We've got a new name!
If you've visited one of our centers recently, you've likely noticed some improvements. Our cars are newer, our classrooms are more comfortable, and our staff is more helpful than ever.
To reflect these improvements, to better communicate what we do, and to avoid any confusion with another company that had a similar name but closed last year, we're changing our name from Minnie Rates to DriveSafe Driving Schools.
We think you'll agree that DriveSafe more clearly communicates our mission, which is to help all of our students become safe and responsible drivers.
At DriveSafe, we are extremely proud of our heritage and our record of teaching tens of thousands of students to drive safely. Rest assured that we will remain focused on what matters most...preparing students for a lifetime of accident free driving.
