uwa J. ★★★★★ : One of the best if not the best driving school in benin
Akhamiafe G. ★★★★★ : I contacted them for renewal of my drivers license, and made payment of 25k on Wednesday 22nd September 2021. He told me I will get my license in 2 months. After 2 months I did not hear from him. I kept contacting him and he kept promising different dates. He later blocked my number so I can’t reach him, I tried with my husband’s number, he picked and then told me he did transactions but that it didn’t drop. He rarely picks my call and acted like he was doing me a favour. He later told me not to worry that I was get my license February 2022 he still did not keep to promise. He was very rude to me and stopped taking my call. I then contacted my dad to help me reach him. He blocked my dad’s number as well. My dad reached him on his other number, and he stopped picking all together. Till date I have not received my license nor refund. He gave me a mans number to call, I told him I have a business with him and not any man . Deliver or refund my money. I don’t recommend this business.

latifah U. ★★★★★ : They are very nonchalant and slow, they do not teach students properly , all they do is to waste your one hour driving time. Also the instructors are rude, they lack manners and always insult their students. I don't recommend anybody going to learn how to drive there because of the bad experience I got there.

How to choose safely

What to check before choosing driving schools in Benin City

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

Check accreditation
Ask which body accredits the programme and what certificate you receive at the end, then confirm it with that body before you enrol.
Get fees and duration in writing
Course fees, what they cover, the length of the course and the class schedule should be on paper before any payment.
Visit the classroom first
See the training room, the equipment and a class in session before paying. A tour tells you more than a brochure.
