A No Claims Bonus is earned when you hold your own car insurance policy and do not make a claim.

Please see the terms and conditions for full eligibility details.

Voted by our pupils on Google, see below what Aviva Driving School pupils say
I did my driving lessons through AVIVA in Galway city and my driving instructor John Gillane was brilliant and I was definitely able to pass my test first time because of him. He was very patient with me and gave good feedback that allowed me to improve. He was also very flexible allowing times that suited me. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough.
I had a really positive experience with the Aviva DS. Really affordable packages and overall great service. Couldn’t recommend my instructor, Tom Moylette in Galway, enough. The whole process was straight forward and I passed my driving test first time.
Patricia Aylward Malone that covers the Loughrea /Athlone area was my son Driving Instructor , she was amazing, and extremely Patience with her students and dedicated and helpful to her students. He past his Driving Test first time in Athlone on Wednesday thanks to Patricia and her amazing skills.
Having passed my test in Westside, Galway first time, I hold John Gillane in very high regard. Over the course of 7 months he not only provided an excellent service as an insightful driving instructor, but also offered an extremely welcoming environment every lesson.
