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.

As one of the oldest and most experienced driving schools in the region, teenagers are in good hands with our school. Whether you are the parent of a teenager or a teenager yourself you can feel confident with our driving school, which is fully licensed as required by state law.
Our instructors provide instruction to hundreds of students each year, and over 96% of our students pass their road test on the first try. We value creating an informative, safe, courteous, patient, clean, and communicative environment that fosters the maximum amount of learning each session.
Please also review our free instructional materials for basic to advanced information on driving and preparations for the knowledge and road test exam. Our goal is to help new teenage drivers become safe, confident drivers. Our students are equipped with the knowledge and experience required to be collision-free and ticket-free in their driving.
As required by state law, teenagers must provide proof of a driving permit at their first lesson. Without the driving permit the lesson cannot begin.
A parent’s or guardian’s signature is required on our forms to begin lessons.

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.
