Elephant Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’ve passed my driving test today at Tolworth at the first time! Huge thanks to my instructor Karam from Elephant driving school. He taught me every single detail with patience. I strongly recommend him for new learners to take lessons.
Negative experience: Rocky is impatient. Pls just stop teaching.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my driving test today IMRAN my instructer helped Me a lot and guided me through out my practical lessons, Very polite instructer, very professional very friendly all the qualities that a learner needs from instructer IMRAN has. I feel very very privileged to have had an instructor like IMRAN . Elephant driving school you should be lucky to have a team member like IMRAN by you. Thank you IMRAN and everyone for your support
Negative experience: I am trying to call Elephant Driving School Surbiton for the past 2 weeks no response so far. I got a message in phone to send details did already still no response. Not happy with service
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today!!! All thanks to the wonderful driving instructor Imi! He was always very happy and calm and made me feel at ease when driving! He was extremely good at explaining how to do things, and what not to do. If I made a mistake he always told me calmly and how to improve. I highly recommend this driving school and Imi! I wouldn't have been able to pass my test so soon without the thanks of Imi!
Fantastic experience: I had a 2 hour refresher lesson (not driven in 10 years) with Imi, and it was excellent. Imi took time talking me through the basics, much of which I'd forgotten, and was a constant support throughout. Plus, a really nice guy too and we had decent conversation on the longer drive periods
Negative experience: Criminal how they took my money and then left me without an instructor 2 weeks before my test. Luckily I was able to get a few more lessons in with JEDS Driving School and pass my test first time and have been driving for just over a year now. Thanks for the initial lessons Elephant but I'm still owed around £100 for lessons I didn't take due to the instructor going AWOL. I am a normal guy and in no way affiliated with JEDS driving school but I would choose them over Elephant after my experience, hindsight is a wonderful thing right! The 5 hours of lessons I had with JEDS in the lead up to my test were invaluable and I'm pretty sure I would have otherwise failed my test without them!
We take all complains very seriously and we do have a policy to investigate all negative reviews left by our customers.
We do suspect that the above review left by Mr David Jackson is not genuine. We suspect on this ground that;
First of all you have not mentioned the name of driving instructor who took £100.
2ndly you have not made any effort to call Elephant Driving School to make this complain about the instructor who took £100 and has refused you to take you to the test.
3rd, you do have the right as a customer to go to any other driving school, if you are not happy but in your review you have clearly managed to promote other driving school and even tried to explain that you are not affiliated with this driving school. You could have left the review without mentioning the name but you are clearly using this as a marketing tool.
Fantastic experience: Took lessons with rocky at elephant driving school and I passed today with only 2 minors. I recommend rocky and elephant driving school!
Fantastic experience: Has got the best instructor. Helped me pass my test. Very honest told me straight forward what I lacked in and helped me improve it. Special thanks to Mr Butt for having always the getting back to me when I needed his assistant and giving me the confidence to pass the test.
Fantastic experience: Very good driving school
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate the recommendation and wish you well with your future driving. Best wishes.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Elephant Driving School and in particular I'd like to say huge thank you to my instructor Waqar. Not only a kind person with a big heart, Waqar is also extremely experienced, hard working and dedicated teacher, who is patient about his job and has amazing teaching skills. Under his skillful guidance I've successfully passed the Pass Plus course after a huge driving gap. He brought my driving skills up to speed in no time and provided me with a confidence to drive in one of the hardest places to drive - London.
Negative experience: By far the WORST driving school experience I've ever had. The driving instructor went ghost 2 weeks before my test and now the school is now telling me that no one would be able to take me for my test. Was a good driving instructor, shame it had to end this way.

Fantastic experience: I had Imtiaz as my driving instructor with Elephant Driving School. I couldn’t of had anyone better to teach me to drive. I passed my test on the second go at Croydon test centre, but I finally did it. He has been fantastic and I would recommend him and this driving school to anyone. We have had some really good laughs while out driving going to miss our weekly lessons and he made me feel so relaxed as I was scared to drive right at the start. Thanks you Elephant Driving School for allocating really nice instructor to me.
Fantastic experience: Great school and experience! I passed my test today thanks to Mike from Battersea. Best instructor I ever had!
Fantastic experience: I called Elephant Driving School because my instructor went on holidays and i needed an instructor on urgent basis. Elephant Driving School's instructor was Fast, Flexible, and Reliable it was so simple to get a driving lessons with Elephant Driving School, and when my instructor arrived things got even better. Mr Waqar was my instructor and he gave me the confidence and ability to pass my test, he has a strong understanding of what its like to take the test and prepares you fully. Calm, Cool and Collected is exactly what you need when learning and Mr Waqar sums this up. Learning with him was a pleasure and I’d recommend him to anyone who’s thinking of learning to drive.
Fantastic experience: BEST INSTRUCTORS EVER!!!! I Passed my driving test today , Mr Waqi took me there but I had 40 hours of driving lessons with Mr Liban, and he literally took me from zero to a Proper driver.. He is so patient and so calm Never made me feel any preasure. He tought me my reference points for every manouever and also how to plan ahead.
Fantastic experience: I passed with Mike, who I highly recommend as an excellent instructor! Patient, explains everything and helped me keep calm in tricky situations. Mike is friendly and will go out of his way to ensure you 'get it' and have the best chance at passing. I also learnt loads of useful stuff that you don't necessarily need for your test, but will keep you safe on the road in the long run. Elephant's prices are also very reasonable. Cheers Mike!
Fantastic experience: I had excellent experience with Elephant driving school. My instructor Mr Z BUTT help me to pass my practical test with one attempt . I listen to all his friendly advice and teaching help me to pass the first time attempt.
Fantastic experience: I took a 10 hour Pass Plus with Elephant Driving School. I had two different instructors. This actually was a positive thing as I benefited from each's strong points. Rocky was extremely professional, knowledgeable & grounding. He very quickly understood my need to increase my confidence and worked with me on this. Wassim was very generous & kind. As I drive in different cultural contexts and systems, I needed an instructor that would work with me on issues of confidence and navigating the different system as much as on skills, I feel that Rocky was superb on that front.
