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

Testimonials
Just had my 3rd daughter complete her road test with The Next Street and have nothing but amazing experiences with all three of them. Bill is an amazing instructor and I hope that the company values what he brings to the kids. My daughter was extremely nervous and he was able to make her comfortable and confident of her abilities that made all of the difference. We really appreciate his help and could not say enough positive things about him and The Next Street! Highly recommend!
