Learning to drive in a small, rural community like San Martin offers a calm, confidence-building environment for new drivers. Our DMV-certified instructors are familiar with local roads, nearby highways, and regional DMV testing patterns, giving students the practical experience they need to become safe and capable drivers.
Our behind-the-wheel lessons are designed to help students master driving skills in real-world San Martin conditions — from quiet agricultural roads to more complex routes toward Morgan Hill and Gilroy. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s skill level and comfort, with clear instruction, a patient teaching style, and safety at the center of every session.
Students receive targeted DMV prep, including mock tests and guided practice on common test-style maneuvers. We help reduce anxiety, build familiarity with typical exam requirements, and prepare students for testing at nearby DMV offices.
Whether you’re a brand-new driver or returning after years away, we offer personalized refresher lessons that cover parking, lane changes, freeway merging, defensive driving, and nighttime driving — all essential for today’s road conditions.

Thank you Micheal for the amazing lessons he gave me, very good teacher and an excellent role model. Gave me the confidence to pass my test. I passed it with no sweat and will continue to always look over my shoulder!
This is an amazing driving school. Courteous, professional, punctual, and easy to work with. My sons instructor was Nick and have to say we got a 5 start experience. Nick was friendly and patient, he really fostered the concept of making driving fun but safe through his training. Highly recommend!
Great Service, communication and cost. They got our son ready for the driving test. He passed first try and he had minimal driving experience to start. Would recommend.
Advantage driving school not only prepared me for my test but also made me a better driver. Giving me all sorts of tips and tricks to improve my skills as well as making me more comfortable to drive. All of my instructors were very sociable and outgoing making my experience not awkward at all. I cannot thank advantage enough.
I worked with Devin.G, when he first picked me up I was very nervous and not that good with driving essentially, but he helped me build confidence to be on the road. He was a wonderful instructor very professional but is a funny and friendly person. He Really made driving fun for me, if you’re thinking about advantage I recommend!
I'm writing this review together with my son Dominic (who passed his DMV driving test on his first try!). As a parent, I'm very happy to work with Nick, he's very confident and knowledgeable, so easy to talk to, and was very patient with my son. He's not only teaching him to pass the DMV test, but also including a lot of safety lessons/precautions in real-life driving. My son Dom's comments were "Nick's driving lessons were very comfortable and informative. I didn’t stress out while driving with him but he also made sure to tell me things that I needed to do for the test or in general. I also liked how at the end of the sessions, he clearly describes how I did and what areas are need of improvement.". - We highly recommend Nick and Advantage Driving School. Thanks Nick!
