Hello my name is Erick, I completed my driver's education course at Bay Area Driving School, and it was a fantastic experience. The program was very informative, the instructors were professional and patient. I learned a lot about traffic rules and feel much more prepared to be on the road. I highly recommend Bay Area Driving School for those looking for a quality driver's education program. Best of luck with your drivers course!

I had an excellent experience at the "Bay Area Driving School" (Traffic School). Before I even took the course (on-line), I had called them several times and they were so kind and helpful with all my questions. After taking the course, I truly feel like I am a more conscientious driver. I am 71 years old and the last time I studied the driving laws to this extent, I was 17 years old. It's been a "win-win" experience. I definitely recommend Bay Area Driving School ~ By the way, I had checked out 4 other schools but I chose this one because of their great customer service!
Thank you Erica for helping me to complete the process!

No one ever wants to get a ticket but if you happen to unfortunately do so… please go to Bay Area Traffic School! I had the pleasure of being supported by the wonderful Erica with each step! Thanks to her unconditional care and support I completed everything in one day! Lastly, she was still there to congratulate me when I passed my test and let me know that everything would be completed on their end so I did not have to worry about anything else! Erica, thank you for your kindness and amazing support! You truly made my day and experience seamless! Not enough words to express my gratitude!! 🫶🏽

Very cool instructor (John) and very helpful and clam when driving. Being picked up from my house and driving around Oakland made me more comfortable with being on the road and more comfortable around other cars. Angel helped me make my appointment for the driving lesson and it was easy , breezy, and beautiful, 100/10 service!!!!

Bay Area Driving School is the go to place for your new teen driver. Jason was above and beyond FANTASTIC with my teen - Jason's upbeat positive and fun personality kept my teen at ease while learning to drive. As a parent I really appreciated Jason's detailed feedback after each lesson.

My twin sons took lessons from Bay Area Driving School and passed their license test the first time. They learned defensive driving and did some practice runs near the test site. Instructor was patient and knowledgeable. Thanks!

I knew nothing about this driving school when I signed up to attend. The reason I chose it was because of their name, and wanted to keep the business within the bay area but upon completing the school, I realized just what a good choice it was, I found the study guide, straightforward and easy to comprehend, as well as the testing material. Thanks for making an under pleasant experience very pleasant.
Thank you,
Greg Belknap.

Erika is a wonderful instructor. Not only is she good at teaching but she also has a great personality that help people feel at ease so students can focus on learning. She helped our 1st daughter a few years ago and now we want her to help our 2nd daughter. We trust her as a person and as an instructor.

We had great experiences with Bay Area Driving School. Three of my children have done their behind-the-wheel training with them, and all three not only passed the license test the first time but they also continue to be good drivers. I couldn’t be happier with this driving school.
