About Us

NUMBER 1 DRIVING SCHOOL IN THE REGION


25 years in businessFor over 25 years, our experienced instructors have provided quality service and driving expertise to over 40,000 graduates in Ontario. Our highly successful on-road training, along with our unique, easy to follow, interactive Canadian Driver’s Edge program has secured us a great reputation and widespread recognition with our customers, the Ministry of Transportation, and insurance companies all over the region.

At the Academy of Driving Unipol we believe that all driving schools are NOT created equal. In fact, we pride ourselves on knowing that we stand head and shoulders above other schools in the region. By taking pride in what we do we make sure that the driving skills we teach to our students will stay with them all their lives. Utilizing our UNIQUE and INTERACTIVE CURRICULUM   we emphasize:

  • Defensive driving
  • Strong observation habits
  • Safe motoring

Our experienced instructors focus on teaching safe driving techniques, rather than just the skills “to pass a driving test”.

 

Student Testimonials

  • Unipol was an awesome driving school! I used to have tons of bad habits from driving with my parents in the past, and my instructor helped me overcome these bad habits and drive a lot more safely. Instructor was very patient and professional and had tons of techniques and reference points to help students drive a lot better with ease. 10/10 would recommend!
