Atlantic Driving School of Florida, Inc. began in Polk County in the fall of 1995 by a 1992 SCCA East Coast Regional Rallye champion. Realizing the lack of structured Driver Education in Polk Co. at the time, he decided to offer something different by incorporating his rallye Point of Reference methods into Behind-the Wheel drivers education. Sixteen years later that point of reference method of instruction is alive and well.

Rick and Dennis - absolutely amazing instructor and tester. I’ve driven in Ireland for 10 years + and learned things I never knew. Rick was patient, friendly and so supportive. He gave me fantastic tips on how to reverse and park. Dennis was also super friendly and put me at ease through the test. The atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming at the driving school and Samantha was so helpful with questions too. So happy I went here for instruction and testing. Highly highly recommend!

It was a great experience! Wally was my instructor and he couldn't have been more kind, very understanding and witty. After the test he told me areas where I could improve and even during the test commended me when I took his advice. Answered all my questions PLUS some. I felt like I was riding with a friend just as much as an instructor. I highly recommend going if you're an anxious person like myself. I'd give them a dozen stars if I could! Passed on my first go.

This place is so terrible. I went here to take my test and saw these people having a obvious distain for women. I literally got passed with 25 infractions, as a straight white man, knocked the parking bumper out of the way and got yelled at. Had a family member come in to take a test (she literally drove here by the way, ) she as a women got failed because the driver wouldn't give her clear instructions, asked her to take turns, dangerously too late. AND THE WORST PART, when we got back they separated her from her family and took her to the back to patronize her.
It was really creepy and unsettling having two grown men take a young woman to the back so that we couldn't see them and wouldn't let her leave until she admitted she was wrong. this place is disgusting, and what they're doing should be illegal.

I got my drivers license last week, and it's all because of Atlantic Driving School and my instructor, Marco. I was apprehensive about being behind the wheel before I started, but by the last lesson I felt very comfortable. The best part (in my opinion) is that I took the road test with the school, so I didn't have to worry about nerves or taking a different course.
The behind-the-wheel, learn-as-you-go process fits my learning style perfectly, and the balance between on-the-road, everyday life stuff and road test stuff is just great. I'll definitely be recommending this school to anyone who needs their license. Thank you, Florida Atlantic Driving School!
