Absolutely loved my time with Hazel's. I picked the driving school for sentimental purposes and I'm so glad I did! I had a fantastic instructor in Ian and I couldn't of asked for anyone better! My lessons were fun and instructive and I loved every single lesson. I'll continue to recommend Ian to absolutely everyone who's wanting to learn how to drive to drive. He's going to be very busy.

Fantastic from start to finish. Learning to drive during a pandemic certainly hasn't been easy but the whole experience was made better by having an amazing instructor (Ian). Patient, reliable & friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn to drive!

I achieved a first time pass with this fantastic school. My instructor Dave was first class. I could not fault his professionalism and his attitude. He was always helpful and encouraging. I feel confident going out on my own after learning with Hazel's.

Hazels driving school are an outstanding company. I passed first time with the help from a lovely instructor, who dealt with my low confidence with driving. She showed patience and persistence and without her I would have most likely given up. Hazels are easy to get in touch with and always there to help with any enquiries, and the option for male or female are given on the first point of contact, to ensure your desires are met. They are all extremely professional and I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else. I have not one fault, I can't thank them enough! They are there every step of the way.

Despite being reluctant to learn at first, my instructor Mike, made driving such a positive learning expierence for me. Mike's calm demeanour and easy going yet firm instructing, made me feel incredibly safe and comfortable under his instruction. His consideration and patience made it much easier for me to concentrate and always put me at ease, as he put no pressure on me to rush. His reciprocal way of teaching means that he will listen to and consider what you need to practise most.
In scheduling driving lessons he's always reliable and felixlbe to his utmost effort. I also knew that no matter what, as an instructor he would persevere with me until I got my full license. Thank you so much Hazels Motorschool! With your help I've now gained an additional life skill, opening doors for the future and further oppurtunities. I couldn't recommend enough!

Hazels are amazing. My wonderful instructor got to know how I like to learn and taught me in a way that was helpful and fun. This wasn't my first attempt at my test but Jude was fantastic and helped me with my nerves. She was there every step of the way with my test and I couldn't be anymore grateful I can't recommend this driving school enough.

Having spoken to both National Motor Schools and One Man Bands I was so impressed by the sheer professionalism of Thea, the Owner, who took my call. She listened carefully to my requirements and promised to get back to me same day with a plan. This she did. I went on to take a course of lessons with Alan and duly passed! How refresshing to deal with such people, they really did care. A Big Thank You to all at Hazels! Dave Wilson (Prenton)

I recently passed with Mike and oh my god he is amazing! Put up with all my tantrums, meltdowns and still had faith in me. I've been to a few driving schools before but never felt so at ease with Hazels. Even though I've passed, I am actually going to miss my driving lessons.

I can't thank Hazels motorschool enough. My instructor Jeff has been amazing. From the start i was a very nervous pupil with no confidence in fact i was scared to death! Jeff has been a very understanding and supportive instructor. I have no doubt i have been one of his most challenging pupils. I have had "i can't do this " moments quite a few times during my lessons but Jeff always believed i could do it.
I would urge anyone who reads this and feels like they would like to learn but are lacking in confidence to have a try with Hazels. Honestly try them, stick with it even when you have a bad day. We all do. But i really believe if i can pass my test which i did on my 3rd attempt today you can do it to. Again a massive thanks to Jeff i couldn't have asked for a better instructo
