Fantastic experience: The best driving company ever!! As a nervous person with anxiety i was super worried to start driving lessons, but Claire helped me every step of the way. Her belief in me is what got me to pass first time, and I will be forever grateful!! Highly recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Shaun Blanchard took my elderly father in law out for a lesson prior to him having an assessment with the DVSA. Shaun was patient, polite, knowledgeable and conscientious. I would highly recommend using Shaun as an instructor.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of having andy teach me to drive, he's incredible, he's kind, caring, patient and somehow managed to explain things so simply, right from the get go andy was attentive to my needs, looked after me during anxious moments and managed to keep me at ease the whole time I was learning, even though I have debilitating anxiety andy got me to a place that allowed me to pass 1st time. I would highly recommend motoration driving school, and if you have the great fortune of having andy teach you, trust me you'll feel like you've won the lottery.. good luck to all on this journey.. if you've got andy.. you've got this!!!

Fantastic experience: Shaun's keen eye for detail proved invaluable, especially as I have recently relocated to the UK after driving for over 20 years abroa. Shaun adeptly identified and focused on the areas where I needed improvement to help me pass my UK driving test. I highly recommend booking Shaun if you're in search of a driving instructor who offers sound advice and guidance. Five Stars

Fantastic experience: Cannot rate Motoration Driving School highly enough! Haven't passed yet but won't be too long until I do () thanks to Andy and the great lessons I've been having. Andy was really quick at putting me at ease from the very first lesson, and is such a personable, patient and genuine man. My confidence has increased tenfold, and my ability always improving. For anyone learning to drive for the first time, or someone struggling with their confidence in driving, look no further!!

Andy Han 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend, professional and very friendly as well as being patient when teaching me, which helped to build my driving skills and give me more confidence on the road. I was able to pass my driving test first try and very much enjoyed the journey learning to drive, I could not be more thankful to have such a good instructor.

Sarah Smallridge 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Andy at Motoration Driving School. The only instructor who took the time to call and speak with me about lessons when I first enquired on behalf of my daughter. Andy immediately put my daughter at ease during her lessons. As a result, she quickly gained confidence and passed first time. Andy is kind, calm and patient.

Anna Durrant 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: They were great, would highly recommend! I passed first time with 0 faults after 25 lessons over 6 months. They were friendly and helpful and always prioritised teaching me what to do and how to do it. (Apart from the very 1st lesson) hands on driving experience was always the full 1.5hs (whereas some other driving schools only let you drive for 1h or so in a 1.5h lesson!). They were no more expensive than any others in my area but worth the money.

Fantastic experience: I have learned to drive with Andy at Motoration Driving School and he has been absolutely amazing. I have Autism amongst other health issues and he has been so patient and accommodating and I honestly don’t think I could have found a better driving instructor anywhere else. I passed first time and that’s down to Andy being patient and teaching me at my own speed and building my confidence. I would 100% recommend learning with Motoration driving school if you’re looking to learn to drive!

Fantastic experience: I have been driving with Steve from April till December. I can honestly say he is the best driving instructor out there. I passed first time and with 1 minor and it’s all because of Steve. It’s been a pleasure learning to drive with Steve and if anyone wants a DI then I highly recommend Steve Buckley.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time with only 2 minors. Steve taught me for only a few months but I noticed an improvement after every lesson. Very sympathetic when things don’t quite go to plan, and he gave clear instructions and constructive feedback. Great bloke and would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Was driving with Andy for 2 years Very knowledgeable and helpful with driving not just to pass my test but for day to day driving safely Also made the lesson’s interesting and enjoyable by having a spot of banter when safe to do so Everything was explained well Not the best looking chap (sorry ladies) but a great instructor May I also add that I passed first time with Andy

Georgia Knights 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Steve is absolutely fantastic!! I never thought I’d be brave enough to learn to drive but Steve made it so easy. He created such a relaxed and fun environment that massively helped to control my anxiety around driving, taking me from absolutely zero confidence in myself to a fully confident and comfortable driver. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Ashley Bottiglieri 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t rate Steve highly enough. I have been on the road with a full motorcycle licence for years. The amount I have learned from Steve has been amazing. He is very calm and relaxed explains everything in detail. He helped me sail through my practical test with only 2 minors. Thanks again can’t praise you highly enough.

Thank you so much for your patience and advice. All the best :) you deserve it!!

Archie 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I passed first time after just over 15 lessons with Kath. She teaches you everything you need to know whilst also making sure you are not nervous and are comfortable in the car. Kath is extremely nice and good to talk to making lessons go fast whilst also making sure that you are learning everything you need to know in order to pass your driving test.

Fantastic experience: Andy helped me pass first time with no minors - he is a great instructor!

Donna Ormston 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I gave up learning to drive over 20 years ago when I failed a driving test. I had no confidence and was convinced I just couldn’t do it. A year ago I made the decision to try again, but in an automatic car. That’s when I started learning with Andy. Immediately he made me feel comfortable and after the first couple of lessons I began to realise I might actually be able to do this!! It was not all plain sailing, I struggled with confidence all the way through but Andy was always positive, encouraging, calm, honest and fun - I am not sure how he managed it some weeks! Fast forward a year and I passed my test just over a week ago, I honestly never thought I would ever be able to drive but I can and it is all credit to Motoration and Andy. Yes it was stressful, mostly in my head, but it was also really good fun. I would recommend Motoration to everybody who thinks they can’t do it or struggles with confidence. He will get you through, just keep on going and believe in yourself because he does. . And Andy, thank you!! I cannot express my gratitude enough, nor can Neale, you know how much this means to us. Final piece of advice: follow Dotty, listen to Susie sat nav, stay away from twunts and all will be Gucci - ask Andy

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test with Andy at Motoration, after having bad experiences with multiple driving instructors in Basingstoke. My confidence in driving was low when I met Andy, however after just one lessonI I instantly felt at ease and comfortable behind the wheel! I highly recommend Andy at Motoration he is calm, patient and reliable! I am an anxious person and every lesson Andy was always patient and reassuring which helped massively in building up my confidence in driving. In the lead up to my test he was flexible and managed to get me booked in for a couple of extra lessons. Kath at Motoration also managed to get me in for an hour in the lead up to test to go over manoeuvres and again instantly I felt at ease. Motoration goes above and beyond for their students and I wish I’d found Andy sooner!

Andleeb A 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had been learning to drive on and off with several instructors over several years. I struggled to find an instructor that was flexible but also someone who could put me at ease. I started lessons with Andy who worked on my nerves and built back all the confidence I had lost. I never thought I could pass but after a few lessons I realised for the first time ever that I had a chance. I found Andy was flexible with lessons, managed to fit me in last minute, moved things around when I had my test and taught me with such patience and ease that I lost all the nerves and difficulties I had with driving. I sometimes wish I had been taught by Andy in the first place. He has several years of experience and it shows in his lessons. With all my previous instructors I was taught so differently but Andys way of teaching meant I could think for myself and apply my driving knowledge to any sticky situation which meant the test was no longer as scary as it once was. He is also a genuinely nice person and works with great professionalism so I always felt safe and enjoyed my lessons. I highly recommend Andy, Thank you for helping me pass my driving test!

Natasha Hole 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am currently learning with Andy. Great instructor. Andy has a great way with teaching you to your ability making you feel really comfortable. He lets you know where you have gone wrong or where you need improvement without knocking your confidence, Which for me is very important. Andy is great with flexibility if he has space to fit you in if you need to rearrange, he will do all he can to help you out. He is a great guy and so easy to get along with, he has a laugh with you and makes you feel at ease. Motoration come highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Kath was my first and last driving instructor. She pushed me when I didn’t think I could do it and made me believe in myself. I got a first time pass. I couldn’t have passed without her. She was nothing but supportive and helpful even when you felt you were having a bad day. I couldn’t fault her as an instructor and recommend Motoration as a company to help you become a good driver

Katherine made everything easier for me and is very interactive, I would recommend her to anyone that wants to pass there practical test.

Josh Kelly 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Kathy was my first and only driving instructor around this time last year. She helped me pass my test months before my own goal due to her helpful tips, advice and general guidance. She was always on time, never messed me around with lessons and on top of all of this, she's a great laugh and really easy to get along with. I'd 100% recommend Kathy and Motoration to anyone who is looking to begin their driving journey.
