We are the #1 driving school serving the Gaithersburg, MD and broader Montgomery County community. We offer affordable behind-the-wheel and ONLINE classroom education for teens and adults.

It is never too late to learn to drive or gather the experience and training necessary to become a better driver. Whether you are interested in earning your driver’s license for the first time or are inexperienced or rusty and looking to improve your skills, we have the driving instructors to help you succeed.
We will also provide you a safe, fully-inspected, and clean vehicle for your practice during our lessons.
Private instruction is available by appointment 7 days a week. Frequently, our adult students require instruction before or after work – please call or email us to ask about these accommodations, which we can provide upon request.
You can contact us today and tomorrow be on your way to being a safe and confident driver. Please feel comfortable calling or emailing with your questions. We are glad to help.
If you are court-ordered to complete driving lessons due to an accident,, traffic violation, or other cause reducing the points on your license, you can contact us to fulfill your requirements. In some cases, this will reduce ticket charges and help you earn back points on your license. Good Start Driving School is fully licensed and able to help you meet your classroom or behind-the-wheel training requirements.
Sometimes your insurance provider will offer you a discount if you complete driving lessons. As a fully licensed driving school, we can help you meet these requirements and provide the valid documentation to the insurance company.
Depending on local and state laws or mandates from the Department of Motor Vehicles, seniors may be required to retake the knowledge and road test after a number of years. If you are required to repeat these exams, please contact us for training and instruction. We will be happy to show you the patience and respect you deserve, while also sharing the latest techniques in defense driving and changes to driving laws.

My son attended Good Start Driving School in 2010 and he learned so much! He even taught me how to correctly parallel park and I’ve been driving for 26 years. The school has the most affordable price in the county but it’s more than that. I wanted value and trust in the fact that he would gain valuable tools to be a SAFE driver…and he did!

Good Start Driving school is the best, my son attended in 2011 and now my daughter is attending as well. My son is such a good driver that he is even helping his sister practice before her in car appointments. The school is very affordable and the instructors have so much patient for the kids. I felt more at ease sending my kids to the school because of their professionalism and how they value safety. Thank you so much Good Start, your name says it all. Keep up the good work.
