Safeway Driving is the reason I can confidently call myself a safe and responsible driver. The instructors at this school are absolutely incredible, and I wouldn’t be where I am today as a driver without their guidance and support. A huge shoutout to Mr. Eric Friederman, Mr. Cary Carroll, and Mr. Bonny Todd. I took driving lessons with all three of them, and they were amazing! They taught me an incredible amount of valuable information that I will carry with me for the rest of my life as a driver. I’d also like to give special recognition to Mr. Terrence Myers, who administered my driver’s test. He was professional, kind, and made the experience a positive one. I am extremely grateful to Safeway Driving and everything it has done for me. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to earn their driver’s license and become a safe, confident driver. Thank you so much, Safeway Driving! Read Less

I signed up 6hr class + 2 hrs of adult practice and I am so glad I did! I feel more confident on the road. Coach Eric was my instructor and he was so kind and patient. He offered lots of practical advice, demonstrations while fully allowing me to try, and lotsssss of validation. I completed my road test with Safeway and had a great time with Coach Dennis. She was very calm and kind, which in turn helped me! Coach Eric prepared me well for the road test. Read Less

Attempted to schedule my sons final driving exam with them, interestingly enough it was just as quick to get it with the DPS!! They do not answer email in a timely matter, if at all!! Would not recommend! Read Less

COMPLETE and UTTER scam. NO drive times, customer service, or teachers interested in seeing their students succeed. 10/10 would not recommend. Save your self the time by not using this company. Again I repeat, DO NOT USE SAFEWAY DRIVING SCHOOL!!! You will be much happier with Houston Area Driving School or another driving school in the area. TRASH ALERT! Read Less

Very few available drive times (even though they are PREPAID). Phone is rarely answered. Rude and unhelpful when a person actually does answer. Very frustrating experience. Do not use them!

Having recently relocated to the Houston area, we were referred to Safeway by a friend who had a very positive experience. There are 2 components to the experience 1) The Online Course 2) The Training. The online course is very thorough and asks questions which encourage, in fact almost force, the student to be engaged - no multitasking. This is unique and has the result of getting the student to retain much of what is presented. In Texas, passing the test through Safeway also allows the student to bypass taking the test onsite at the DPS which is a huge advantage. As for the training, there is a high demand, and during high seasons (school vacation periods), scheduling drives can be difficult at the last second. That said, the office bends over backwards to assist in getting the drives scheduled, and are very understanding of scheduling complications. Plan ahead and engage them with a phone call - they are friendly. They have several locations centrally located. Most importantly, the educators are totally awesome! They have a systematic curriculum which makes instructors consistent and gets total beginners comfortable with the road quickly. They leverage modern-age technology to model various driving situations, and they preach being courteous on the road. What a concept! Having experienced schools in other states, and seen poor results from other options in Texas, Safeway is really, really good, and listens to their clients to get better. Read Less
