I passed my car driving test last week, I booked to few last minute lessons with advance Drive and if it wasn't for my instructor I really don't think I would have passed! The instructor was so patient and gave me so many good tips to help me drive better! I'd highly recommend taking lessons here!

Advance Drive are fantastic! I passed my C1 category test first time and I could not have done it without my instructor Martin. He was very helpful and had great patience with me. Martin answered any questions I had and kept me motivated to pass. Aoife was always so lovely and helpful when it came to booking my lessons and my test. It was very easy to contact Aoife which made everything that bit easier. I couldn't recommend Advance Drive more!

Thanks to all in Advance Drive for helping me pass my truck test today. The whole team are great from the first point of contact with Aoife, to each of the instructors bringing their own insights and experiences. A very special thanks to PJ Dunne, who brought it all together in the nick of time! Meeting me at 6am for the last brush up is going above and beyond the call of duty! Some man for one man. Thank you.

I just passed my artic with Noel (and Lee for final lesson) It’s easy to see why advance are so highly rated, top class all round, from the girls in the office making booking lessons and tests a breeze to the excellent instructor's, the knowledge and experience they have made me feel at ease from the very first lesson to the pre test. I have passed all the categories on the licence first time with advance drive and they are the only driving school I would ever recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work guys and thanks again

Hi All, I just want to thank Dezzie and all the team at Advance Drive for helping me pass my Class B driving test last Monday in Westside Galway. Overall, I did 17 lessons with Dezzie in the Ford Fiesta and I found him to be extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable at all times, and I can definitely say that he has the patience of a saint. As such, I can't recommend Advance Drive enough and I know that I would not have passed my driving test first time round without Dezzie's expert help. Thanks a million Dezzie.

- Instructor: Vas is an excellent instructor, very careful with details; aways show the exact procedures for the exam; point out all the right and wrong maneuvers during the lessons; encourage you and prepare you for the stressful day of the test. - Driving centre: it was the only driving centre I found with available agenda for a short period; They have both manual and automatic cars; They have a good price; They are flexible; They always answer you very quick.

I can't recommend Advance highly enough. Vincent, as well as Mike and Noel, taught me how to drive a bus with complete confidence from scratch. After the second lesson, Vincent's calmness and patience took away any fears I had, and gave me the confidence to know I could do this. He believed in me from the start and I am so, so grateful to him. I have to also commend the office staff for their efficiency, support and all the timely reminders! 100% recommended 👌
September 24, 2026Galway

Vas from Advanced Drive was an amazing driving instructor. His patience and knowledge really helped me to pass my driving test and become confident in my driving. The ladies in the office made scheduling lessons very easy. I would highly recommend booking driving lessons with Advanced Drive.
August 31, 2021Galway

Just passed my first driving test and I'm so happy. Pat was a very calm and patient instructor who helped me as I was nervous starting off. Then I had Noel who was very positive in the weeks coming up to my test. Both had excellent ways of teaching me good driving habits that I will always use. Thank you all at Advance Drive for teaching me how to drive but also accommodating me if I had to change my lesson times. 🙂

I passed my driving test (car) first time. I can not thank Advance Driving enough , i started my lessons with corey , and i finished my lessons with Declan. I highly recommend Declan as a driving instructor. Declan will always encourage you and support you along the way. He will make your driving experience enjoyable.

April 28, 2023

I made five lessons with Pat and he was great, very helpful, calm, patient, and motivated me to keep trying. It made all the difference for me. Before I met him, all the other instructors were rude on the telephone on the first contact, they were assuming that I was a terrible trainee only because I wanted to change instructors even before they met me personally. Pat treated me differently, with respect and never second-guessed me.  So, thank you very much Advanced Drive and Pat for your support
November 5, 2019Galway

I would highly recommend Advance Drive. I passed my Jeep and trailer test first time thanks to great lessons from Philip. Will be back for truck and bus lessons!
April 30, 2014David Irwim

I went to Advance Drive for mini bus lessons and thankfully passed my test last Tuesday. I got held up on taking my test as Covid just came in when I had started with the lessons. I found Mike in the earlier lessons I took to be very good & helpfull and in the last few lessons I took with Gerry Burke I found him also very good & helpfull. I would strongly recommend them both if you want to sign up with Advance Drive. Aoife on reception is most helpfull in scheduling your lessons.
April 5, 2022Galway

I passed my test earlier this week and it was made so much easier with Pat and everyone else from Advance Drive. From start to finish they supported me the whole way. I would highly recommend them.

Can't thank the staff at Advance Drive enough, only for them I wouldn't have my truck licence. I would highly recommend them especially Mike (driving instructor), Trevor Bonner (Forklift instructor) and James Folan (Rules of the Road). Lee done most of my lessons, he's a strict instructor but good, always open to questions. I was fairly nervous on the run up to my driving test but Mike really helped, he gave me a mock test, it eased my nerves. I really enjoyed the HGV course. All the staff are lovely, very approachable and easy to talk to. I'd highly recommend Advance Drive, keep up the good work!

May 14, 2025Ballinasloe

(17/04/14) Looked at a number of other driving schools before choosing Advance Drive. I'm glad I went with my 'gut instinct' & chose this one. Philip did a great job of teaching me. I felt relaxed with him & learnt something at every lesson. He's patient, very astute (misses nothing!) a good communicator and great instructor. Managed to pass my driving test first time. I'm 'over the moon!' I would certainly recommend Advance Drive to anyone in the process of choosing a driving school. Thanks to Philip, Ailbhe & all at Advance Drive.
April 28, 2014Allison Barry

March 21, 2019Galway

Colm was the best instructor I could have asked for! He was calm, patient, very friendly and has consistently provided constructive feedback that enabled me to correct mistakes without feeling discouraged. The advice I received will serve me throughout my driving career and beyond. Thanks to him, I passed my exam on the first attempt today! Couldn't recommend Colm enough, I wish everyone an instructor like him!!
January 6, 2026

I would recommend Advance Drive. I felt confident and well prepared for my C1 test, which I passed first time thanks to Dezzie's very clear and professional tutelage.
April 30, 2014Rob

Extremely pleased with the whole process. I had Colm as my instructor for Jeep and trailer. He maintained the highest levels of professionalism and was an expert instructor the whole time I have to credit my pass on my test down to all the work he put in to me. I also must thank the admin team for always accommodating me with my difficult schedule. Many thanks to advance drive. I highly recommended them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **5 Star Review for Advance Drive** I would highly recommend **Advance Drive** to anyone looking to start a career in bus driving. I was lucky enough to be taken on board for a **10-week bus driving course**, and during that time I gained so much knowledge, confidence and valuable experience. The course covered so much, including **bus driving, first aid, manual handling, career planning and job-seeking skills**, which has really helped prepare me for my next step. A special thank you to **Evelyn**, who was absolutely brilliant in helping me with my career planning and job-seeking skills. She was so supportive and encouraging throughout. I also want to say a huge thank you to **Mike, Vincent and Ronald**, who were absolutely fantastic teachers. They were so patient, supportive and encouraging and helped me learn, improve and build my confidence in driving buses. I couldn't have asked for better instructors. And finally, thank you to **Philip** for introducing us all to Advance Drive and giving us this fantastic opportunity and Aoife who was excellent on emails communicating and making sure everything was right along with the other girls so many to mention I also want to thank **everyone at Advance Drive** who helped and supported me throughout the course.

I can't speak highly enough of the team at Advance Drive, I passed the HGV rigid first time with the help of Vincent who was the instructor. He was excellent, very professional, understanding and skillful with the patience of a saint. Philip and Gerry were excellent, they were very helpful and went out of their way to to accomodate me. Finally Aoife, I can only describe Aoife as an absolute little star and a real gem for Advance Drive. I dealt with Aoife regularly and she was brilliant, extremely polite and courteous and just a real pleasure to deal with. Left no stone unturned to make sure everything was right. I would give them 10/10, would definitely recommend them if you want success and a good experience. Thank you very much Advance Drive :o)

ADVANCE DRIVE are a great driving school. To Aoife and Emma for organizing lessons at such short notice once again - it was much appreciated and didn't go un-noticed. To Dezzie - what an instructor. His attention to detail is crucial for you if you want to pass your test first time round. His guidance and methods are so easy to understand and makes the journey enjoyable. Pick up the phone right now and call them - you wont be sorry the day you get your test result! Much appreciated again, Alan
February 11, 2021Galway

My driving lessons were disrupted by the recent health crisis, but once I joined up with Advance Drive and my instructor Martin, I flew through my remaining EDT's. Martin was a fantastic instructor and made me feel very comfortable getting back to driving as I was quite nervous. After a few lessons with him, my confidence grew leaps and bounds and with just three extra lessons after the essential ones, I passed my test the first time! I would highly recommend Martin and Advance Drive to anyone no matter where you are on your driving journey. Thanks so much Martin, couldn't have done it without you!!

Many thanks to Garry at Advance Drive who prepared me for my driving test. I passed first time with Garry's help. He is really patient and puts you at ease. His calm and friendly nature takes the stress out of driving. Garry is very knowledgeable and has great tips for making you a safe and confident driver. I would highly recommend Advance Drive to anyone learning to drive. Many thanks to the office staff also who are very organised and make every effort to accommodate all appointments. Grainne

I went to Advanced drive after they were recommended by a friend. I have now passed 2 tests with them (bus and truck) and can't praise them enough. Phillip and Mike are both very patient and encouraging during the learning process. During each pre-test lesson they re-assured me and gave me ways to deal with the test nerves. This patience,professionality and excellent prices, added to their felxibility in scheduling lessons make them my first choice for any more tests. well done lads
