Why Choose Us

Your lessons, your way

When you have so many options for who to learn to drive with, it can be difficult to know which driving school or instructor is the right choice for you. There are many elements to consider when making your decision. 

Does the teaching style suit you? Are they patient and able to provide different ways for you to learn certain maneuvers? 

Are they trying to teach you enough to just get you through the test – or to actually drive confidently and competently in any condition you face or may come across in the future? 

At Acclaim Motor School, we pride ourselves on treating every learner as an individual. When you learn to drive with Martin, you’ll feel at ease knowing the aim is to help you become a strong, confident, competent and safe driver at a pace that suits you. 

We always ensure you have the opportunity to drive in a variety of conditions and learn all you need to know – even those things that don’t feature on the driving test – so you can be a well-rounded, independent driver.  

Whether you’re completely new to driving, looking for a refresher, or feeling especially nervous about driving, we can help you gain confidence and the ability to drive and handle whatever you face out on the road. 

Testimonials
