Payless Driving Lesson SoMa, San Francisco

From the very beginning, Gerald proved himself to be an outstanding driving instructor. I hired him last minute, needing both a car for the test and a 90-minute lesson, and he exceeded all expectations! Despite my experience as a driver in a foreign country, Gerald expertly guided me through the rules and regulations I was unaware of. His extensive training, vast experience, and invaluable knowledge truly shine through in his teaching style. A big thank you to Gerald from Payless Driving for a job well done! With his help, I was able to pass my behind-the-wheel test on the very first attempt. I highly recommend Gerald to anyone seeking a top-notch driving instructor!

Gerald is an amazing instructor. I had only driver in India before this, that too right hand drive around 10-12 yrs ago so basically was re-learning how to drive from scratch. After 1-2 driving sessions with friends in empty parking lots, I signed up for a class with Gerald given all the positive reviews. He was able to gauge my driving ability within the first class (2hr session) and then after only one additional class he had me scheduled to give the drivers test. He set everything up as we used his car for the test and I passed on my first attempt. Gerald is calm, patient, and most importantly he neither wastes your time or money and helps you earn your license as soon as possible. Highly recommend him!!

I am a nervous driver and failed the driving test 3 times in my home country. I passed with Gerald on the FIRST TRY. He gave a combination of real driving lessons and test preparation. Most importantly, he can spot the real issue (mine was nerves) and his coaching gave me the confidence I need. I only took 2 lessons and passed. He cancelled my third lesson as he felt I didn t need it despite him being able to profit from it. He is a good coach with great advice, experience, and integrity. If you wanna pass, do try him.

Gerald is the way to go for a driving lesson before taking your road test! He helped me calm my nerves and get over my test anxiety. Passed on the first attempt with just one lesson before hand.

I can barely write this review without tearing up. I cant even say in words how grateful I am today for Gerald Huang. He is one of the most kindhearted, patient, most incredible driving instructor Ive ever met. I feel so honored and again grateful to have had him as my instructor. I finally got my drivers license today and I owe it to him. He made my WHOLE driving experience absolutely wonderful. I have so much anxiety when it comes to driving but he helped me with it. No other driving school instructor...
Read full review can compare to him. He is truly unique I wouldnt recommend no one else except him. Anyone reading this please choose payless driving lesson. Please pick this company because Gerald is truly amazing. Im feeling very grateful right now. Thank you.

I don t write reviews and considering I had such a good experience with Gerald I had to write. As an adult newbie , Gerald taught me in 2 classes and I passed my Daly City driving test thereonafter . He has a proper driving instructor car and picks you up and drops you at your desired location. He was very patient, helped me with parking and going in the expressway. His pricing was fair and reasonable.

By nature Im a really anxious person and I wanted to learn how to drive for the first time, so imagine how scary it was to find an instructor. Gerald always told me straight and in a way I could understand, then showed me patience through out all of our lessons. Slowly he chipped away at my anxieties and made me feel confident enough to be on the road. I passed my exam today with his help! Eternally grateful to him, his prices are great and hes extremely communicative, supportive and kind. Thanks for making driving accessible to even people like me, who have never dreamed of driving before!

Highly recommended! I am new to the States/ Bay Area and felt insecure about driving, especially on freeways. I contacted Gerald after hearing great things about him from my work colleague. He is professional, kind, knowledgeable, and makes you feel comfortable from the start. He taught me everything I needed to know to pass the test and, more importantly, to drive safely everywhere.

Mr Gerald was a great instructor. I passed the test on the first try! He will teach you exactly what you need to know for the test and even make you do test runs before the test to make you feel comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Gerald was amazing at teaching me how to drive, took a few classes and was worth it, I passed my first driving test after he taught me how to drive. He also noticed my getting sleepy at the wheel once when I didnt get enough sleep once and took notice and had me pull over so he could drive me home safely. Definetly recommend this place!
