Streetwise Driver Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great driving school
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended for beginner and intermediate learners, my instructor Sharum must have the biggest heart of gold I've ever seen in anyone. Thanks you so much guys
Fantastic experience: Jodie was an amazing instructor who helped me pass on the first go. She is very patient, kind and gives great guidance when driving. Definitely recommend her :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. The team helped an NDIS participant of mine achieve his goal of getting his drivers license. He couldn't have done it without their support and dedication. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: All instructors that I had where very encouraging and easy to work with, very pleased with my experience! Thanks Giuseppe and Bill!
Positive experience: Sharum was so gentle and supportive for driving lesson and advice before a driving test for my son to relax and be confident. We really appreciate her and definitely recommend to our friends !!! Thank you Sharum
Fantastic experience: If you live in Robina/nerang area and need manual lessons ask for Giuseppe, he was brilliant, fun and got our daughter through her test. Critiques were consistent and positive. Thank you Giuseppe.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Streetwise and especially Phill for making the whole experience enjoyable and being supportive and informative throughout all of the lessons!
Fantastic experience: Street wise and the instructors are very helpful they are extremely knowledgeable about what u need to know. I’m absolutely happy with everything
Fantastic experience: Trish helped me pass my test first try! Appreciate her support and tips so much, definitely couldn’t have done it without her
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Danielle, a fabulous instructor and went over and above for my daughter. Such a blessing having a dedicated instructor that takes her role and responsibilities seriously. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Trish was absolutely amazing, The words haven’t even been invented yet to describe how great she is at what she does, a mother figure while driving and really shows she wants her students to strive to be the best and safest drivers knowing everything to do and not to do on the roads, passed first go with the help of a brilliant instructor who was just as if not more happier than I was getting my license haha!
Fantastic experience: Danielle was awesome, my daughter is a 'nervous Nellie' and Danielle was great in getting her focused and helping her get the job done, first attempt. I would definitely recommend Streetwise, always on time, great vehicles and very easy to deal with.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving school on the Gold Coast, lots of professional instructors and a variety of days and times to choose from. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Streetwise, and especially Greg, for making it such an easy and enjoyable experience for Liam. He very much looked forward to his lessons with Greg. Greg was thorough but relaxed, putting Liam completely at ease. Liam was able to pass his Test on the first try. I also found their website for booking/cancelling lessons really easy to use. Thank you so much for being so good and supportive to Liam (& Danielle!).
Fantastic experience: So happy we chose Streetwise for our daughter. Adam and Phil gave her the confidence and guidance needed to help her successfully gain her driver's licence.
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test thanks to the wonderful Phil! He was so kind, caring and very informative. The value of the packages are worth your weight in gold. The school knows some of the instructors and knows what routes they usually take during the test which allowed my nerves to settle. Pick this school over any others and if Phil is still there see if you can have him as your teacher. He’s the best. Would go through this school again
Fantastic experience: We would like to Thank Adam for his amazing kindness he showed our daughter Madison during the lessons and communication he had with myself in regards to Madi. Highly recommend Adam from Streetwise Driver Training. Thank you ADAM
Fantastic experience: Thanks Dave for the most weird but educational and fun lessons, you're the reason i passed first try.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend streetwise enough, Danielle is absolutely amazing! It’s because of her I now have the freedom to do what I need to do with my life! I am almost 30 with 3 young children and never finished my licence due to medical reasons. I got medically cleared for my licence in 2015 and it’s now 2022. After leaving it so long I was terrified of driving and Danielle made me feel so comfortable and eased my nerves every lesson she reassured me and helped me find the confidence in myself that I never thought I would find. Not only did I gain a licence I gained a friend. All of the people at streetwise including admin staff are absolutely beautiful people and super helpful. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thanks guys ❤️
Fantastic experience: My experience was really great. When I started I was really nervous when driving with Danielle and she helped me at a slow pace getting to know the steering wheel, the gears and the pedals. If I was too nervous or if I accidentally stalled or put the gear stick in the wrong gear she would help me and do it for me. After driving with her for while I really gained my confidence because she motivated me and told me to believe in myself and that I could do it. Her encouragement was amazing and she is so patient! I wish everyone could have such a great introduction to driving!
Fantastic experience: I’d like to say a big thank you to Greg as he was cool calm and collected and a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation with highly recommending him to others.
Fantastic experience: I got recommended to use Streetwise by a friend and have never once regretted it. The staff and instructors here are amazing, and very understanding in my struggles with left and right directions and anxieties about everything driving related. I got my manual drivers licence with them!!! I had Dan as my instructor and would highly recommend him, he has a great sense of wry humour haha and quickly got me driving around and understanding what skills and manoeuvres are needed, and what to look out for. Most importantly he never yelled or got dismissive of my concerns unlike other instructors I've had in the past. I ended up looking forward to lessons every time even if it was super early in the morning and I'm a night owl. They were quick to communicate any changes (W covid guideline stuff, or scheduling such as if a class was cancelled), gave reminders before the day that I had a lesson coming up, and clarify any questions about payment and what options were available- I recommend getting the bulk packs which let you get a discount! I'm much more confident in my driving abilities and this skill will serve me for the rest of my life, thankyou very much Streetwise:)
Fantastic experience: got the bro instructor dan and i learned how to do every manoeuvre in 2 months, my sister went with instructor alan and she passed her Ps test first try, my whole family has gone with this company and i plan on putting my kids with this company, amazing experience
Negative experience: Stole my parking spot then wanted to fight me.
Positive experience: Danielle was fantastic. She allowed me to make mistakes and learn from them. It felt like she was reading my mind. She was always one step ahead. She was supportive, patient and helped me build up my confidence.
Fantastic experience: i love danielle from streetwise !!! she is so calm and easy going and makes driving a stress-free task. as well as always making me feel confident in my driving and helping me excel all the essential skills ❤️❤️ highly recommended her ☺️
Fantastic experience: Been taking my lessons with Danielle and have loved every minute of it. I've learned so much about driving and have had the best time while doing it. I've been able to build up my confidence and feel comfortable with driving in various environments. Highly recommend Streetwise Driver Training
Fantastic experience: No hesitation with recommending Streetwise Driver Training. So much patience, kindness, & understanding - and ssssooooo helpful with every question and request. For most kids, getting your Ps is a rite of passage, but for others, who have struggled to match their peers throughout their lives for all sorts of reasons and conditions - getting your licence is a HUGE achievement. Streetwise have specialised knowledge, strategies and instructors to help these kids achieve this life-changing milestone. The boost to the kids' confidence and self esteem is immeasurable. Special thanks to Liz, David and Alan
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Adam he's the best he taught me everything in just one Hour before the test and i passed it on first attempt... Fully recommended 5 stars ADAM is Best...
Fantastic experience: Such a professional and friendly service, Danielle was fast to put my anxious mind at ease, and in just one lesson I progressed more than *years* of learning beforehand. Passed my test first time around under Danielle's careful and kind instruction, so so happy I invested in these lessons! Easy to book, car is always clean, and such a professional service.
Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Alan and Liz enough for what they have done for me! I I wasn’t sure I would ever drive due to being so anxious but they have given me the confidence and I’m even driving manual! I honestly cannot recommend them enough! I’m so glad I chose them!
Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to the team at Streetwise who helped our daughter pass her driving test. Special thanks to the amazing Alan who patiently got her through her lessons and prepared her for a first time pass. Shout out to the lovely Danielle and David who stepped in to help as we tried to cram in the last few lessons when we brought the test forward. Lastly and by no means least a very special thank you to the lovely, patient and kind Liz! Thank you Liz for all the moving and changing and updates in the system and your kindness in calming down a stressed-out mum! Highly recommend Streetwise!
Fantastic experience: Great instructors, very informative, very patient.
Thanks for the feedback, so happy for you!
Fantastic experience: I took 5 lessons with Danielle Smith to polish my manual car driving skills and I am very happy with the result. Danielle is very pleasant and friendly, she's like a good friend sitting on the passenger seat and gave me lots of positive encouragement. I highly recommend Danielle and Streetwise Driver Training. Thank you.
Thanks for the great review, we love Danielle too, she is wonderful!
Fantastic experience: I got my Australian open license in first attempt, I am so happy by choosing the street wise driver training. They trained me in one lesson. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great driving school, could not ask for a better lot of instructors. Have encouraged and calmly taken one daughter through her manual license, will definitely use again with the other 2 kids
Thanks Sue :) we are so proud of Niah!!
Fantastic experience: Passed my test at first go! It was very easy to communicate and book in appointments with the team. Julie was invested in my success and safety and I definitely feel more confident on the road with their training.
Fantastic experience: I completed my training last month, and went on to pass my test after half a dozen lessons with 2/8 minor errors. Before beginning my lessons, I had absolutely no idea about how to do almost all the manoeuvres with the correct technique (or at all). Alan, Jason, and Julie were all very patient instructors, and I got along well with them all, making for a comfortable and encouraging environment, even when I couldn't manage to learn how to do something correctly. I completely botched my practice test (Can't even begin to explain how badly I did. I was so nervous for some reason), but Alan stayed calm and helped me manage it, and I went on to do quite well in the test. Would definitely recommend Streetwise Driver Training.
Thanks for great feedback, we are so happy for you! Enjoy your driving freedom :)
Fantastic experience: I finally passed my driving test this morning and its all thanks to Streetwise!! They are such an amazing driving school with great driving instructors. I would highly recommend!! Thank you Streetwise
We are so thrilled for you XXX
Fantastic experience: Streetwise is easily the best driving school on the Gold Coast. After bouncing between a few driving school over the 3 years of having my L's and having a horrible experience at another school, doing lessons with Jason took all the anxiety I had when driving away. Jason is a very calm and patient instructor and is very good at explaining all the maneuvers and how to drive safely. I passed my P's test first go and I never would of been able to do it without Jason, I highly recommend Streetwise to everyone.
We are absolutely thrilled for you Kyle, enjoy your driving freedom x
Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving school and great instructors. Cars are great and my daughter loved being able to have a female instructor. She felt comfortable and confident straight away. They are very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Well priced. Highly recommended!
Thanks so much, we are so thrilled for her xx
Fantastic experience: Professional and very experience intstructor Cheryl - she made me feel calm and confident. After 4 lessons I was ready to go and passed my practical test without a signle note from the instructor. The team is very time efficient with allocating lessons to the time suitable for the client. Thank you so much!
We are so happy for Regina :)
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Streetwise Driver Training. They were extremely professional, keeping us updated at all times with emails, text messages and phone calls. I cannot praise Alan enough, he was a wonderful instructor, very patient and supportive. Thank you for helping Jake pass his driving test.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous and patient instructors, lovely car and great customer service. Thanks for all the help your instructor gave to both of my kids to get them on the road.
Fantastic experience: I cannot stress enough how professional and supportive everyone from Streetwise has been. A special thank you to Alan, an excellent incstructor and so accommodating. I am a visual learner so he happily took out the whiteboard and drew to explain certain road rules etc, and I passed my test on the first go. I highly recommend to anyone who is getting their licence. Thank you Streetwise!
Thanks for the kind review. We are so happy for you Emelie, Congratulations & Take care from the Team at Streetwise
Fantastic experience: What an awesome driving school from day one they were awesome fitting me in and caring about helping me to get me back into driving again as for I had back surgery’s and have a disability now but that wasn’t an issue Jason got my confidence up and we practiced untill I was ready then went for test and passed thanks to Jason and everyone there at streetwise driving
Positive experience: Wow what a fantastic ride i have had with Brooke and her team. 3 years ago my son started with streetwise and had really great time learning how to drive a manual and successfully past first go, this time round it was my daughter's turn and even tho they are so different the result was still the same, jordaine past her manual license today first time. So after 3years streetwise are still the same and give the same results no matter how a child can learn, observe and take in, Brooke and her team adjust too your needs .Highly recommend. Love your work streetwise, KEEPING IT REAL ❤
Negative experience: Saw a car giving the finger to the car behind them whilst teaching a young girl to drive today... wow... does not look good for the company!
Fantastic experience: Alan great instructor, Jed great KTD lesson, Laura in office so friendly and on the ball.
We are thrilled for Kaleb, Thank you for the great feedback Cheree x
Negative experience: Think it’s quite bad that a driving instructor from this school was tailgating people whilst going atleast 20km over the speed limit whilst in a car with this companies name on it.
Fantastic experience: I failed three times in my driving test at Beenleigh centre. Then I changed to Helensvale. I know I am one of the difficult students: I was anxious, panic and maladaptive. However, I met Roxanne from Streetwise driving school. She is amazing, she knows learner's psychology and can make me calm. I had 5 lessons with Roxanne, she always arrived in time. She showed me all the tricky routes in Helensvale. She is very experienced and responsible instructor professional. I failed first time in Helensvale because of over nervous. When I was going my second time driving test at Helensvale, Roxanne encouraged me, then I got it. How hard it is! A woman at age 49, had been learnig driving for 6 months, at fifth attempt, I got it. I strongly recommend Streetwise driving school in Gold coast. I believe Streetwise driving school is one of the best driving school in Australia and top driving school in Gold coast. As they said on their website,"Cheap driving lessons are not value for your money", Streetwise driving school provides quality and valuable lessons to all students, put endless efforts on its training.
We are so happy for you, take care x
Fantastic experience: My experience was very good with these instructors, they are patient and understanding, would definitely recommend! Had 1 lesson and got my P's straight after =D
Thanks so much for your great feedback
Fantastic experience: Brooke and the Team at streetwise were amazing through out my whole learning to drive experience, Brooke always made learning to drive so much fun and easier than I bthought er though it could be, if you are looking for a driving instructor I definitely suggest Street Wise Training, they are the best!
Thanks so much Kasey, we are so proud of you x
Fantastic experience: Definitely would recommend this to anyone who might have a bit of nerves of getting behind the wheel for the first time. Another plus is that they are extremely patient and treat you almost like family, even the small talk during your lesson goes a long way of helping you relax and focus on driving.
Hope you are loving your independence 'Brandon X'
Fantastic experience: My daughter was very stressed whilst learning to drive. Brooke took great care in teaching her to drive and successfully obtaining her manual licence first go.
Thanks so much for the great Feedback X
Fantastic experience: A great driving school with amazing and patient instructors. Highly recommend to anyone.
Well done Michelle - you did SO well passing first time, we are all so proud of you! Enjoy the freedom that having your licence will bring you :)

Fantastic experience: Brooke and her team were always amazing when i was learning to drive. From one of my first times on the road to being there for when i passed my P's test with a clear sheet. I would recommend Streetwise to anyone and everyone. Thanks again Brooke!!!
Ahhh Amber our pleasure - you were an awesome student! So glad you are up and running so well as a Solo driver. Wishing you all the successes you deserve - from Me and the Team :) x

Thanks Wade - glad you are up and running on your own now - you must be loving it - so great to have the freedom to go where you want when you want right! look forward to waving hello out there on the roads when we pass each other ! :)
Fantastic experience: I used Streetwise to upgrade from my auto to manual licence. Brooke was a pleasure to deal with and rapidly got me in for lessons and my test. I received lessons from Brooke, Brad and Sonia and found them all excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Streetwise to anyone who wants a professionally run (but also fun!) driving school.
Ahhhh thanks Sarah! So glad you were able to get it all done before heading off again, it was a pleasure to be able to help! All the best for your future! Regards, Brooke
Negative experience: Brooke came on our facebook page, describing us as a "learning disorder" and linked us to their site, which lists Aspergian and Autistic people as "special needs," which is untrue, and is a defamatory and stigmatising misrepresentation of AS people. I very politely explained to Brooke; that it's ignorant to view Aspergian or Autistic people as special needs, and not an accurate representation, but she instead withdrawals from the conversation and didn't want to talk about it. The defamatory comments about AS people, then remained on her website. It's appalling that not only are they willing to spread these vile stigmas, that smear us as this horrid disease or defect, that they can't then have an adult conversation about this. I made a video on youtube about this, to which she then she contacted me via facebook about. Instead of removing the defamation from her site, or having any kind of remorse about slandering and stigmatising innocent AS people, she instead threatens me, wanting to meet me in person, and also accuses me of defamation and lying (I didn't). She said the video completely misrepresented her (It doesn't), and asked me to censor my own video, calling it defamatory. Unreal. Taking a screenshot of her website, and commenting on it, is not a misrepresentation, nor is it defamation. She has absolutely no problem spreading such defamatory and appalling misrepresentations of AS people, while threatening and accusing anyone speaking out against as it, as lying and being defamatory. I can't be more disgusted.
Fantastic experience: My son hd been learning from another well know Gold Coast driving school and just wasn't "getting it". So we swapped him to Streetwise Driver Training and Brooke was like a breath of fresh air. In no time at all my son was driving with such confidence it was quite a turnaround. Anyway long story short, he passed his driving test first time and we owe it all to Streetwise and their amazing instructors. Thanks you!
Thanks for your kind words Andrew - we really appreciate it !
Fantastic experience: Could not be happier with achieving my licence and freedom with Streetwise! Each instructor helped me become so much more comfortable and confident on the road and not only taught me the correct way to drive but how to do so safely. I definitely recommend Streetwise as your driving school .
It was such a pleasure to share the journey with you lovely lady - no doubt your freedom means getting to work, school and play by yourself and some amazing adventures along the way - all the best!!
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Streewise Driver Training to anybody and everybody. All instructors are extremely friendly, encouraging, experienced, knowledgeable and have an amazing teaching style which makes conquering the task of learning to drive safely much less daunting.
Ahhh Thanks Daniel you were a pleasure to teach! All the best for the future! Maybe we'll see you again sometime for Manual!!! Also we have a Defensive driving 1 day course running on the 29th of March if you're keen, give us a call!!!
Fantastic experience: Best driving school on the gold coast!!! Instructors are wonderful people who care about every driving lesson they take and I found they encourage you 100% to succeed!!! Definitely recommend :D
Thank you Chloe!! We miss you and hope you are doing really well - from the whole team x
