Features The Next Street Other Driving Schools
Locations
70+ locations across Connecticut. Take lessons and tests wherever it’s most convenient.
A handful of locations—often just one site. You’ll spend more time driving to a lesson than during it.
Schedule
More classes, lessons, and test appointments than any other driving school, with daytime, evening, and weekend options every week.
Limited options with long waits for openings mean slower progress toward your license.
Instruction Team
Patient, professional, expert instructors who meet students where they are, whether confident or nervous behind the wheel.
Teaching styles can vary, and patience isn’t always part of the lesson plan.
Fleet
Clean, modern, well-maintained vehicles with in-car cameras and GPS for a safer, smoother learning experience.
Older vehicles with spotty maintenance. (The good news: You’ll get hands-on experience with the “check engine” light.)
Customer Support
Real, local humans available by phone, text, or chat 6 days a week. World-class support every step of the way.
Support is often outsourced or hard to reach. Leave a message after the “beep” (and hope you hear back).
Online Access
24/7 online Student Portal for scheduling, payments, and tracking your progress—whenever, wherever.
Still stuck in the paper age. Expect forms, phone calls, and maybe a fax or two.
Pricing & Payment Plans
Transparent pricing and flexible payment plans make the best Driver’s Ed accessible for every family and every budget.
“Cash or check only.” No payment options, no flexibility… no, thanks.

Testimonials

“Ari is a terrific driving instructor. He taught my son how to deal with the most challenging aspects of driving. What a confidence booster! My son had a huge smile on his face when he came back from his lesson. What a huge difference Ari made in his driving. Immediate results! Thank you, Ari! We highly recommend you to all new teenaged drivers!!”

"We’ve had a super positive experience with The Next Street!! Online lessons were convenient, engaging, and informative. Our driving instructors, Don and Ari, were patient and thorough in their instruction, which created a great learning experience. Their detailed notes and comments were great and made sure my son knew exactly what he needed to improve upon."
