My daughter had a wonderful experience with Beltway Driving Academy. After a less than ideal experience with another driving company with my older child, we decided to try Beltway Driving for my younger daughter. Annette, who scheduled our appointments was very professional, courteous and timely. Our two driving instructors, Sheresse and Edwin were also very professional, patient and kind while instructing my teenage daughter on her individual lessons. She felt very prepared for her MVA test. Would highly recommend!

Amazing staff and experience. I would recommend students to attend their Driving School and Behind the Wheel sessions here. They are very attentive and don't mind going the extra mile to help a student out. Shout out to Mrs. Annette who is a hard worker and is so sweet and Greg and Trevor for the behind the Wheel Sessions and in addition Mr. & Mrs. Bentley for making our online classes so engaging. Won't forget my experience here!
Check them out.

I had an amazing experience with this driving school from start to finish—10/10, and I would highly recommend it!
I completed both the virtual classroom portion and the behind-the-wheel lessons, and I couldn’t have asked for better instructors. Ms. J made every class enjoyable with her positive attitude, enthusiasm, and ability to keep everyone engaged. She made learning feel fun and always made everyone feel included. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which helped me feel prepared and confident.
For my behind-the-wheel lessons, I had Edwin Blanchard as my instructor, and he was just as amazing. He was patient, encouraging, and had a great sense of humor, which made every lesson enjoyable and helped calm my nerves. He gave clear instructions, built my confidence behind the wheel, and created a comfortable learning environment where I felt supported every step of the way.
Overall, this was an outstanding experience, and I’m so grateful for everything I learned. If you’re looking for one of the best driving schools in Maryland, I would absolutely recommend this one. Thank you to Ms. J, Edwin Blanchard, and the entire team for helping me become a more confident and safer driver!

I had an excellent experience with Beltway Driving Academy Bowie.
A special thank you to driving instructors Toni Hetzer and Edwin Blanchard for their patience, clear guidance, and valuable driving tips. Their calm and encouraging teaching style helped me build confidence behind the wheel and prepare effectively for my driving test.
I would also like to recognize coordinator Annet for her outstanding support and organization. She was always helpful, responsive, and ensured that scheduling and communication were smooth throughout the process.
I highly recommend Beltway Driving Academy to anyone looking for high-quality driving instruction and exceptional customer service

Just finished my drive time with an instructor and I highly recommend this academy to anyone whether you've been driving for quite a while or just started. I would like to give a huge thanks to my instructor Mr. Jose Vega. He was incredibly patient and very informative. I'm normally a very anxious person when it comes to driving but Mr.Vega made everything very simple and straightforward and created the perfect learning environment. I've learned so much in a short period of time which lets me know that these instructors are very knowledgeable and considerate. This driving academy will not disappoint!

This driving school was a great experience. My teacher, Ms. Cassandra, was given a brand new curriculum to teach and she taught it flawlessly. Within two weeks I was familiar with the comprehensive information that the MVA required us to learn. Although Ms. Cassandra had taught a multitude of classes (as she gets a new batch every two weeks) I sensed no apathy and my experience was truly unique. I recommend this school to anyone and I am sure they will get their money's worth.

I would like for anyone who is seriously considering selecting a driving school take the time to give Beltway Driving School a chance. This company is phenomenal! The instructors are highly dedicated to teaching driving instruction and safety. I have experienced topnotch customer service and all of my needs have been addressed in a timely manner. I have worked with another driving school in the past and Beltway Driving School's commitment and dedication to their students is exemplary and that's hard to find.

Do not use this driving "school". The entire company is a joke. All of the instructors are unprofessional. They are unresponsive to requests. Their website is trash. When attempting to set up driving practice the website fails and they never answer the phone or call back after repeatedly leaving messages. If you finally reach someone they are rude and say that scheduling these appointments is not their responsibility but yours. They, of course, offer no explanation to the lack of return contact by email or voicemail. They know their site is malfunctioning but continue to blame you. Then the "teachers" will fail to offer any actual instruction. In car or in class. Do not waste your time or money. You will regret using them.

I would reccomend this driving academy to anyone! The facilities are clean and organized, beverages are offered and its a very relaxed learning environment. Mr. Jones and Ms. Lita are the best, they're both really funny instructors that give constructive criticism without making you feel unintelligent . It turns out that me and another guy in my class scheduled our driving test on the same day around the same time and on the day of the test, both of us were the only ones that passed our test out of the other teenagers on the course (you can watch other drivers while waiting in line for your turn). My twin sister also went here and she passed her test the first time, too. You won't regret learning at Beltway!

My daughter completed the class instruction this summer and Beltway Driving Academy was able to accommodate her with the driving instruction right away. Their instruction was very safe, detailed and professional. This is a family owned business and I am glad I went to them first. 2 weeks later my daughter took her driving test and passed "first time go!" she drives her self to school and back everyday safely...I highly recommend this school.

Three weeks after my child completed the classroom instructions with Beltway, he has finally been able to schedule the behind the wheel instruction of the course. The only available dates are in November! Clearly, if this school realized they were behind in getting the previous classes their behind the wheel instructions completed, they should not have scheduled any more students and subject them to this kind of delay. This is totally unacceptable.

I enrolled my daughter in this driving school the summer of 2013. This family operated business is AWESOME. I'm that parent who couldn't teach my child to drive. The combination of class instruction and actual driving has put my mind at ease. Almost a year later my child is a safe and responsible driver. Paying for extra road hours and them taking her for her road test, help her pass with ease. I have total confidence and faith that when she is on the road alone she was taught properly.

I enrolled my daughter in this driving school the summer of 2013. This family operated business is AWESOME. I'm that parent who couldn't teach my child to drive. The combination of class instruction and actual driving has put my mind at ease. Almost a year later my child is a safe and responsible driver. Paying for extra road hours and them taking her for her road test, help her pass with ease. I have total confidence and faith that when she is on the road alone she was taught properly.
