Fly Driving School Victoria — Instructor Nasir, Class 4 Rideshare, Victoria + Duncan Coverage
2811 Lunar Court, Victoria BC · ICBC-certified · 7 AM–10 PM · 7 days a week · Class 5, 7 & 4
👵 Senior 55+ program
🌉 Victoria + Duncan
Extended hours
Fly Driving School Ltd is a genuinely useful Victoria driving school for two very specific reasons. First: it’s the only Vancouver Island driving school we’ve reviewed that covers both Greater Victoria AND Duncan — that’s 60 km of Vancouver Island served by one operation, spanning from Langford in the south to the Cowichan Valley in the north. Second: it’s the only Victoria driving school we’ve reviewed that has Class 4 Rideshare lessons available RIGHT NOW (Exact Driving School lists their Class 4 as “coming soon”). If you’re an Uber, Lyft, or taxi driver in the Greater Victoria area, this is important.
The school is at 2811 Lunar Court in the View Royal / West Shore area of Greater Victoria. Main instructor Nasir is named in review after review. He’s ICBC-certified, works under the BC Motor Vehicle Act, and covers a wide service area. And the hours are legitimately impressive: 7 AM to 10 PM Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 10 PM Saturday and Sunday. That’s a 15-hour weekday and 12-hour weekend window. Seven days. Every week.
Reviews across Yelp, Google, and directory sites paint a consistent picture: Nasir is calm, professional, teaches efficiently, and gets students through their road test — often on the first attempt.
What Fly Driving School Offers
Class 5 & Class 7 Lessons
Standard beginner (Class 7 for L → N) and Class 5 road test preparation. All lessons are one-on-one with certified instructors. Real reviewer quote: “in just 5 lessons I learned from scratch to being able to drive completely by my own.”
Class 4 Rideshare (Uber/Lyft/Taxi)
Class 4 Road Test Vehicle Package = 60-min refresher + use of Fly’s vehicle for the road test + professional support on test day. If you want to drive Uber or Lyft in Victoria, this is the license you need — and Fly has this available NOW.
Senior Refresher (55+)
A 1-hour dedicated program for drivers 55 and over — confidence rebuilding and skill refresh. Very few Victoria driving schools have a specific “senior” offering. Fly and Joan Wallace are the two we’ve found.
They also offer a Road Test Package for the actual test day: 2 hours total, including a 45-minute warm-up drive before your road test, full skill assessment, and debrief. Standard practice at professional driving schools but Fly publishes the exact structure so you know what you’re getting.
💡 Class 4 rideshare — why this matters in Victoria
To drive commercially in BC (Uber, Lyft, taxi, small buses, ambulance) you need a Class 4 driver’s licence. That requires a road test with different vehicle standards than Class 5. Most Victoria driving schools don’t teach Class 4 at all. Fly does — and their Road Test Vehicle Package means you can rent their car for the test day, which is essential because your regular family car might not meet ICBC’s Class 4 vehicle standards.
The Lunar Court Location — West Shore Advantage
2811 Lunar Court is in the View Royal / West Shore area of Greater Victoria. Postal code V9B puts you close to Colwood, the Belmont Village area, and easy access to Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway). This location is meaningfully different from most Victoria driving schools:
- Highway 1 direct access — great for teaching highway merging, essential for the Class 5 test
- Sooke Road corner — one of the trickier interchanges in Greater Victoria, good for building real driving confidence
- Belmont Village + Latoria Blvd corridors — mixed traffic conditions, real-world practice
- Access to ICBC Langford office (2924 Jacklin Rd) — 5 minutes away, ideal for West Shore students who test there instead of McKenzie
- Access to Malahat Drive — the mountain highway route to Duncan, which Fly uses for their two-city coverage
Then there’s the Duncan angle. Fly serves Duncan and the Cowichan Valley too. That’s 60 km north of Victoria via the Malahat. If you live in Duncan, Cowichan, Mill Bay, or Cobble Hill, most driving schools in Victoria won’t come to you — but Fly does. That’s rare and valuable for West Coast Vancouver Island residents outside Greater Victoria.
The Extended Hours Actually Matter
Fly’s booking window is genuinely one of the widest in Victoria driving school territory:
The practical value: shift workers, university students, working adults, and parents can all find windows that work. Early morning (7 AM start weekdays) is great for teaching rush hour traffic conditions. Evening hours (until 10 PM) let you practice dusk driving, which appears on ICBC winter road tests. Full weekend coverage means teens can book without missing school.
Only Wise and Smart and Victoria Driving School Inc come close to matching this flexibility. Fly is squarely in the extended-hours tier of Victoria driving schools.
Who Is Nasir? The Instructor Students Name
Nasir is the ICBC-certified main instructor whose name appears in virtually every review. The school’s own about page describes their instructors as “profoundly experienced driving teachers with an abundance of involvement and mastery in Canadian driving regulations and guidelines.”
What reviewers consistently say about Nasir:
- Calm demeanour — good with anxious learners
- Understands ICBC test requirements — teaches specifically to what examiners look for
- Fast-paced but efficient — students report passing after very few lessons
- Loves his job — this actually comes up in multiple reviews, unusual specificity
- Good with international drivers — students with foreign driving experience report solid results
What Real Students Say About Nasir
Real Yelp and directory reviews of Fly Driving School with the actual student comments. The pattern is remarkably consistent — Nasir named specifically, first-attempt passes, calm and efficient teaching.
“I highly recommend Fly Driving School! Instructor is very calm, happy and knowledgeable. Really helped me build my confidence and teach me useful lessons. I even passed my N test on the first try!”
— Class 7 student, first-attempt N pass · ★★★★★

— Duncan/Cowichan Valley student · Yelp · ★★★★★
The consistent themes across reviews
Reading through Fly’s reviews on multiple platforms, four things come up over and over:
- Nasir named specifically — his personal reputation drives the school’s reputation
- First-attempt passes are common — both Class 5 and Class 7
- Fast, efficient learning — reviewers repeatedly mention passing in unusually few lessons (3-5)
- International drivers benefit — students with foreign driving experience specifically credit Nasir with adapting to their existing skills
By the Numbers
Fly Driving School is Motor Vehicle Act licensed. Late arrival policy: if you arrive up to 15 minutes late, you’ll receive the balance of your scheduled lesson (reasonable — similar to Latz). Booking is available online through their website, phone, or Facebook message.
Fly Driving School vs Other Victoria Options
Here’s how Fly compares to the other Victoria driving schools we’ve reviewed:
Latz Driving School Ltd (Gordon Head)
Both single-instructor operations. Latz focuses on new immigrants; Fly focuses on speed of learning and unique services (Class 4, senior refresher). Latz is East Saanich, Fly is West Shore.
Wise and Smart Driving School (Quadra Street)
Both have extended hours (Wise and Smart 7 AM–10 PM). Wise and Smart is central Victoria with perfect 5.0 rating; Fly wins on Class 4 rideshare availability and Duncan coverage.
Globex Driving Academy (View Royal)
Also West Shore location. Globex has more raw review volume (592 across platforms) and longer establishment; Fly has newer positioning with Class 4 rideshare and Duncan coverage.
Joan Wallace Driving School (Cook Street)
Both offer senior programs. Wallace is a 50-year institution with 5+ instructors; Fly is a smaller single-instructor operation. Wallace wins on institutional trust; Fly wins on Class 4 and Duncan coverage.
Exact Driving School (Mobile)
Both list Class 4 rideshare but with a key difference: Fly’s Class 4 is available NOW, Exact’s is “coming soon.” If you need Class 4 in Victoria today, Fly is your option. Exact wins on multilingual instruction (Punjabi/Hindi/Urdu).
Victoria Driving School Inc (West Burnside)
Both cover extended hours and single-owner-operator model. Victoria Driving School Inc has the Malahat highway lesson signature; Fly has actual Duncan coverage (they go up the Malahat to serve students there).
Mary’s Driving School (Mobile)
Mary’s has female instructor (unique) and published prices; Fly has male instructor Nasir with Class 4 rideshare and Duncan coverage. Different niches, both mobile-friendly.
Honest verdict: Fly Driving School is the top choice if you need Class 4 rideshare lessons (Uber/Lyft/taxi), if you live in Duncan or the Cowichan Valley, if you’re a senior (55+) wanting a refresher program, or if you’re on the West Shore and want a school with real West Shore roots. If you specifically want female instruction, multilingual lessons, or central Victoria location, one of the other schools fits better.
Common Questions
Is the Class 4 rideshare option really available right now?
Yes — Fly Driving School’s booking page lists a Class 4 Road Test Vehicle Package that includes a 60-minute refresher, use of their vehicle for the road test, and professional support on test day. This is meaningfully different from Exact Driving School which currently lists Class 4 as “coming soon.” If you need Class 4 for Uber, Lyft, taxi, or small commercial driving in Victoria today, Fly is your option.
Where do I take my ICBC road test?
Most Fly students test at the ICBC Langford office at 2924 Jacklin Road — closer to Fly’s Lunar Court location. East Saanich students may prefer the ICBC McKenzie office at 4370 Blanshard Street. Duncan students test at the ICBC Duncan office. Confirm with Fly which one Nasir recommends for your specific situation.
Does Fly really serve Duncan?
Yes — Fly Driving School Ltd explicitly serves Duncan and the surrounding Cowichan Valley communities. There’s a specific Duncan booking option on their site. If you live in Mill Bay, Cobble Hill, Cowichan Bay, Duncan, or Chemainus, Fly is one of the very few driving schools that will come to you. Most Victoria driving schools stop at the top of the Malahat.
What’s the Senior Refresher program?
A dedicated 1-hour lesson designed for drivers 55 and over — focused on confidence rebuilding and skill refresh. Useful for seniors preparing for BC driver’s licence renewal, seniors returning to driving after time away, or seniors adjusting to new medical conditions that affect driving. Very few Victoria driving schools have this specific program.
Can I request Nasir specifically?
Nasir appears to be the primary named instructor across all reviews. When you call, ask for his availability. Given his review pattern, popular time slots book out — plan ahead if you need lessons within a specific window.
What if I’m running late?
If you arrive up to 15 minutes late, you’ll receive the balance of your scheduled lesson (per Fly’s published policy). More reasonable than the strict 10-minute-cutoff at some other Victoria schools. Beyond 15 minutes, check with Nasir directly.
How do I book?
Call (250) 508-3000 — any day of the week during their extended hours. You can also book through their website (flydrivingschool.ca) or message their Facebook page (facebook.com/flydrivingschool). Mention what class you need (5, 7, or 4) and whether you’re Victoria-area or Duncan-area.
Should You Book with Fly?
Fly Driving School occupies a specific niche in the Victoria driving school market that no other school we’ve reviewed fully covers: Class 4 rideshare lessons available NOW, real Duncan/Cowichan Valley coverage, a dedicated senior 55+ program, extended 7 AM–10 PM hours seven days a week, and West Shore location. That combination is genuinely useful for a specific set of students.
Nasir’s review pattern is consistently strong — calm, efficient, professional, fast-paced learning that produces first-attempt passes. Reviewers use words like “loves his job” and “cares about students’ future safety” that go beyond typical driving-instructor review language. That’s a real personal reputation, not manufactured.
The best fit for Fly Driving School: prospective Uber/Lyft drivers needing Class 4, Duncan or Cowichan Valley residents who don’t want to drive down to Victoria for lessons, seniors wanting refresher lessons, West Shore residents, shift workers who need evening slots, and international drivers converting foreign licenses. Not the best fit if you specifically need female instruction, multilingual lessons, or a multi-instructor school with backup options.
Call (250) 508-3000 — ask for Nasir’s availability, mention what class you need (5, 7, or 4), and confirm your location so they can quote pickup logistics.
