Island Driving School, Staten Island NY

Let me just tell you guys that I had the easiest experience getting my driving licenses. I brought the summer package, which included 5 driving classes, 5 hour class online, car for my ride test. Laura, Reggie, and Lenny were the best, they need a huge raise lol! All have a different personality but great at what they do. They helped me get over my fear of driving, also prepped me for the road test. I took and passed all within a month. Shout out to you guys, I can’t thank you enough.

I wasn't someone who had driven before so I was often nervous but Lenny was friendly and easy going which really helped with my nerves. He's also extremely knowledgeable with great tips. If you get him, you're in good hands.

Bob V was amazing! He was so thorough and was very informative. 5 hours go flying when you have a great instructor.

Thank you to all the staff at island driving school I finally pass my road test manziare is a great instructor I love her Bob v great 5 hour class teacher I really kept notes and studied I appreciate all of you helping me the first and this time with lessons and all I will definitely recommend you to others

Worst driving school. They scammed my wife, who paid them a month ago and still hasn't gotten any lessons. Malorganized, every time you call, there is an excuse. So, unprofessional service and values. What a shame!

Entertaining, informative and makes the time fly. The 5 hours feels like 30 minutes!

Make sure you read everything in the contract before signing because these people don't tell you anything. They act like they can schedule you soon but soon to them means 3 months out and once you sign they charge you and refuse to give any credits or refunds. My husband went to his road test and people were complaining that they didn't get any advisory that the site changed and they had to reschedule on their own (which is free on the dmv website) but these people charge you to make the road test appointment even though we are using our own car. Find somewhere else honestly.

Hi Neidaly Cruz,

You were the student not your husband and you purchased a package on 06/23/23. All of your driving lessons were scheduled and you were notified. Your lessons were not 3 months out so what you state is FALSE. Providing false statements is a crime and considered defamation in a court of law. Having said that, You did not show for your 1st lesson. We did not schedule any road test for you because you did not request one to be booked. The road test appointment is complimentary (FREE) In the package. We dont charge for that even though we pay employees to book them. You seem to be confused. Based on DMV records, you booked a road test on your own directly with the dmv, the dmv would be the one to notify you of any change. This is why the dmv makes it mandatory to provide an email when booking your own appointment. You also never notified us of any road test that you booked on your own. Please also note: Due to the privacy clause dmv will not inform us of any road test a student makes on their own. Therefore, This is no fault of the school.

9/22/23: REPLY TO DRIVING SCHOOL: I purchased my 3x 1 hour driving lessons on May 12th which I have an invoice for and I did not have my first lesson until September 7th which is way longer than the 3 month period. As for me not showing for my first lesson, Your office not only changed my driver the morning of, but sent him to the wrong address which im not sure how that could happen because i have written everything in the contract of services you ask me to fill out. As for my husband's road test, he did not book with you and I never said that he did. He booked elsewhere and I heard this from your other students who was at the same road test. So it seems like it is you who is providing the false statements and you also publicly used my full name without my permission.
