signed up, I was clear that the lessons were for my teenage daughter. For the lady on the phone to tell me they had lessons available in 3 weeks was disingenuous. Be careful if you deal with this company. I feel very misled by Fresh Green Light!Here's the update. My daughter has now been through more than half the classes that Fresh Green Light offers in the classroom, and those have been excellent. She's taken classes both in Darien and in Fairfield (because Fairfield has Saturday sessions and Darien doesn't). Both instructors have been top-notch.Also, I've now been able to schedule all the driving lessons (the ones in their car). Three lessons opened up in Darien (within 2 months of our signing up with Fresh Green Light). And then, we were able to schedule the other 3 lessons in Westport. The Westport lessons are inconvenient (had to cancel piano lesson in order to do it), but they were the only 3 times available, so we felt we had better take them. I've also heard that Fresh Green Light has a lot of cancellations, so if you are willing to call them every day to check for cancelled lessons, you can do better. For some reason, they have more availability when you call them than what they post online, so it's not sufficient to check online.My daughter has had 3 driving lessons (in the car) so far, and she's felt very good about the instruction.

Just as buttoned up and as professional as any organization can be.  Everything is easy and well done at Fresh Green Light.  The employees are so responsive and helpful.  I give FGL five stars without hesitation. Read Less

Our experience at Fresh Green Light could not have been better. Registration was easy, there was a great deal of flexibility with scheduling classes, the staff could not have been more professional and supportive, and the facility was top notch. Students can register to take their road test at the facility, which is centrally located in Cos Cob. Read Less
