Testimonials

Bianca O'Donnell: "Just to say thank you very much for everything you did in order to help me pass. I really appreciate it! Driving with Total Driving was an unforgettable experience. My instructor, Marcus, made the whole experience fun and relaxed. I was able to learn in a no pressured environment at a pace that suited me. Lessons were not only informative but they were also relaxed and filled with good humour. I couldn't have picked a better instructor or company to help me broaden my horizons."

Kelly Louise Burkinshaw: "Total Driving was recommended to me by a friend due to Marcus' competitive prices and laid back lessons. I decided to give it a try, considering I was terrified about learning to drive and wanted an instructor who I felt at ease with. Marcus was just that. He's a brilliant teacher who's very relaxed, patient and has a wicked sense of humour, which made the whole experience of learning to drive so much more enjoyable."
