Austin Driving School

We teach safety that pays off for a lifetime—it’s the best investment you’ll ever make. Austin Driving School first opened its doors in 1977 on downtown Austin’s Sixth Street. Over the decades, our training fleet has evolved from vintage Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes, Buick Centuries, and Ford Pintos to modern Toyota Corollas. While we’ve long since moved from our original downtown location, our reach has grown significantly. Today, we serve students across Texas with convenient branches in Far South, South, North, and Northwest Austin, as well as Westlake, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Waco, Temple, North and South Arlington, Garland, Bryan, Fort Worth, White Settlement, and North and Northeast San Antonio. Locals recognize us by the legendary burro decal that adorns every driver education vehicle. Though sometimes mistaken for a rabbit, this beloved mascot has become a familiar sight on our roads. Ed the burro has ridden alongside countless new drivers over the years and even topped the car of a couple driving away from their wedding after meeting in one of our classes. While Ed brings a smile, our real focus remains on serious skill building. Teaching defensive driving and lifelong road safety has always been the foundation of our success. Operating a vehicle is just the start; mastering the mental awareness required for defensive driving is what truly keeps you safe. That is a vital skill we take pride in teaching every student.
