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.

Thank you Steve from CoastWide driving. My son had numerous lessons with Steve to prepare him for his Manual driving test. Steve is passionate about safe driving, approachable, calm and always on time. What I liked most about Steve was that my son connected with him which made learning easier. Steve also communicated regularly with my husband and I with regards to our sons driving progress. He made the process so easy and because of that my son passed his driving test first go! We can’t thank Steve enough.

Hi,
I cant express enough how much I appreciate Peter for helping and encouraging me during the training time. He is respectful, fun, very experienced and understanding. I highly recommend Peter. I got my P on the first test and I believe I would not be able to make this without his support and encouragement as I am a very scary driver having granny driving style. Once again, thank you Peter and Coastwidedriving team.
I hope you you all the best and I will see you again soon Peter.

I would like to thank 2 people for helping me get my P License.

Starting with Naomi for helping organising the lesson with Sandy and the instructor car. Customer service received was very friendly and excellent service that she provided.

Lastly Sandy, she went over some refreshers which helped me pass the test. She gave me a few pointers that I carried into the test and it helped me pass. So I couldn't have done it without Sandy's assistance.

I appreciate the late assistance with the test and the driving lesson and helping get my P License.

The learning with Coastwide was fantastic from start to finish. Booking lessons and my Test Day Package was a breeze with the website, being able to pick and choose my preferred times.

My Driving Instructor, Aaron, was amazing in my lessons, calm and cool the whole time which made me less nervous about the whole experience. He was very knowledgeable and had great communication when it came to teaching road rules and different maneuvers which helped me greatly get comfortable and ace my practical test.

Would highly recommend Coastwide Driving to anyone looking to learn how to drive and would very much recommend my Instructor Aaron to teach you how.

Thanks !!!
