Harbourside Driving School
We understand learning to drive can be stressful - you're out of your comfort zone and there's a lot to remember. Our instructor Andrew is friendly, patient and calm. He's qualified and experienced, so you'll not only feel at ease, but benefit from his expert tuition. With us, you'll learn to drive safely in your choice of our clean, well-maintained manual or automatic sedans.

Our vehicles are fitted with dual-control pedals, allowing our instructor to stop the vehicle if necessary. This gives added peace of mind for everyone. There are so many benefits to hiring Harbourside Driving School to help you learn to drive. We're a friendly Coffs Harbour driving school, a family business and dedicated to giving you excellent, flexible lesson options.

Casey and Andrew are amazing! If I could use the words my son Chad used to rave about his experience with Andrew I would, but instead I’ll just say how extraordinary they are! Andrew’s knowledge, patience and teaching is unbelievable. Casey’s phenomenal professionalism made booking lessons a cinch. If you’re thinking about a driving school, I wouldn’t hesitate but to recommend Harbourside Driving School for your child.

Andrew is the best driving instructor you can ever get. He has been incredibly patient with me even when I made some deadly mistakes. He has heaps of helpful tips and clearly tells you what you do well and what you need to work on more. He’s super nice and I could feel that he genuinely cares about his students and wants to make them successful and safe rather than just wanting money from them. Highly recommend!!

Had such a good experience to learn how to enjoy driving as well as driving safely. Moving over from another country I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to learn the new rules, but Andrew helped me so much and gave me so much confidence and that’s why I passed on my first time ! Extremely great full for Harbourside Driving School 🚗

I booked a lesson right before my test and the instructor calmed me down so much and talked me through a lot of situations which really helped me refresh everything as well as doing my revision last night in… the hand book, i thank use so much for allowing me to have this great opportunity with use and my instructor was probably half the reason i passed he calmed me down so much and made me feel safe in the car with someone i hadn’t met before, whole experience was just amazing :)
