The premier driver education company in Indiana that helps everyone achieve the freedom to drive. Drive Zone is the premier driver education company in Indiana. We are dedicated to saving lives through high quality, year-round driver education programs. Our classroom curriculum is an outstanding and modern program presented by instructors experienced in Drive Zone's elite Driver Education training.
Students 15 years of age will be required by the BMV to present a Certificate of Enrollment or CDE before taking the test to earn their permit. While many schools may require you to jump through a series of hoops to get this paperwork, Drive Zone greatly values the additional practice time that becomes available to you once you have the permit.
The following are commonly asked questions on the procedures and rules regarding our driver education program. If the student is 15 at the time registration, we will issue you a CDE form (Certificate of enrollment) that they will need to obtain their Driver Education Learner Permit. You will typically receive this from us via email within 24 hours of your enrollment. Once you have received the certificate from us, the student will be allowed by the BMV to take the written test to obtain their permit.
The process for getting your Indiana Driver's License isn't always completely straight forward, but the good news is that you don't have to go it alone. We will be here to guide you every step of the way. The biggest variable in the process is the age at which you or your child chooses to begin. The State of Indiana will allow you to begin Driver Education as soon as your 15th birthday.

Drive Zone has been amazing for my son to do his in-person driving simulator (which is pretty cool and I got to try it out myself), his online classes, the driving lessons and finally the road test exam through the school instead of at the BMV. Steve has gone above and beyond my expectations and was so accommodating to extending time due to my son's procrastination during his online classes (work/high school/driver's ed balance).
The drive instructors were all great. Of the 12 drives, my son had two instructors for most of it and two others for two other drives and he was comfortable with all them - more than he is with me as a rider. LOL The instructors taught the same core principals but they each brought their own experiences to the lessons. I honestly cannot praise Drive Zone, Steve or his instructors enough.
I would highly recommend and if I had other children would put them through the school as well. I am not paid for this review, nor did I receive compensation for it. Thank you Steve! Jim

I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND Drive Zone to anyone. They are here ONLY to take your money. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND STILL WANT TO HIRE THEM FOR DRIVING LESSONS, YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY WILL TAKE YOUR PAYMENT TODAY AND SCHEDULE CLASSES 3 OR 4 MONTHS LATER. IF YOU CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WANTING TO LEARN TO DRIVE, PLEASE USE SOCIAL MEDIA for everybody to know.

I thought of getting lessons from this driving school as I've seen 4.5 stars in some reviews but I guess I should have researched further. No way in their website that you would know how long behind the wheel driving lessons schedule will take. After paying and getting access to my site dashboard the earliest behind the wheel I can schedule is 3 months later with very few slots left.
I email them if they can do an earlier schedule for me but only got a reply after 2 days after sending them several text and emails. But still they're not able to give me specific dates. They say they'll give me a slot as soon as somebody cancels a slot. So who knows how long? The sad thing is I also included an online course even though I don't need it just because I want to have a waived driving test.
They finally agreed to cancel my subscription but deducted $100 for the online course that I don't really need. Beware, think twice before enrolling their behind the wheel lessons schedule sucks.

I can't say enough good things about this place, from day one they continued to impress me with how hands on, punctual and thorough they are. The staff was very accommodating with my scheduling, and my instructor Rachel Is the best human being you will ever meet! she corrected my driving problems in just two lessons and after 6 i was ready and fully equipped to take and pass my drivers test. I had a great experience. Thank you Drive zone indy.

I definitely recommend Drive Zone. I have taught all my older children to drive but now just didn't have as much time so sent my 15 year old to Drive Zone. He was surprisingly very comfortable with the instructors. He said he appreciated that they were calm and reassuring and they were always very clear in their instructions. I have never had a problem getting a hold of any of them.
My phone messages and e- mails were always answered promptly. My son is now an EXCELLENT driver and as a parent that fact makes me worry much less. Because he attended drive zone we will also recieve a discount on our insurance. It was also affordable enough that he was able to pay for it himself with his part time job. Total win. The 2 girls I have here at home will also attend Drive Zone because of their brothers positive experience.

Before I started my lessons with Drive Zone I was terrified of being behind the wheel but the second I started my lessons with Bob I lost that fear! Bob did a great job teaching me all of the fundamentals and helping me improve each lesson. I just completed my last lesson with him this evening and I feel very confident with my driving skills because of him.
Thank you Bob! I also have to say thank you to Stephen for being able to work with my tight schedule as I do work full time. He responded to my emails as soon as he could and was very friendly each time we spoke! Thank you Drive Zone!

I had an awesome experience learning driving from drive zone. The instructors are very professional. My instructor Rachel is amazing. Her teaching style is perfect for beginners like me. 6 classes are enough but you need to have practice other than these. She covered all the necessary things like interstate, downtown, parallel parking. This is worth the money spent, going to sign up for online lessons too :) :)

Steven went above and beyond to help me schedule drives and drive test for my daughter. Thank you Steve the drive instructor for helping Karlee develop enough confidence behind the wheel to be the best defensive driver she can be. Thank you very much Rachel for coming out on a Friday evening, in nasty weather to make sure Karlee got to take her driving test and for helping me with all the paperwork we will need to get her license. You guys are the BEST!!!

Recommend to new drivers and drivers who need more tips and practice. Instructors super professional and better yet knowledgable. If you are on the fence of if you should do it or not, JUST DO IT! They put my daughter at ease and then taught her many important skills and gave us tips for practice at home!

Since I had prior driving experience, I took the one hour class at Drive Zone to brush up the skills. The driving instructor, Rachel was very patient and professional. The parallel parking trick was very useful. I cleared the Driving Skills exam on May 15th. Praise the Lord! Thanks to Drive Zone for helping me gain the confidence and clear the exam.
