BEST SCHOOL OF DRIVING LTD Reviews 

Horrible experience — I would strongly recommend avoiding this school.

This was my second test with this driving school, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.

One of my biggest concerns was the lack of transparency regarding test charges. I was not informed about the charges in advance. Instead, the cost was brought up just one day before the test, when I was already committed and had very little choice but to pay. The actual price was never properly discussed with me beforehand, which I found unfair and unprofessional.

I was also asked to pay an additional £55 for insurance. I was told that my name would be included on the insurance and that this was something every driving school charges. When I asked for proof or documentation confirming that my name was actually covered, I did not receive a clear answer. If a student is being asked to pay an additional charge for insurance, I believe it is completely reasonable to expect transparency and proof of what that payment covers.

Another major issue was the way the examiner's feedback was handled. I wanted to understand the feedback properly so I could learn from my mistakes, but instead, I felt that my concerns were brushed aside. When I questioned the feedback, the instructor, Ikram Bhatti, became extremely disrespectful and snapped at me. I found this completely inappropriate, especially when I was simply asking reasonable questions about my test.

The owner was also informed about the situation, but unfortunately, I felt that instead of addressing my concerns fairly, he sided with the instructor. This made the whole experience even more frustrating, as I felt that my concerns as a paying student were not being taken seriously.

A good driving school should be transparent about all costs, communicate important information in advance, take examiner feedback seriously, and treat students with respect. If there is an additional charge, students should be clearly informed beforehand and given an explanation of exactly what they are paying for.

Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this driving school, particularly if you value transparency, clear communication, and respectful treatment. I genuinely regret choosing this school and would encourage anyone considering it to do their research carefully before booking.

lovely driving school no awkwardness either loved learning with them

Today, I successfully passed my UK driving test on the first attempt. I would like to express my sincere thanks to my instructor, Mr. Sarfraz Hussain, and BSD Driving School for their excellent guidance and support.
Mr. Sarfraz is highly professional, and his teaching methods are truly effective. His explanations were clear, thorough, and extremely helpful in improving my driving skills and preparing me to pass the test on my first attempt. The advance lesson reminders were also very helpful in managing my busy schedule.
I am very pleased with my experience and would highly recommend Mr. Sarfraz Hussain and BSD Driving School to anyone looking for quality driving instruction.
Thank you once again, and I wish you all the very best.

I did 8 hours driving with Malathy last week only and I passed my driving test today I would 100% recommend she is amazing

Mazhar is an amazing instructor - patient, professional and timely. He would send a reminder the day before our lessons as well. BSD also sends you separate reminder for your tests and lessons- overall the experience is seamless. They are reasonably priced as well for the area. I passed my test and I would like to thank Mazhar for his help, teaching and flexibility throughout.

I want to thank my instructor Basharat, he was an amazing instructor he helped me pass my test, he is extremely patient and professional.
Unfortunately I had another instructor Saeed Nasir he was rude demanded payment of up to 3 or 4 lessons in advance. He shouted at me on a few occasions whilst driving, I’m not paying an instructor to verbally abuse me. He cancelled lessons because I had cancelled one previously, a very vindictive man.
Choose your instructor carefully, we pay for a professional service. Basharat is the best for Morden lessons.

I have passed my driving test today's morning and I want to thanks to my instructor Waseem. He is a good teacher and hard worker as well. I appreciate to him for his hard working. If any of my family members and friends want to learn driving I will recommend them for Waseem.
Thank you 😊

It's a great experience with BSD driving school.Waseem was my driving instructor.what a great trainer he is.I was told my problem and their solution and lot of encouragement.I am very happy I passed my test with only 1 driving fault.

My Grandfather has been learning from Masin, and says he was patient and very good at teaching. He passed his driving lesson today!

Simply it's best driving school.yeasterday I passed with one minor Mr Waseem the best instructor he helps me a lot to pass my test thank u so so much

I recently passed my driving test on 27th July, and I'm thrilled to share that it was a faultless pass—no majors, no minors! But getting here wasn't easy.
I had previously attempted the test twice at Morden test centre and couldn’t clear it. So I contacted BSD Driving School to book another test—ideally at Morden. Unfortunately, the booking was made for West Wickham, and I didn't notice the change in the message at first, simply giving a thumbs-up.
Once I realised the test location, I expressed my concern to BSD. The owner responded with encouragement, saying I knew the rules and would pass this time. Though I wasn't fully happy at first, I continued with the lessons.
My instructor, Sayed Kazmi, deserves special mention—his patience, calm teaching style, and deep understanding helped me build confidence right when I needed it most. I took a final lesson on the day of the test, and to my surprise, I passed with absolutely no faults.
BSD Driving School genuinely goes the extra mile for their students. Despite the initial hiccups, they stayed supportive, responsive, and professional throughout. I now recommend them wholeheartedly.
Thank you BSD—and thank you, Sayed—for helping me succeed!

Thanks to BSD. Specially thanks to Mr Waseem bro. I took few lesson from him. He is the best trainer for proper guide. Always he gave me instruction with passion. I passed today with one mistake.

I would definitely recommend Waseem. I previously struggled with feeling very anxious before and during driving lessons but Waseem was always calm and patient with me, making me feel relaxed and actually enjoy the driving process. Waseem also taught me how to adapt to different situations on the road, preparing me for real world driving not just only how to pass a test. Genuinely an excellent driving instructor.

Very good experience with the instructor
Ahmad, and he really help me with instructions to pass my exam.

Thank you M.S, you are an amazing instructor, I had a 4hrs lesson with him on my test day since i haven’t had any lesson on my main test area, it was worth it. I was being reminded of my upcoming lesson, pick up point and time and was always on time. I passed with 3 minors. Thank you again M.S. i will recommend BSD for test at Redhill and environs…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Waseem Chatha! Amazing Instructor – Highly Recommend!

He was incredibly patient, clear, and supportive throughout my driving lessons. He helped me build confidence quickly and made every session feel calm and productive. Thanks to his great teaching, I passed my test with zero faults and feel ready to drive solo. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Instructor: waseem Ahmed chatha
Its was very fantastic learning experience, encouraging, roundabout, correct choose of lane, position, correct mirror checking, steering control, speed control, manoeuvres was so well explained, tips overall was so useful that I passesd today I am so happy 😁 I did it😁

I had my refresher lessons with Kwabena Ohene-Offei and I must say that I always had to message him back for a lesson. He would never message me asking my availability plus he kept cancelling the lessons to the point he stopped replying to my messages when I was only asking him if he was available for a lesson the next day.
First time with BSD and I wouldn’t recommended this driving school to anyone.
“BSD - Best School of Driving” - that’s just a big lie !

I had Shafqat Ahmed as my driving instructor for 5 lessons. I found him very condescending and rude and never felt calm during the lessons. He would constantly patronise me with unnecessary commentary when I made a small mistake on the road, making me even more nervous to drive.

A few times, he would cancel half an hour before the lesson with no explanation and without rescheduling which I found extremely unprofessional on his part.

I hope this is taken into consideration and other student has to endure driving lessons the way I did.

My first refresher course with BSD driving school and after having had lessons with RED driving Company ,i must say this was a let down, appreciated the theory side of the lessons because i did learn few things to be honest ,but by Golly , BSD please encourage your instructors to wash and brush teeth ,when giving the first lesson in the morning, with price of eye watering £80 per 2 hours , the least you could do is provide complimentary bar of soap/shower gel ,colgate , toothbrush and a aftershave or deodorant to your instructors which wouldn't go a miss , having to listen to lessons with foul breath is enough to never ever book with you again . Honestly speaking, did learn some good stuff but ,please encourage or teach about personal hygiene to your instructors 👌 👍 🙌
