Donna was so nice and able to work with my athlete's busy schedule. She is amazing and I'd request her if you can. She is out of Plainfield office.

Steve was my daughter's instructor. He was outstanding and helped my very nervous daughter pass her driving test with ease. Many thanks!

Mark Droba was my driving instructor. He helped me really improve my driving skills as he was very patient and always made me laugh which helped calm me down on all my drives.

Inaccurate information on their website led me to sign online for a package. A couple days later my instructor told me he was too busy to include me in his schedule. When I was able to talk to someone, she said they're not teaching adults. After cancelling the course they kept $25.00 fee. Overall a really bad experience, don't waste your money!

My wife used Excel Driving School and we couldn't be happier with the experience, the instructor was always timely and did an excellent job at teaching her all the ins and outs of driving in the US.

Excel driving school is more expensive than their competitors. I enrolled my child because it was close to home. One thing I learned to late was that they require parents to teach their children to drive for the first 10 hours behind the wheel. No other competitor requires this, and it seems crazy to me that the first 10 hours will be done by a parent instead of a trained professional.:not to mention who has the time. They should put that front and center in their program before you sign up.
