ABC Driving School Thank you for your interest in ABC Driver Education. Our mission is to provide you the tools necessary for becoming a safe, smart, and confident driver. For the finest drivers ed in Baltimore look no further than ABC Driver Education.
Services
Anyone who wants to obtain a driver's license in Maryland must complete a driver education course consisting of 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of driving practice. The classes are split into ten 3-hour sessions. The driving hours are broken up into three 2-hour sessions, which are held in our cars, one-on-one with certified instructors.
After finishing the online class, you'll have to take a final exam in person at our Essex office. Testing is by appointment only, and is offered Monday through Friday from 10am to 3pm. The price is $70, and you can pay online or in person.
The fee to take your license test in one of our cars starts at $140, and the price may increase depending on which MVA you're going to and whether you need to be picked up. We only take people to the MVA branches in Essex, Glen Burnie, Baltimore City, and Bel Air.

I had driving school over 3 years ago. I don't remember her name but she was a really cool teacher. When I renewed my permit, I was able to start my practices with Mr. Earl. He is a wonderful instructor and was with me for the 3 drive times, a few private lessons, and my actual test (I passed!) If you want an instructor who will go the extra mile to work with you where you are at in terms of driving ability, Mr. Earl is your guy.

I had no car and no one willing to take me out to drive and Mr. Earl was very patient with me. I will say that there was a hiccup and I wasn't able to take my test in October because I wasn't on the list. I was told I was good to go but when I got to the MVA, I was told I couldn't take it. I think the only system that should change is that if you are renting an ABC car for your test (like I did) the driving school should both schedule your test at the MVA and coordinate with their schedule.

It only makes sense because ABC needs to coordinate with your preferred drivers schedule, as well as the MVA's schedule online. I worked it out with the owner and was able to take it last week without having to pay again for the car. Other than that, I'm walking away with my provisionals forever grateful to ABC and especially Mr. Earl! That man is awesome!

Driving school is a complete waste of time. I learned almost nothing I didn't already know before and NOTHING about the actual driving of a car. The 6 hour "lessons" you get are also fairly worthless as well. Everyone expects you to learn from your parents. In my case I don't have parents and am a bit older with no family at all. The school and the system is very much not easy for adults who have full time jobs.

I kind of expected this to be somewhat useless or easy to figure out information but everything they went over was a complete waste of time. This whole system is rigged just to get money out of people.

This institution is one of the best for new drivers and anyone looking to improve their driving skills. The staff there is awesome, understanding and respectful. I haven't seen any disrespect from since I have been coming. The classes are way better than I expected, I actually learn and get to hear the experiences of others and the teachers alike. Mr. Dan should get a raise ( ).

He is awesome and a great communicator. He makes everyone who is present communicate and he is down to earth (definitely an asset to the program). Overall, I think they are doing well. And would recommend them to everyone I know.

Ms. Susan was my driving instructor on my last driving session. She was very informative and made me very comfortable and confident. Driving with her made me feel like I am now prepared to take my skills test to obtain my license. Thanks so much, I appreciate you.

Great prices, friendly staff, had a few problems with a driving instructor (late, lazy, other students in vehicle). Owner rectified that by giving me extra driving time. Classes were boring depending on instructor but i learned what I needed to. Would recommend this to anyone.

1st I am over 25 years of age and I am just getting my learners and never thought I will be in school again. I must say I love to learn and when you have staff like ABC driving school its worth the time and money. The staff here works with you and answers all the questions that is asked about Drivers ED. In class Staff was great and the driver instructor was great, I worked with Ms. Becky who was my driver instructor and she was great!

She points out your wrong and give you a chance to make corrections, she is very straight forward, and make sure your are comfortable being around her. You will spend a total of 2 hours each day behind the wheel but when I was with her those 2 hours felt like 30 mins, . ABC driving school is a well known school and I will be sending my 19 year old step daughter here as well. I like to thank the in class instructors Ms. Maureen, Mr. Don and best of all My driver instructor Ms. Becky.
