Alisa Poly 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Aviva Driving School! 12 lessons, reasonably priced. Booking lessons was simple, and the team on the phone was always helpful and easy to deal with. A huge shoutout to my instructor, Danny Reid – he’s absolutely brilliant! Danny is so patient and explains everything really clearly. I used to feel nervous about driving, but he helped me build confidence and actually enjoy it. He also shared some great tips and tricks that make driving feel much easier and more natural. I’m so happy I ended up with Danny as my instructor. If you’re thinking of learning to drive, I’d definitely recommend both Aviva and Danny.

Fantastic experience: David Donoghue in Loughrea. Excellent driving instructor, passed my test the first time.

Ella Nolan 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I completed my 12 EDT with my great instructor Nick Brennan in Wexford town. I passed my test on the first time due to Nick’s guidance and instruction during lessons. He was always a calming presence in the car which I found really beneficial. I would really recommend doing your lessons with Aviva and especially Nick Brennan if you’re looking for an instructor around the Wexford area.

Clarice M 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I bought the Aviva 6 months of insurance and 12 lessons package. Unreal deal! I had my lessons with Danny Reid and it was such a smooth and enjoyable experience! By the end of my lessons I feel like a comfortable and competent driver and I can't wait for my test. I can't believe the transformation - just 2 years ago I swore I'd never drive and it's now one of my favourite activities. Danny always talked through everything in depth before getting me to try it, with visual examples with magnetic cars on different types of road layouts and even physical mock ups to explain the clutch and how to correctly steer for example. I always felt really safe in the car, while gaining the necessary experience with new manoeuvres and roads. Danny set weekly bits to watch and read in bite sized chunks so I was learning the theory and not just in practice. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I'll be recommending Aviva to everyone. And if needed, I'll definitely be booking additional lessons before my test.

Fantastic experience: Paul Keating, based in Dublin, was an amazing driving instructor! He was calm, patient, and explained everything so clearly.

Asides from that Danny himself is also a lovely person who always made me feel comfortable learning to drive which can be a stressful time for some people and I can’t thank him enough for making my driving lessons such a positive experience

Fantastic experience: I completed my 12 EDT lessons followed by 6 pre test lessons (achieve package) with Pat Kehoe based in Dun Laoighre. He was an excellent instructor who always remained calm and patient throughout our lessons. He was very thorough when explaining new concepts and was very useful at helping me to understand them, both with explanation and visual learning aids. I thoroughly enjoyed all of my lessons as Pat made me feel at ease and calmed my nerves. I passed my driving test first time and I couldn’t have done it without Pat’s help. He is a very good instructor and also a lovely person with a calming mannerism which makes him great at his job. He was very easy to get in contact with if needed. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Aviva also made the whole process of lessons and insurance very easy.

Fantastic experience: I had Danny Reid for my EDT lessons. He was an excellent instructor, who always remained calm and patient throughout our lessons. He was very thorough when explaining new concepts, and was very useful at helping to understand why they were important. Danny put a strong emphasis on the responsibility that comes with driving a car, and the importance of driving safely. He is also a lovely character, who made each lesson something to look forward to as opposed to be nervous for. He is well able to have a laugh while also remaining professional while teaching. I have since passed my driving test and wouldn’t have been able to do so without the help from Danny. I cannot recommend him enough.

I highly recommend David Donohue from Aviva if anyone is looking for top notch lessons and instructors.

Alannah Conroy 1 year ago

Negative experience: One of the worst driving schools. They don’t have the decency to accommodate students for lessons, you also have to go out of your way to meet them at a certain location which is insane considering you spend nearly 550+ on the lessons in the first place. Some of the instructors don’t have the decent to also reply to your messages and are still owed a driving lesson. If booking lessons with this company read the fine print please. Wouldn’t recommend

Muirinn Carty 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Based in Wexford Town, I had Nick Brennan as my instructor while I was learning to drive. He is a great instructor with so much patience and understanding. I was very nervous at the beginning to go on the roads but with his guidance I became very confident and couldn't wait to sit my test. The Aviva package of lessons and insurance is really accessible and a great way to make sure you're practicing driving in between lessons. Couldn't recommend Nick enough. I always felt very safe and calm while learning with him.

Nika R 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Aviva Driving School and especially driving instructor Nick Brennan, working in Wexford Town. Nick is very professional and very good driving instructor, gives clear instructions and explains everything you need to know or what to expect from the test, also he will tell you if you’re ready for the test or no. Passed Test from the first time. Thank you for everything

N B 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Danny Reid is a fantastic instructor - he is really patient and knowledgeable, and he uses different styles of learning during your driving lessons so the theory behind certain manoeuvres and techniques make much more sense. As a visual learner, Danny’s use of diagrams in particular made a world of difference to my learning, as did the videos and articles that he suggested reading and watching to complement each lesson. I have just finished my EDT lessons today, and I’m delighted with my progress as I went from constantly cutting out and stalling to driving with confidence after doing my lessons with Danny. I would really highly recommend Aviva (and Danny in particular) to anybody who wants to learn to drive.

Denis Casey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As an adult learner (40s), I highly recommend Gerry Kelly of Aviva Driving School in Mullingar (Co. Westmeath) for an instructor. I work in higher education and have an eye for what makes a good instructor/teacher, and found his approach very effective. He reinforces what you do right, corrects errors in a reassuring manner, and helps you build your competancy in a structured manner. You know where you stand, where you need to go, and how to get there. I have no doubt his approach and reassuring manner would be effective for learners of any age. I took my test in Mullingar, and he not only familiarised me with all the test routes, but helped me understand how to apply the learning from driving them to other roads. I left the test centre (having passed), with only minor feedback points for correction. If you take your lessons with Gerry, you'll be in a good position to do likewise.

Surya Kumar 1 year ago

Negative experience: This review is only for the Naas branch of Aviva Driving School. If you ever get assigned an instructor named B**an, streer clear off him. This man was so rude and intimidating that I lost all the confidence I had in driving and I kept putting off taking my test. I do acknowledge I am not great at driving, but no one wants to be screamed, yelled and shouted at while learning and behind the wheels. I couldn't wait for the lessons to be over so I could never see this man again. The lessons I took with him led to a trauma that I kept delaying my actual driving test indefinitely and I wasted close to 2 years until I gained confidence again to sit the test and cleared it. It's amazing how one person's behaviour could absolutely bring down your self belief and self confidence. People like him shouldn't be in the teaching job!

Aoibhinn Keating 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did lessons and pre-test lessons with Philip Nolan in Greystones and Wicklow. Philip was a great teacher and helped me to build my confidence when driving.

He's a good driving instructor giving clear and concise tips helping you through all the pitfalls while learning how to drive. He was well informed as after passing the test he asks other drivers including me about the up to date questions that are being asked in the test to help future drivers. He also asks about where you fell down on in the practical which was helpful for common mistakes to watch out for. All in all I'd totally reccomend.

Fantastic experience: Marie Hove from Aviva has been an incredible driving instructor and a really good friend! Her patience and encouragement helped me pass my road test with ease. She knows the Tallaght driving routes and the new pedestrian crossings and signs like the back of her hand, which was a huge advantage. She explained everything clearly, from the smallest details to the most obvious things. If you're looking for a manual transmission driving instructor, I can't recommend Marie highly enough! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend this driving school more. Nick Brennan (Wexford) in particular was a very patient and knowledgeable instructor, ensuring I understood everything thoroughly about both driving and the driving test. I passed the test on my first attempt thanks to him.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience learning to drive with the Aviva school, and my instructor Chris. He was very kind and patient and always greeted me with a smile. He explained things really well and taught me a lot of things I didn’t know! I would highly recommend doing lessons with Aviva and Chris as an instructor! I wouldn’t have passed my test without his help! :)

Fantastic experience: Over the past few months I’ve had the privilege of being taught to drive in a safe and confident manner by Aviva instructor Danny Reid. Danny is an exceptional mentor boasting immense patience and willingness to answer any and every question thrown at him. Danny’s style of teaching is also exceptional, with detailed explanations including hand drawn diagrams, showing his passion for teaching. I would highly recommend Danny for any new learner drivers to come. Many thanks to Danny!

Fantastic experience: I did my 12 EDT and 6 pre test lessons with Aviva instructor Gerry Kelly. These lessons really helped me become the best driver I could be and Gerry was very patient and gave clear instructions at all times. I passed my test first time and couldn’t be happier with my choice to go with Aviva driving school!

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience learning to drive with Aviva driving school with my instructor Gerry Kelly (mullingar). I truly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! He always took the time to really explain everything to me, often using diagrams which made it so much easier to understand it all. He was so patient with me throughout all my lessons, I couldn’t have done it without him!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of taking 12 EDT lessons with Daniel Reid, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. From the very first lesson, I was excited to learn something new each day. Danny's teaching style is exceptional—he takes the time to thoroughly explain each concept, often using diagrams and visuals that make everything so much clearer. His patience and dedication to ensuring I understood every detail truly made a difference in my learning journey. Finding him through Aviva was a stroke of luck, and I am incredibly grateful. Thanks, Danny, for making my driving lessons such a positive and educational experience!

Fantastic experience: My driving experience with Aviva was fantastic. I completed my 12 lessons, and then also 6 additional lessons/mock tests, with David in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, before passing my test first time in Mulhuddart Test Centre. I was quite apprehensive and nervous at first when it came to driving, but with the help, constant encouragement and feedback from David, I was able to exceed my own expectations. David always greeted me in a positive, and personable manner, and took the time to actually get to know me, which made learning from him an enjoyable and relaxing experience. He always picked me up on areas to work on and helped me to remedy them, with solutions and tips. Credit where credit is due, an excellent driving school and an even better instructor.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Aviva Driving School. Chris Rees taught me and he was so patient and really helped my progress. I did my lessons in Castlebar, and I passed my driving test last week thanks to the kindness and help that he provided. I couldn't recommend them any more to people who are just new to learning to drive. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I did 12 lessons and 6 pre-tests with the same instructor from Aviva. Philip Nolan was a really great instructor who helped me gain much understanding of the driving world and helped me to feel confident in my driving. I really enjoyed the lessons and working with Philip and Aviva to become a competent driver. Highly recommend going with Aviva!
