Todos los instructores son pacientes y te enseñan todo lo que se necesita para pasar el examen de manejo, lo aprenderás en menos de dos clases.
I had my first lesson with them and it was the best. Rob was very helpful and answered all my questions. 10/10 recommend him.
I had my road test lesson with Diego today, and he was an amazing instructor! I passed my road test on the first try, and I’m so glad I chose this driving school. I booked the 1-hour road test practice session, and it was absolutely worth it. Diego explained everything clearly and taught me helpful techniques and tips that made me feel confident and prepared for the test. The entire process was smooth and well-organized, from booking the lesson to the day of the road test. I highly recommend New Jersey Driving School to anyone preparing for their road test!
Bella previously worked with a different driving school. We felt she needed more practice. NJ Driving School made scheduling easy. Bella told me her instructor gave better examples and suggestions. Her confidence improved and she passed her road test. Thank you!
Thank you, Jennifer! We’re so happy to hear that scheduling was easy and that Bella felt more confident after her lessons. Congratulations to Bella on passing her road test! We appreciate you choosing New Jersey Driving School. 🚗
Great driving school to book when in need of preparation for the road test. Pierro, who was my instructor was excellent. I did the 1 hour practice with him and because of his help the test was very easy and I ended up getting my license.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Juls! Congratulations on getting your license! We’re glad the one-hour practice with Piero helped you feel ready for your road test. We’ll share your kind words with him.
Really great experience & I highly recommend them to people who don’t have much experience driving. I am a nervous driver and needed to get trained fairly quickly. Melissa was wonderful, patient and an excellent instructor. The instructors do pick up and drop off during training and then on the day of the test pick up with practice. I had one session with Diego and he was very nice too. My work schedule is really hectic but NJDS staff was so accommodating and helpful. Thanks so much Melissa and NJ driving school staff! So relieved & happy to have passed my test.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Aditi! Congratulations on passing your road test! We’re glad Melissa helped you feel comfortable as you learned, and that Diego and our office team could work around your busy schedule. We’ll share your kind words with them.
I called them up to schedule a 30-minute practice/refresher session with them right before my road test. Scheduling was an easy and accommodating process. I was assigned Melissa as my instructor. Before the session with Melissa, I was worried that I needed more practice time because my parallel parking skills were a little suspect. Plus, my K-turn sometimes involved using 5 points instead of 3 points consistently. However, after getting instructions from Melissa for a few minutes, I nailed both the parallel parking and K-turns in the practice session easily. Melissa has a technique for both parallel parking and K-turns that makes it very easy to master. In fact, I actually think it might be harder to fail the parallel parking and K-turns if you follow her technique. Her technique makes it a lot easier to excel. This gave me much-needed confidence going into the road test. Melissa also gave me a few pointers about other aspects of the road test that made everything easier and ace the road test. Melissa's instructions were very easy to understand and apply when taking the road test and driving in general. The 30 minutes refresher session was more than enough time to prepare me for the road test. I am very grateful and lucky to have chosen this service when preparing for my road test.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Ken! Congratulations on passing your road test! We’re glad scheduling was easy and that your refresher session with Melissa helped you feel confident with parallel parking and K-turns. We’ll share your kind words with her. Safe driving!

Thank you, Marleen! We’re glad Manny helped you brush up on your driving skills. Your recommendation and kind words about our instructors mean a lot to the whole team!
I had an amazing experience with this driving school from start to finish! The private lessons gave me so much confidence behind the wheel, and every instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. A huge shoutout to Melissa for being the absolute best instructor! She made every lesson easy to understand, helped calm my nerves, and made sure I was fully prepared for my road test. She was even incredibly supportive on the day of my test, which made such a difference. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking for professional, patient, and caring instructors.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Gabriella! We’re glad your lessons helped you gain confidence behind the wheel. It means a lot to hear that Melissa helped calm your nerves and supported you on test day. We’ll share your kind words with her and the rest of the team. Thank you for recommending us!
Outstanding small business. Very organized and their instructors are top notch. I've used them more than 6 times for driving instruction and for the driving test. Cars are in good condition. We love NJ Driving school!
