Reviews of James Island Driving School (Driving School)

Mia Lassiter

Ms. Penny was my driving instructor. She was an excellent teacher and very pleasant to spend time with. I feel more confidant on the road because of her keen attention to safety and cautious driving skills. Thank you, Ms. Penny!

These guys are not only experienced, but they make your experience with them worth it. I would always look forward to driving with this school because of their amazing hospitality. Would want everyone to come here.

I started at 911 with the eight hour class, but it really was too far away to take the lessons there. So I came to James Island kinda bummed to start over with a new group... turns out I loved James Island Driving and wished I had started there from the beginning! It's a nice family-owned business, and they treat you like family, too. Penny was my instructor and I LOVE her. If you can get Penny as your instructor, you've struck gold. She explains everything so well and makes you feel so comfortable. She gave me so much confidence in myself, and I know I wouldn't be as good as a driver without all her teaching and support. Getting your license as a new driver is so stressful because nobody wants to fail... you need an awesome driving school in order to have a decent chance of passing the first time. This school wants you to do well. They care about you. They have fun with you. And they give you the confidence to know you can do it! Penny, you are the best!

I highly recommend James Island driving school. Mr. Fralix was a great instructor, he helped me calm my nerves when taking the driving test. Thanks to Mr. Fralix’s instruction I am now a SC licensed driver!

This morning the JIDS driver entered the McDonald's drive-through sideways, and sat there actually blocking the exit lane waiting to get into the line. He then left without even using his blinker to get around a car parked at the end. Careless and inconsiderate driving is bad enough on its own, but when someone purporting to be a driving instructor does this, while actually driving around in a vehicle with _James Island Driving School_ painted everywhere, it takes a special kind of cluelessness. The worst part is that we actually looked at these guys for our teenager to take classes from. Now that's not going to happen.

I’ve had two teenagers now go through James Island Driving School - both new drivers in 2019 - and I can’t thank JIDS enough. Their instructors are top-notch. The kids feel comfortable & confident. The location was very convenient for us - but they will also meet your teen at home or school (or wherever is convenient) to start the drives. Just yesterday I saw one of their JIDS cars in front of a local high school waiting for their teen driver client. How convenient! Both of my teens had Penny & she is fabulous.

I personally loved James Island Driving School. Anthoney was my instructor and he is so good. I recently passed my road test about 3 weeks ago. This is the driving school to send your kids to!

Working with James Island was a terrific experience. Both instructors were calm and thorough. They took their time with my student and me. During the training process, there was contructive feedback and follow up/ practice recommendations. My daughter passed the test her first time!

Adam Tullius

The owners and Instructors are extremely knowledgeable. They are calm and courteous and can answer so many questions. They are always open to helping anyone who may need assistance. This is by far the best school out there for young and older drivers. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!

James Island Driving School is the best driving school in the lowcountry. I personally came all the way from Summerville to get my Driver's Ed here, because the reputation of JI was far above any of the other local ones. If you or your child are looking for an "easy" driving school where they take you through the Taco Bell drive through and don't actually give you good lessons, then i would not recommend here. But Anthony, as a former accident scene investigator will take you through Folly Beach, downtown, Kiawah Island, i-26, and give lessons, stories, and advice the entire way regarding real-world driving situations. I passed the DMV driving test at the end of the week, with the highest score of the entire week thanks to Anthony and James Island Driving School.

We love James Island Driving School! Our daughter recently attended the Drives Ed Class, and took the SCDMV Drivers Test with them as well. The class instruction was on point, and the driving instructor helped develop our daugter's driving skills tremendously! Thank you for getting our girl safely on the road!

This is the best driving school. They make it so simple and prepared both of my teenagers well for driving. I cannot recommend them enough! Anthony was a terrific driving instructor.

I am so impressed with this company. After my son took the course, I was able to relax and not worry about his driving as much. They even picked him up at our house. Love these guys!

Asia Jenkins

I had the best experience my instructor Anthony Jr was amazing and taught me everything I needed to know. When I took my test I had Mrs. Penny and she was so nice and so sweet and had the best smile. Great driving school and amazing people.

When training students on 526 teach them to stay in the right lane except when passing and not to make erratic lane changes in front of other cars. Following you this morning was a bit disconcerting.
