Berkeley Driving School 4154 MacArthur Boulevard, Oakland, CA 94619

"If renting this service purely for a DMV test, make sure you check what car will be brought to you and if you're comfortable with it. The instructor also kept trying to get out of the pick up and drop off rides promised by this service and was quoting much longer times than was necessary. Communication was scattered texts and 0 communication day off."

"I want to express my utmost gratitude to Amber Rose, my driving school teacher, for her exceptional teaching skills and unwavering support before my behind-the-wheel test. Her patience and clear instructions gave me the confidence I needed to pass the test successfully. I highly recommend Amber Rose to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled driving instructor."

"Berkeley Driving School is the best! This review is for Amber. She’s patient and understanding. A great communicator - she’ll draw diagrams, give you acronyms, anything to help you take in the information. She’s knowledgable, experienced, adaptable - all the things you want in an instructor. Above all, she has a wonderfully positive attitude and uses her background in psychology to build up your confidence. So encouraging. Never pushy. I kept taking lessons with her beyond the point of passing my driving test simply because I learned so much from her each lesson. The owner of Berkeley Driving School is very cool, so I can only imagine other instructors are as good as Amber, although though this review is specifically about my experience with her."

"Very convenient and helpful service! I was able to schedule an appointment within the week of calling. I needed a vehicle to take the drivers test at DMV but I hadn't driven in some time. I was able to request an additional hour before the test to brush up on my skills since it had been considerable time since I had been behind the wheel. Lule was my instructor and she was incredibly helpful, insightful, and most of all stress free. (S.M.O.G.!) Long story short I passed the test and I was very excited and happy with the results. Also, for this service I paid $150 which I thought was somewhat pricey until I researched other services who charge WAY more for this same service. I found places charging $300 - $500 for the same service -- that's a lot. Yeah I think ill just pay the $150 instead! I must mention that im a middle aged person who had gone to drivers school way back in high school and had my drivers permit a number of times but just never got around to taking the drivers test for a number of reasons. I've driven a number of times in the past so the hour of prep time with the instructor, Lule, was very much a refresher. Of course if you have never driven before then you will need much more time behind the wheel, but definitely a service that they provide. If your situation is similar to mine, I HIGHLY recommend this service. Or, you know, pay $500 elsewhere"

"I have only had my first lesson and already have to leave a review. Amber Rose is excellent--so patient, clear, thorough, and understanding! I mentioned that I was nervous to learn, and she went at a perfect pace for me, checking in with me frequently. Highly recommend, well worth the price. Looking forward to my next lesson!"
