DRIVE BUDDI Reviews 

Very bad experience with one of the driving instructors, Sadia. I started lessons for my daughter in March, and before starting I clearly informed the manager that her driving test was booked for June. They assured me this would not be a problem and assigned Sadia as the instructor.

My daughter has been taking 2-hour lessons every week for the last 12 weeks. Now, close to the test date, the instructor suddenly says she cannot make my daughter ready for the exam. I told her that at least my daughter should try the test, but she refused and said she does not want to do it.

The biggest issue is that Sadia already had a holiday booked from the end of May until mid-June, meaning she would not even be available around the test date. This is extremely unprofessional because they knew about my daughter’s exam date from the beginning. If the instructor already planned a holiday, why did nobody inform us earlier?

When I spoke to the manager, he said he could not help and there was nothing they could do. This whole experience feels like they only cared about taking money instead of helping students pass their test.

I would never recommend this company to anyone. The reviews do not reflect my experience at all. Very disappointing service.

I had Murtaza as my instructor, and I passed 1st time with him after only a few months! Very knowledgeable instructor and very patient! Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to take automatic driving lessons!

Great instructor would recommend!

I had such a great experience learning with my Sadaf. She was incredibly friendly and made me feel comfortable right from the start. She explained everything clearly and always took the time to make sure I fully understood before moving on.
Her patience and support really helped build my confidence, especially when I was feeling unsure. Thanks to her encouragement and teaching, I was able to pass my test with zero minors!!! I’m so grateful for all her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone learning to drive.
Thank you Sadaf!!!

I passed my test yesterday thanks to my amazing instructor Dawood. He believed in me even when sometimes I doubted myself. The best instructor I could’ve asked for who gave me all the guidance I needed to be a good, confident and safe driver!

Great instructor , would highly recommend.

Sadaf is the most amazing instructor, she is kind, patient and considerate. She made me believe in myself every lesson and helped me overcome my anxiety, I am so grateful for her help and i would recommend her to absolutely everyone!

First instructor that I had wasn’t great and kept cancelling.
However, Dawood helped me SO much. He is extremely kind, gives very clear and thorough instructions, tips and advice and made me feel calm before and leading up to the test. I passed with 3 minors on a tricky route all thanks to him!

Amazing experience practicing with them, I passed my test on the first go thanks to the extensive lessons and tips.

I would 100% recommend.

Very professional and mo helped me immensely. Would highly recommend to anyone locally wanting to learn to drive.

Passed my test last week. I learned to drive with Ewelina. Just did what she tought me - and passed.
I liked very much our lessons. Always was feeling very comfortable. She always answered all my questions with a lot of patience and respect, explained everything as many times as I need to understand.
I consider that I'm really lucky to have Ewelina as driving instructor.
Wishing her and all your driving school a lot of good luck for future!

I had an excellent experience learning to drive with this instructor. From the very first lesson, he was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, even when I was nervous at the beginning.
Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I passed my driving test, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated driving instructor.

Had the pleasure of being taught by Mohamed for my driving and so grateful he had me pass on my first attempt within a month he covered everything and gave me the confidence to pass, would definitely recommend him

I passed my driving test and honestly, I still can’t quite believe it. Harshaali was amazing,

For the longest time, I genuinely thought driving just wasn’t for me. I struggled a lot at the start and felt like a lost cause more times than I can count. But everything changed with the right instructor. They didn’t just teach me how to drive, they really understood where I was going wrong, broke things down clearly, and helped me improve step by step.

Roundabouts were my biggest challenge, but we worked on them again and again until it finally clicked. That patience and consistency made all the difference.

I’m so grateful for the support I had couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. This feels like such a big personal win.

Passed my test with only 2 minors, despite my nerves, thanks to John. He was fantastic from start to finish and couldn't have done it without him. Having bad experiences in the past with instructors I was a bit dubious at the start but John was fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

I passed my driving test today and I honestly couldn’t have done it without my amazing instructor, Ewelina. After 30 hours of lessons, I can genuinely say I loved every single one. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed from the very beginning, which really helped build my confidence on the road.

We got along so well, and her sense of humour made every lesson enjoyable—I actually looked forward to them every time. She explained everything clearly, was always patient, and supported me through any nerves or mistakes.

Thank you so much, Ewelina, for everything. I’m so grateful for all your help and guidance. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn to drive

Passed my manual driving test today, and I cannot thank my instructor Dawood for getting me through this journey. He is an excellent teacher and I couldn’t have got a better instructor!

Mohamad -I recently passed my test, and I couldn’t have done it without my instructor’s support. They were incredibly patient throughout the entire process, always taking the time to explain things clearly and never making me feel rushed or pressured.

What stood out the most was their understanding nature—they recognized when I was struggling and adapted their teaching style to help me improve. Their calm and encouraging attitude really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.

Thanks to their guidance, I felt fully prepared going into my test and was able to pass successfully. I’m very grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone learning.

Recently passed my test with 0 minors! And I couldn’t have done it without my instructor Mo! What a man he is, he was recommended to me by a friend after a bad experience with a previous instructor, mo made me feel at ease within minutes, he’s so patient and genuine! Thanks to mo and drive buddy you’ve gave me something i thought i could never do! Would 1000% recommend him to anyone! Thanks again! 🙂

I had a really good experience training with Drive Buddi, especially thanks to my instructor John. He was always on time — often even 10–20 minutes early — which already showed how professional and reliable he is. After every lesson he gave me clear feedback, explained what I did well, and what I should improve next time. That really helped me progress faster and feel more confident on the road.

Overall, I’m very happy with the training I received. John is patient, supportive, and genuinely wants his students to succeed. Thank you for the great service — I definitely recommend Drive Buddi to anyone looking for quality driving lessons.
