SafeDriver

This business is a scam. They are all out to get more money from you. Got 11/20 and was asked to pay another full amount for a retake which was not posted on their website.Safedriver.com is a waste of precious time. It is all a scam to get you to pay more for nothing.

The site charges $25.00 for the defensive driving course, after you pay up front and complete the course... it then offers to email you your certificate immediately... for an additional $30.00 and then goes onto warn you that the postal service loses mail all the time and that you might not even receive your certificate if you decide to have it mailed to you... so you'd better pay the extra email fee and then add another guarantee on top of that for $14.99 so that it'll reach your email no matter what happens... that's the only way to make sure you get it.

Disgusting business practice.

The sign-up and advertising is very misleading. They advertise $25 and that the certificate will be emailed to you -- but the email is an additional $30. Other online courses are much more reputable. SafeDriver does NOT show you BEFORE you pay the $25 how much it will cost to have it e-mailed. Others will. Do yourself a favor, save money, and take another course.

Also -- don't believe the ShopperApproved reviews they have - those are bought and paid for.

The test part is pretty straight forward, how ever upon attempting to process the certificate they attempt to have you purchase add on after add on. Would not recommend this company.

What a scam, you sit for 4 hours and I clicked that I didn't want the Completed certificate sent to me, I opted for NO extras and I still was charged 2x $26.95 and $25.30. When I called up to resolve the representative told me that was to send the certificate in 1 day. Go to a traffic attorney and spend the $50 then you are not wasting 4 hours on the weekend taking this ridiculous class. I called up my credit card company and they took the charge off!

-- I got lucking, Judge was nice enough to accept the Certificate, even though, Did not get court approval prior to taking Course. If not accepted would have had to retaking the course and repay charges. I feel as if SafeDrive should have informed and even re-confirm that Student (you) have already confirm with court.
-- SO BE AWARE AND VERIFY.

I don't want to have to report this company to the Better Business Bureau. I will be forced to do so if my certificate of completion does not reach the New Jersey DMV by this week. It's already the end of APRIL! I am out of work now and Amazon will not approve my background check until the New Jersey DMV takes 2 points off of my license. The DMV is waiting to receive my certificate of completion for this driving course. I completed this course at the beginning of April 2023. It's taking too long to reach dmv nj. I can't work til dmv gets it & takes the points off of my driving record. I am out of work until my certifiable of completion reaches the NJ DMV. Please escalate my certificate of completion to the New Jersey DMV. Amazon will not approve my background check until the 2 points come off of my license. I keep repeating myself because this is an extremely urgent matter!
Thank You.

Choose an email copy of certificate.
-Its 25.00 for the class...
- Another 29.00 for email copy
-its like 7-8 hours. (WAY TOO LONG).
- 10 Timed pages- you can not proceed until timer is up and they force 10-15 minute breaks (about 2)
- Too many authenticity pop-ups.
- Cheesy Comedian videos. (Think grade school)
- Common sense; Easy to pass (but they give 3 chances if you struggle)
- Nickel and dime offers for upgrades and shipping. Just pay the 25 for class and 29 for email copy, Email copy delivered to me within 30 min.
- Its Ok, but will never choose this site again.

When you have completed the payment method page you go to a page to add extras. When you submit payment for a course the website malfunctions and tells you that you need to correct information, but it has already charged your card. If you review your information or re-enter it and click on the complete purchase hotspot it will charge you again. Here is the scam. It never advances beyond the page that tells you need to correct errors. So, Each time you hit the complete payment; it charges you. After you have given up, check your credit card. You will find multiple charges for the same purchase. Good luck trying to get your money back. I guess I'll find out on Monday as they are only open from 9-5 and per other reviews tend to not be very responsive. It would be great to provide a receipt or other proof of purchase but since you never get past the payment page you never get a receipt or confirmation. In fact, if you don't regularly check your credit card transactions you would not even know that they charged you multiple times until you get your bill and wonder why it is oddly higher than expected.

Took course. Lost 4 hours and 37.00.
Allstate did not honor the discount even though it states in bold letters in the heading, "ALLSTATE Driver's Defense Course"
The website us actually "defensive drivingcourses.com/allstate-auro-car-insurance-discount-defense-driving/ This is a third party, however, it appears as an official allstate site. This sounds like a class action lawsuit. Zero Stars!
PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY BEFORE... TAKING THIS COURSE.

They ask way too many authentication questions and then lock you out of your account if you miss too many(you have 90 seconds to answer), then when you call to unlock it they quiz you to reopen it. I am sure if I would have failed, they would have used it as an excuse to charge me again. If I knew it was this tedious I would've just gone to the class in person and been done with it. I am afraid they are going to try to charge me again for my certificate after reading the other reviews. Very shady and misleading.

They are not honest about the cost or process up front. You must order and pay (in addition to the $25 you pay for the class, for your driving record and receive it prior to starting the class. When you finish the class( the one you pay $25 for) there is another fee to get the certificate of completion. The class itself is good, but they need to be honest about the cost of everything and the order that you need to work upfront. The website outside of the material is poorly done and not user friendly. They would not have to pay so many people to answer customer calls if they were honest upfront and put a better designed website in place.

Terrible. Do not try this, guys. Rip off. I don't mind it when they disclose it. They wanted $29 to EMAIL the certificate after I finished it. Not fair. I hate people like this. Greedy $#*!.

Scam... $5.95 Special on the class. My butt! Ofc you end up paying $30 for the certificate or else its like you never took the stupid class. Then DMV has to get notified or else it will take a month to get a discount and for every click you have more charges until you end up paying $70.00

I will be bringing up their model to the Texas Board of Licensure. It is an online course with no way of getting results online without a payment of an additional fee. The cost of the course isn't 25 but closer to $90.00.
I would not recommend this course for anyone in the state of Texas.
