IDrive Smart or Anees?

[Anonymous]

I’m trying to decide between these 2 behind the wheel programs for my DD. Any feedback on either is appreciated.

I DriveSmart is usually must more expensive then other options. IMO, the class portion is very regulated on content so it does not matter where you take it. The 6 hours behind the wheel is nothing compared to all the hours a parent will spend with their child.

Choose on convenience and price.

I was not that impressed with I drive smart fwiw.

I also choose a cheaper option. The course content is set by the state, not the program.

I've got 2 teens that took the I Drive Smart program and I think it was money well spent. I've got 1 more teen that will take it in a couple years. The classroom instructors were, without exception, excellent and followed a very good curricula. We had one less than exceptional experience with a driving instructor - it wasn't anything dangerous, just that the instructor was 20 minutes late to a 50 minute session, didn't offer to make up the time and really offered no instruction to my teen driver. The company offered another lesson. The company also actively solicits feedback and each driving instructor also posts feedback after each session - besides offering in-car feedback.

Two of my kids did I Drive Smart. Excellent in car instruction! It seemed well worth the extra expense. However, my kids have friends who did Greg’s and seemed to have no issues. It’s a more affordable option.

That good curricula is dictated by the state and would be the same in every program.

OP is asking about behind-the-wheel training.

Where do you get that from the post or even the title. OP is asking about driving schools, which are both behind-the-wheel and classroom training.

Re-read the post. Words “behind the wheel” are right there.

I drive smart was fantastic for my first driver. I can’t get anything scheduled over the summer for my second. They are very busy.
