????? 5/5 – Highly Recommend Cairns Car School Hi, my name is Jason. I started my driving lessons with Cairns Car School in October 2024, and as of November 2025 I’ve officially passed my driving test and am now on my P plates! Over that time, the instructors and staff have been nothing but professional, polite, friendly, and respectful. The instructors are fantastic at breaking things down and helping you understand what it truly takes to become a safe and confident driver. Whenever I made a mistake, they never made me feel uncomfortable—instead, they were always calm, informative, and encouraging. The instructors were almost always on time, and on the few occasions when they needed to reschedule or were running late, they communicated clearly and kept me updated so I was never left wondering what was happening. I really appreciated that level of honesty and organisation. A huge thank-you to the whole team at Cairns Car School for helping me reach one of my life goals. And an extra big thanks to Raquel—most of my lessons were with her, and she was amazing. Thanks a bunch, mate! ??
