Payless Driving Lesson SoMa, San Francisco

I am a nervous driver and failed the driving test 3 times in my home country. I passed with Gerald on the FIRST TRY. He gave a combination of real driving lessons and test preparation. Most importantly, he can spot the real issue (mine was nerves) and his coaching gave me the confidence I need. I only took 2 lessons and passed. He cancelled my third lesson as he felt I didn t need it despite him being able to profit from it. He is a good coach with great advice, experience, and integrity. If you wanna pass, do try him.

Gerald is an amazing instructor. I had only driver in India before this, that too right hand drive around 10-12 yrs ago so basically was re-learning how to drive from scratch. After 1-2 driving sessions with friends in empty parking lots, I signed up for a class with Gerald given all the positive reviews. He was able to gauge my driving ability within the first class (2hr session) and then after only one additional class he had me scheduled to give the drivers test. He set everything up as we used his car for the test and I passed on my first attempt. Gerald is calm, patient, and most importantly he neither wastes your time or money and helps you earn your license as soon as possible. Highly recommend him!!

From the very beginning, Gerald proved himself to be an outstanding driving instructor. I hired him last minute, needing both a car for the test and a 90-minute lesson, and he exceeded all expectations! Despite my experience as a driver in a foreign country, Gerald expertly guided me through the rules and regulations I was unaware of. His extensive training, vast experience, and invaluable knowledge truly shine through in his teaching style. A big thank you to Gerald from Payless Driving for a job well done! With his help, I was able to pass my behind-the-wheel test on the very first attempt. I highly recommend Gerald to anyone seeking a top-notch driving instructor!

Gerald is an excellent instructor. I could not have passed my driving exam. He gave me the confidence I needed to improve my driving skills with his support and tips. I was surprised how fast I finished with my classes and passing my driving exam the first time thanks to Gerald. The best driving instructor I could have found. If you want to learn how to drive and pass your driving exam, I highly recommend Gerald!

Gerald is an amazing tutor. I had 0 experience of driving and he taught me the basics to freeway driving to parallel parking. He is very patient in his handling and helps with driving anxiety. To my surprise, I passed my driving test in one go. Gerald is also punctual with his pick up and drop off. I would highly recommend Gerald for driving lessons.

When I failed the test at another Driving school, I was told I needed to take 3 or 4 more classes, but I took a 90min of his lesson and was accepted! He is very knowledgeable about the DMV in Daly City and knows many tips for success. Its damn cheap compared other driving school and well worth the price.

Gerald is hands down the best instructor that one can have, he is knowledgeable and extremely patient and diligent in helping one understand the rules and regulations of driving in California. He is the go-to instructor for anyone looking to ace the California DMV Behind the Wheel Test on first try.

I learned how to drive with Gerald in five lessons! Let s start off with saying that Gerald is very easy and organized to collaborate with when it comes to picking appointments. Once you book with him and decided a lesson date he will come pick you up at a location of your choice and teach you how to drive immediately. It may be a little scary at first however he also has control over the car and is very attentive while you re driving so there s really nothing to worry about. Gerald also educates...
Read full review you on road regulations, you may think you know them but trust me you don t. These regulations are crucial to know for general safe driving as well as passing the drivers behind the wheel test (which I did pass on the first attempt thanks to Gerald) aside from all of that Gerald is a very kind, human being. He is clear, respectful, Professional attentive, and so much more! He has been doing this profession for years and knows exactly what he s doing. Don t hesitate to ask him questions and or concerns he truly listens and is there to help in all situations anyway he can. Thank you Gerald for teaching me how to drive safely!

Gerald is a great instructor! Took two lessons with him to refresh my driving skills and was able to pass the driving test after that. Id recommend working with him!

Gerald is an amazing driving instructor. He helped me a lot to improve my driving skills and gain confidence on my driving. I passed my exam in one go. It was overall an amazing experience with him and would totally recommend him.
