Cantor's is the best driving school. We initially gave our teen daughter lessons from another school which didn't yield her license. We switched to Cantor's and Brett Looney was her instructor. He's the absolute best! Perfect demeanor and great instructor. Bonus my daughter has her license! Thank you Brett!

So I was freaking out for my 16 year old to drive a car the FIRST time EVER in Las Vegas (keep in mind I'm am insurance agent)! But Richard, my daughters ex-police Officer / instructor, put my mind at ease instantly! After 30 hours of daytime driving with Richard we moved to a funny & cool ex-police Officer for 10 hours of night time drive; Joe! My daughter absolutely loved both instructors. Please invest in this program, trust me it has given my daughter a better shot at driving safe and keeping my isurance rates low. Next up to go thru the program.my 14 year old son (I'll post when he is driving so you all can stay home LOL!)

I am so happy with Cantor's Driving School. The staff is very professional and very friendly. My daughter was very comfortable with all of the instructors. They made the experience of learning to drive pleasant and made nervous parents feel better about their child driving. My daughter got her license and passed the test with flying colors. I can't thank them enough!

We had a great experience using Cantor's Driving School for our son. Driving instructor, Victor, gave our son driving lessons. Our son had a lot of respect for Victor, being a retired police officer, and felt like he had learned quite a bit from him. We, as parents, could also see he had gained confidence in his driving after the first lesson. Victor was always on time and took time to talk to us after each lesson, which was great.
We did the package that included the instructor (Victor) scheduling and picking up our son up to take him to the DMV to take his driver's test to get his license. Our son passed and we couldn't be more pleased with the whole process.

I loved the idea of retired police officers as instructors, had seen positive reviews on Yelp and other sites so picked Cantor for my son. Scheduling was easy, they sent reminders and confirmations, and the instructors were always prompt in arriving. My son quickly learned to drive with confidence. He passed his test on the first try and the examiner told me his driving was "excellent". I couldn't be happier!

Glenn is great my son had 3 lessons with him to prepare for his driving test and was able to get his license the first time he tested. He was always early, prepared and very accommodating with drop off's and pickups. We're happy, thank you Glenn and Cantors Driving School. Highly recommend!!

My daughter gained so much confidence driving with Jeff from Cantor's driving school. She took 3-2 hour lessons and Jeff gave her so many tips and advice about driving on the road and what to expect on the driving test. My daughter told me that Jeff put her at ease while driving and when she took her driving test today, she passed easily. She made no mistakes. Thanks so much Cantor's! I will be recommending this school to my friends.

Couldn't have been happier with this driving school! The instructors were kind, professional, and not intimidating. The instructors provided helpful hints for taking the driving test. In fact, I passed the first time without losing any points! The instructor always arrived on time. The vehicles used for driving instruction were newer and very comfortable to drive. I would recommend this driving school to anyone looking to improve their skills before their driving test!
