Please note with the pandemic, those who have traveled by bus, cruise or airplane between states and countries should not take lessons with our school exposing Instructors. Instructors must be in a vehicle with you for 2 hours. For Example: If you arrived in our area on August 15th on a flight from Florida to California, please do not schedule your first lesson until after two weeks from today, so Aug 30th on would be appropriate.

Drive Test Scheduling Resumes

DMV is now scheduling behind the wheel drive test, but are not scheduling regular office visit appointments yet.

Learner Permits that expired during Pandemic

If your permit expired during the pandemic, it is automatically extended for 6 months, nothing for you to do accept keep practicing your driving techniques. You do not need to contact DMV. It is an automatic extension. Law enforcement is aware as well.

Need a Permit?

For those who are ready to take a written permit test to obtain a learner's permit, currently the only way you can do this is by applying for a REAL ID. When applying for a REAL ID for the first time, as part of that application, DMV will allow you to take a written learner's permit exam as part of the REAL ID process. If you already have a REAL ID, at this time, DMV will not let you take the written learner's permit exam. You will have to wait until DMV begins scheduling new appointments.

Reviews from Yelp

Please feel free to go to our Yelp page to read more about what others thought about ARS Driving School. We have featured a few below.

I asked for Anika based on yelp reviews. She was very professional and knowledgeable. She followed up each lesson with an evaluation and suggested exercises to improve driving. She was flexible and worked with my 17 year old's school schedule. I would highly recommend her. BTW, my daughter was very comfortable with Ms. Anika and passed the first driving test she took at the DMV.

A great exciting experience for my daughter...she was very excited and texted me once the 1st instruction was complete and said she feels so much more comfortable. Her instructor was Anika and my daughter says she was cool! Thank You Anika and ARS for a great experience.

I found this ARS driving school on yelp. Anika is awesome. I have a big smile today after I pass my driving from DMV thanks for Anika and the ARS driving school.
