Classes were easy to schedule and the flexibility of multiple sites made it easier to get all the classes done in a short time. Driving instructors were patient and supportive. My daughter was in an accident in the driver's ed car. The company cud not have been more supportive and accommodating to get our needs met and our daughter to get back in the car. Will recommend this company Read Less

Flexible! There are so many more requirements for kids these days to get their driver's license!! Having the flexible class schedule that FGL offers really helped my son get his license in a reasonable amount of time. I loved the fact that he mostly took classes in the Westport location but he had the option to take them in the nearby towns when our schedule didn't permit the Westport option. Also, taking the test itself through FGL instead of going to DMV is a life-saver!! Very happy with the whole experience. Kathie in Westport 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

I recommend Green Light over its competitors. Pick up and drop off locations for driving sessions is very flexible. The in class sessions are plentiful and you can simply drop in. The only down fall is that the schedule for driving gets so full you have to sign up in advance as possible. However, if the drivers test is imminent, GL does give priority to get all requirements fulfilled. Read Less

Encouraging & effective instructors; amazing flexibility for busy teenagers with rotation of classes & able to be picked up at home or other convenient location for driving lessons; incredibly helpful to be able to schedule driving test thru FGL & take test on familiar route that's been well-practiced during driving lessons.

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.

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

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.

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
