I have taken around five classes with Coastwide Driving School in order to exchange my international driving license for an Australian one. I also used the school car on the day of the test. My instructor, Narelle, provided me with all the necessary support and did her best to train me to gain confidence in driving on Queensland roads. Thanks to her, I was able to pass the exam on my first attempt. I am very grateful to her for that. Additionally, I found the school's website easy to use for making a booking, processing payments, and other related tasks.

I highly recommend Nicola, it was such a great pleasure having her as my driving instructor. She is patient, caring and the most important thing she is so honest. She makes sure that I understand all the safety rules. Can ask any question , or practice certain things on the road and will explain in different ways that I understood, or repeat over and over again what I need to practice, till she thought I was confident and ready to move on next task. Getting my P's on the first time , with lessons with Nicola, says it all. Thankyou Nicola and wish you all the best. Dante J

I booked with Michelle for my first ever lesson and she completely changed my mindset about driving. Previously, I held a deep fear of getting in the car and going for a drive, but after meeting Michelle my confidence improved significantly and I felt motivated to jump in the car to refine my skills. She exemplified a rich understanding of driving and teaching, allowing me to further develop my manual understanding. She also gave clear, direct instructions, explanations and examples, while maintaining her patience with my mistakes. She's got me hooked! So If you're looking for an amazing instructor--Michelle will exceed expectations.

I had Sue for all of my lessons and I couldn’t have chosen a better instructor to improve my driving with. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, she taught me all of the important manoeuvres and tricks that are beneficial for when you when driving on the roads. She always kept it lighthearted and stress free, which helped ease my nerves a lot as I’m sure a lot of other people including myself over think a lot which can affect your driving even when you’re fully capable. I can’t stress enough how much I could not have succeeded with my license without Sue. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone, especially if you’re a bit uneasy or nervous about being on the roads. 5 stars from me!
