The staff was nice. Mr. Peter is really the best of the best. He makes the learning environment fun and relatable. He makes sure to go over important points over and over, until you fully understand. He NEVER makes you feel bad about not knowing something and works with you until you get it. I could’ve have asked for a better teacher. Thank you for everything Mr. Peter! :)

Sessions are available in both English and Spanish. The instructors are very patient in class and driving practice precisely Mr. Peter in the evening class. I highly recommend the school, you won’t regret it guys.

I am very happy I chose this driving school. The staff is friendly and Mr.Peter was the best teacher he was very helpful and I learned a lot. If you are looking for a good driving school this is the one!

Peter is probably the best driver instructor ! You’ll learn a lot from him. He also makes the class very fun with all his jokes & stories ! I personally Don’t regret coming here. Very understanding & good with teaching you how to drive

5 stars and I highly recommend driving instructor Peter. He teaches with great patience and is very calm. He talks to you so you feel less nervous to be behind the wheel. He is observant, points out your mistakes but explains kindly and gently how to correct it and when you do, he will happily cheer you for it! On the day of my road test, he took the time to remind me all the pointers I needed, encouraged me not be nervous, to take my time and said to do my best and God will do the rest. Thank you Peter! I appreciate it! God Bless you!

Mr Peter is the best teacher I have ever had, he is understanding and patient with his students. He provides helpful examples. I actually enjoyed his class.

I went to Alcantara for the 36 hour class and three driving sessions and had a great experience! Peter is an excellent teacher, in the classroom and as a driving instructor. His style made me feel really comfortable behind the wheel. Class met every weekday for two weeks from 6 to 9 - which I was really dreading because I work every day but honestly, it went by so fast and Peter made the class time painless. Highly recommend.

I had the great experience here.

Mr Peter is the best teacher I have ever had that man doesn’t get paid enough he deserves a raise, he made the class and driving lessons very fun and i loved my time at Alcantara driving school. Would definitely recommend everybody to go here to this school to learn 👍

Alcantara driving school was a very neat and informative place to get your necessary driving hours at. I had Peter as my teacher, he was both fun and informative at the same time, never a dull moment in the classroom and I learned a lot!

I love this driving school it prepared me so much thanks to the teacher mr. peter

I had a great experience at this school. Our teacher, Rafael, made class fun and interesting all the time. While doing behind the wheel, I had Rafael and Peter teach me and they were very helpful. Mostly Peter, he always corrected me in a kind way, was always calm and relaxed, and made driving seem fun most of the time. He is always talking about things to look out for and give helpful tips, and overall is a great instructor. I would love to drive with him again if I could.

When I first registered for this class, I was expecting the two week class; Monday to Friday to be boring and a class I have to struggle to stay awake. But I had Mr. Peter as my driving instructor and the class blew my expectations out the windows. With his amazing life stories and the people in my class made the two week class a breeze and engaging. I’m glad to have been in Mr. Peters class and I’m confident and ready to drive since taking the class!

Best service! The classes are very informative, the teachers are respectful and friendly. The driving sessions are helpful and are taught by amazing driving instructors. Highly recommend this school to anyone applying. You will most definitely like the Instructor named Chris. Once again, highly recommend for anyone signing up.

Alacantara has the best Instructor PETE..very patient and professional at the same time...I couldnt ask for any better....thanks Pete

Lot of my friends and family have came to this school before that how I knew about the school. Staff very welcoming . They make sure you pass and understand the basic unit of the school. Very interact and very well balance . They have very flexible schedules. Chris very hand on. Hes a great instructor. Only thing I would change is atmosphere of the classroom . It was hot

Special shout out to the Instructor Mr. Peter - he was the BEST instructor ever!!!! thanks for everything and all that you do for us. from making class fun, to sharing stories, to being very helpful and patient behind the wheel. also nice that empanadas were sold during break time 😍

They have the best Professor. He was very good and he master the field. Thanks Pete

Great driving school, highly recommend it. Amazing instructor (Chris). Come to this driving school if you want to learn! From Chris. Dont be fooled by other driving schools. Theyre all nightmares its like walking into hell! STAY AWAY from other driving schools. THIS IS THE BEST DRIVING SCHOOL IN THE AREA (because of Chris.) Chris is a great Driving Instructor hes the best and knows how to explain everything in a way that is both entertaining and educational.

My experience at Alcantara Driving School was great! Chris made it fun and simple. Reverse parking was easier then ever and he knows Driving 101. I loved  the 2 weeks we had, and classes didnt feel like 3 hours. If youre looking for an enjoyable and straightforward class, I would recommend coming to Alcantara  Driving School. Chris is phenomenal!

Honestly, this is probably one of the best driving schools Ive been to. I felt like we were actually being taught rather than being talked to. The cars they had were really nice too, very smooth handling and felt great to practice in. The teachers were great too, especially this one guy there named Chris. Probably one of the best teachers Ive ever had, if you plan on going here definitely ask for him. Overall Id recommend going here.

The laid-back, comfortable atmosphere of this school made the 2-week commitment manageable. The staff are welcoming and more than capable of doing their jobs. Chris’s teaching style is awesome. He makes learning easy, fun, and effective all at once! I’d recommend this school to any new driver.

Alcantara driving school is an amazing driving school in the area. The instructors are amazing and will teach you all the important things about driving. Chris and Hector, the driving instructors, were far the most chilliest, and calm people that youd have in a car with you. Theyll push themselves for us future drivers to properly learn how to drive knowing theyre risking their lives with unexperienced drivers. Chris is a funny instructor and yall love his stories.

This school I would recommend to everyone. Chris my class instructor made learning fun and interesting. Not only are you taught about how to drive vehicles but you learn key maintenance stuff, how to buy, insurance and all of important stuff you should know. Hector my driving instructor helped to build my confidence on driving on the road because at first I was so scared. He is patient and he knows his stuff. 2 weeks ran off quick having fun while learning.

This Driving School has a very positive and easy to follow learning environment. The class was extremely enjoyable and the instructor was clear in explaining not only the basic knowledge but went on to teach practical life lessons on owning a car and went above and beyond what was needed. This was overall more helpful than the average driving school and I would definitely recommend to all.

This school to me is one of the best in this county and their service is up to standard in all aspects. Am so happy to be a product of this school. A big shout out to CHRIS our teacher and instructor.💚💚💚

Finally got my license thanks to Alcantara Driving School, I’ve been driving for years but I came here and learned a lot of new things, but I wanna give a special shout out to Peter, the instructor, helped me all the way to the end . A really patient young man who took his time teaching us in class and on the road . Made me feel ready enough to go get my road test. Anything I needed he was there to help. I hope everyone that comes to the school gets him as a teacher, So ill give this school a 5 star cause I can’t complain about the service ! Thank you !

Chris is the best!!!He will teach you everything in detail with enthusiasm! A+He trusted me to drive in a difficult area! He gave me confidence. He is very patient!!!It was never a boring 3-hours class. He provides COFFEE as well! He always make sure we understand his lesson! It’s a wow! I definitely WOULD RECOMMEND this school.

If I could, I would rate zero. The instructor was on his phone talking while I was driving, then he was watching YouTube videos. He kept checking his phone and wasn’t paying attention. I highly do not recommend this place at all.

Alcantara driving school has been one of the greatest driving schools in the area. Its not expensive and they teach what you will need to know for the future. Chris, one of the instructors, is by far one of the greatest instructors there! He is fun, chill, and shows you many things that youll be greatful for! Its amazing :)

Alcantara Driving School has been a surprise. I did not expect it to speed by as fast as it did. Christopher, my teacher, was the key reason for this surprise. He made the class very funny, interesting, and extremely easy to understand with storytelling and the way he executed explaining certain topics. I highly recommend Alcantara as a first choice for anyone who is looking for a good driving school.

The instructor (Chris) is great! He keeps the class entertained and teaches us a lot more than the things we need to know for the final. I would definitely recommend going here :).

At first I didnt want to go to this driving school but my whole perspective changed. The instructor (Chris) made it fun and it wasnt boring at all. Even during my practices, he gave me positive feedback which made it better. I recommend this driving school for anyone whos trying to learn how to drive and not crash and die 😂😅

Alcantara Driving School is really good school. Chris teaches more than you need. Theres a lot of helpful information. I dont regret coming into this school. Everyone here is friendly.

Really Good learning experience. The room is small so don’t join with a large class, but nice place to get a foundation of driving and learn a little more. Nice staff, plus not bad cup of coffee.

I would give 0 stars if possible. My experience was a nightmare on the day of the test. They asked me to pay $100 in cash to rent a car for my road test. It was a third party car in horrible condition to say the least. The driver accompanying me was extremely rude and behaved inappropriately. He slapped my hand several times when I was trying to check certain controls before starting to drive, he even held my wrist for no reason. He barely spoke any English and kept ridiculing me for not understanding what he was saying. The mirrors were stained and the dashboard had some soft drink spilled all over, there was trash spilled near the gear and the list goes on. The worst part is, I left my learners permit in his gear box by mistake and when I called to get it, he denied to come back. The next day I called the driving school and they said they have no accountability for any lost items and brazenly asked me to get a replacement from MVA. When I told them what had happened, all I got was, Im sorry you had a bad customer experience and the manager hung up on me after that. I would never recommend this school to anyone! Terrible experience!

This school is great. Truly my expierence there was amazing. The best instructor there is Chris. He is professional and cool. I have learn a lotThank you

Chris was an amazing instructor. He helped me practice my reverse parking even though I struggled with it a lot. In the classes he is so full of energy and its never a dull moment. 5/5.

Alkantara driving school is Very helpful, informative & good instructors are here. Also they provide coffee during class!! Specially Chris is a good instructor for 6 hr practice sessions. Chris is fun guy. But I don’t like Hector as my instructor for practice.

Alcantara is the best school in Maryland overall. The classes are significantly true to the the reviews. I enjoyed the classes so much, not boring and really informative. The instructor gives you a lot tips how to maintain your car and save money. Chris, was my instructor. Very skillful, encouraging and patient during practice. Thank you for everything Chris. You are the best!!! Driving License Test, here I come!

An amazing school. Interesting, nice, and chill instructors. Fun learning environment. Open practice time schedule. Just has everything for you to succeed.

Excellent facilities, good cars & ease to learn in your own language.Very nice & kind instructors!!! With patience & humility were the ways I learned. Nice service, easy to get along with & accessible timetable.

Learned a lot. And had so much fun. Mr. Chris was actually funny and helpful. Im gonna miss you all tho. 😎😎

Great school, and Chris is a great teacher. Also have night classes which helps out people who work or go to school in the day! Recommend this school 100%.

This school is amazing, Chris is the best instructor and teacher ever. Hes always putting extra effort into his lessons and the school is just friendly in general. I loved it there and would highly recommend it!

Great school! Chris makes the class LIT 🤪🤟🏽He’s also a great teacher and instructor. 10/10 would recommend 🗣🗣

My instructor was the best. Mr. Chris Bryant teaches like no one else. Best class hands down.

Pretty good school. Good information. Teacher knows his stuff. Driving instructor, Peter, very patient and helpful and nice.

My experience with Alcantara was amazing. I would most definitely recommend this school to anyone. Chris is an amazing instructor. Hector is great on the road, amazing team overall.

It was definitely a great experience. I would recommend it to my friends and family. The professor are nice!! 😊😊

I highly recommend this driving school. Chris the teacher/driving instructor was extremely helpful through out the two weeks. He makes it so you can understand & also pass the class with ease.

This is one of the nastiest driving school experiences someone can ever have . How people can give this a 4 star rating is beyond my imagination. Well I would strongly advice you not to even give a single penny here. The car they allocated was stinky, had food and trash inside and had many broken parts. Well to top it off they had a rude driver who would touch you unnecessarily to show off his expertise and could barely communicate in English. On making a call to their office all they say is Sorry for a bad customer experience . So I chose to write this one down so that people dont get fooled by their fake ratings

Oh hooooOOOONEY! Yo girl actually liked this class. When you go there, you actually feel excited to learn, and all the things Chris, the teacher/instructor, teaches stays with you. You wont just forget the next day. He even taught me information that will help me in the long run. Honestly I seriously recommend. Get into it. Appreciate it. Learn the right way to manejar.

Mr Peter deserves standing ovation!!

I always heard that driving school was boring but when I came in here, it was the total opposite. The instructor, Chris, made it really fun and made it easier to want to come to class everyday for 2 weeks. I definitely learned a lot and am forever grateful that this was the school I went to.

They are amazing. I actually learned a lot in this school. :) Highly recommend it! Mr. Alcantara is very great at teaching! Every day you learn so so much!

Best driving school and the best teacher Mr.Peter he was so chill and nice and he teached me a lot and I learned a lot of new things and he was understandable when I had an emergency and I got to my location and he was making sure i was driving good and the classes were fun. I was expecting classes to be boring but these classes were fun and I had a good time going here.

I would definitely recomend this school. they are professional especilally the instructor named Chris hes funny he makes sure u understand everything. Go there if u want to learn. I had a good experience

Great school, great instructor (Chris), great service. Engaging as can be for driving school. Flexible with class times and driving schedule. Good location. Learned a lot of practical skills about car matainence. Great driving school.

Kind staff, smells good inside, couches are great! I honestly dont know why you should choose another driving school. I dont know about other instructors but mr. Peter is the goat. I doubt the guy is hated by someone.

Great Learning experience thanks to Mr. Peter, who made it easy and fun for me.

I came to this school thinking Its going to be boring two week class you cant get out of. I was proved wrong on the very first day. The instructor (chris) was really nice.He made the class really fun. Now Im actually sad the class is over. I would recommend this driving school for everyone that wants to take this 36 hour driving class.Its been a pleasure being being one of his students.

A lot of my friends said driving school was a joke and extremely boring but my instructor, Chris, made it really informational. He taught all the information in a way that made it very interesting. Definitely recommend this school. Chris was lit!

Mr Peter is the best instructor and he knows what he is doingggggggg...... AND THE EMPANADAS THEY SERVED ARE THE BESTTTTT 🥙🥙🥙🥙💙💛💜❤💗🖤

Awesome school, the instructors (Chris) make the classes fun and you wont even notice the two weeks because time passed so fast. They go way beyond what is needed tobe taught in a regular driving class. The road part (Hector) helps you prepare for the open and close road test and both are very chill. BEST SCHOOL IM THE AREA, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Its the best driving school Ive ever been to. Ive learned so much about the basic maintenance of cars all the way up to advanced details of car insurance which was very surprised and revelant to my life. Chris was a very amazing instructor and showed me how to drive probably, reverse park, and parallel park. I would recommend this driving school to anyone that asks where to go.

Everyone was very polite and encouraging, the teacher chris went above and beyond to make everyone in the class comfortable and was very knowledgeable as well as patient during driving sessions, he also had a creative way of teaching which made it fun and interesting to learn. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone who needs to take drivers ed

Best driving school. They have the best instructors (Chris). He really made us feel comftable and taught us alot. I highly recommend this school to anyone.

Great experience. Chris, one of the instructors keeps the class fun and interesting. You wont be disappointed!

Had a great time learning at Alcantara Driving School. Chris made the class fun and engaging making it easy to learn all of the information.

I liked the school I got along with my fellow students and my teacher (Chris) was a great teacher he is funny and made the class a lot interesting.

Good instructors that keep it simple. Cars are in good condition. Chris is super cool.

Chris is the best and makes the class fun, the behind the wheels were informative and makes it a great way to practice what you learn and it was a chill environment and great place to take the driving school, learned a lot of life lessons on insurance and car buying, so worth it.

See update below.Teaching is good. The instructor Rafael is calm and patient person. But my experience with the payment was awful. During my first road test, Alcantaras accompanying person came 1 hour late and we reached the DMV almost half an hour after my scheduled appointment. I did not pass the test. During the second time, DMV took 2.5 hours to process my paperwork (no fault of mine; DMV was upgrading their software). In the end, I passed the test. However, Alcantaras front desk told me that they will charge me $50 for excess time taken at DMV. The accompanying lady said that taking me to DMV took all of her day. On average, the road test takes 1.5 hours at DMV. So, my test took only one hour above the average. If DMV is crowded, then it easily takes more than 1.5 hours. This is not a fault of the customer. There is no guarantee that ones road test and paperwork at DMV will be completed in 1.5 hours. When I pointed out that, during the first test, the Alcantara accompanying lady herself was late by one hour, the front desk simply shrugged it off and charged me $40. This is simply a rip-off. There was no heads-up that I will be charged for excess time or that the standard time limit for renting their vehicle is 1.5 hours. They came up with this only after I returned to Alcantara to collect my change. My whole experience with Alcantara turned out to be very unpleasant. I asked them to refund $40 but they refused.Update: Yesterday, I complained via email and phone to the owner/instructor Rafael. He directed the front desk to refund me $40.

Good learning atmosphere, experienced and nice instructors, good cars and learning facilities. I recommend this school for my friends and family.

It is a good school to learn all what concerns driving and to get more advices how to be a good driver.

Great driving school with outstanding instructor (Chris). Highly recommended!

Great great great experience, really informative, I really learned the essence of what it means to be a safe driver as well as the signage and colors of the signage to differentiate what is and is not acceptable on the road, IM RECOMMENDING TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND YOU SHOULD TOO.~HAPPY CUSTOMER

Great instructors, will never feel like a 3 hour course. Lots of enthusiasm and character, 10 days go by in a breeze!

Terrible experience while renting a car for the road test. Would never recommend it to anyone. They rent out third party cars for the skill test and dont even assure that its in good condition. If you dont understand Spanish like me you are bound to get frustrated with the service.

Alcantara driving school provided me with all the necessary knowledge, and they have good instructors, that would guide you, and help you improve you’re driving.

After I paid for the practice, my reservation was cancelled. Now I have waited for 3 weeks and still can not make any new reservation, and they can not tell me when to open . It is ridiculous.

Great school good teachers (Chris) not boring like other school very interactive time goes by quick recommend 100%

Great learning experience, had an easy time sitting in the classroom learning, a lot of the subjects despite how one may think that it’s gonna be boring but the instructors make it so it’s fun. Had a great time

Very good school,Peter is a very good teacher.would definitely recommend it.apperciate .

What a excellent driving school,Chris is the man,it really worked for me,every class was fun but elaborate, like to the depth💯%

Chris is an amazing instructor..I enjoyed every bit of the class.it was pretty convenient.Their services are awesome.

This driving school was fun Chris is a phenomenal teacher and wat he teaches it stays with you . Also he tells you a lot of stories that helpYou in life in general .

Chris is a great instructor, the class will never feel like 3 hours and you will learn alot.

This joint was very helpful if you know “what I mean” (inside joke) but frfr I actually got knowledge about life- Chris

Alcantara Driving school is a great school, Chris the instructor is a very chill dude. His way of explaining and teaching are very good.

Great class with amazing teachers !! Chris is nicer then what I expected. I loved the environment there . Highly recommend!!

This school is a great school the teacher is a great instructer and good service too ☕️

The best school in Maryland staff is nice and attractive and Chris is the best teacher, really teach you a lot.

You can tell that this school actually takes the time to teach their students very well and it wont come at a high cost (I found that they cost less than other driving schools). I enjoyed their classes and I learned a lot from them. Many of my friends complain about their driving schools being very impersonal and I have to say this wasnt the case with Alcantra Driving School. I highly recommend this school for people who actually want to get something out of their classes and not for people who will have a trying to get this requirement out of the way attitude.

Chris is an awesome teacher he listens to you and he really makes you work on what you arent confident in. All around great school great staff!

Best driving school ever and especially the instructor Chris is awesome and very helpful 👍

Chris is the best I did some private practices with him so polite, patient and gave me so much confidence am so excited to go up for my license. Thank you Chris

As long as u pay attention, you should be more than prepared

This school is the best,cars in good condition and good instructors too.They show you everything and push you to the maximum.I would like to think all your staff.keep up the good work.thanks chris .
