driver education into the 21st century.
Kruzee’s mission is to make it as easy as possible for new drivers to get licensed, insured, and on the road.
Mikael Castaldo and Osama Siddique started working on Kruzee in 2020 when they became aware of the struggle students go through with traditional driving schools. After interviewing hundreds of students and reading through pages of complaints filed against Canadian driving schools, they decided to build a better way.
Our market-leading platform enables students to book their driving lessons completely online, and allows them to take the self-paced theory course from the comfort of their home. The only part of the program that isn’t online is the in-car education (of course!). We take pride in hiring the best driving instructors in the industry and training them on life-saving defensive driving techniques.
Finally, we know that getting on the road doesn’t stop at licensing. We know how frustrating and expensive auto insurance can get in Canada, and that’s why we’re extending our platform to help our customers access the best auto insurance products in the industry for new drivers (stay tuned!).

We make it easy for you to get your license and get on the road. Our online platform allows you to book your in-car lessons directly with one of our ministry-certified instructors – no more last-minute cancellations or scheduling headaches.
Our instructors are trained on the highest levels of customer service and defensive driving techniques, so you receive the absolute best quality of instruction. Also – we’re 30% cheaper than comparable driving schools!
Yes! Kruzee’s curriculum is ministry approved and all of Kruzee’s instructors are thoroughly vetted and licensed to teach driving in your area. That means you know you’re getting the best curriculum, along with all the benefits of an MTO-approved driving school.
Unlike a traditional driving school, our lesson booking process is entirely online – no phone calls or awkward text exchanges required. First, we ask you to enter your postal code – this helps us find the best instructors in your area. Next, you’ll be asked to select the type of driving lessons you’d like. Whether you’re looking for a full BDE package or just want individual practice lessons, we have you covered. Finally, you’ll select the lesson time and pickup location that’s most convenient for you, and your instructor will meet you there on the day of your lesson.
You can reschedule your lessons as many times as you’d like, up until 24 hours before the lesson. Cancellations within 24 hours are not allowed without a valid doctor’s note, given that last-minute cancellations directly affect our instructors’ earning potential. We appreciate your cooperation!
At Kruzee, we aim to provide the best learning experience for our students. We understand that sometimes, plans change or circumstances arise that might prevent a student from completing their lessons.
We are committed to ensuring fairness and flexibility for our students. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please reach out to us.
Only the top 5% of driving instructors that apply for a position with Kruzee are selected, ensuring that you’re receiving the absolute top quality of instruction available. To identify the best driving instructors in your area, we’ve developed a three-part interview process. First, we assess an instructor’s teaching ability and driving knowledge through an in-car assessment. At this stage, we’re also looking to understand who our instructors are as individuals. We want instructors that demonstrate our core values – patience, kindness, and a passion for education. Next, we verify the instructor’s references, examine past student reviews, and conduct a thorough criminal background and vehicle safety standards check. Finally, we confirm that our driving instructors have all of the necessary licensing and insurance – whether this is at a municipal or provincial level. Given that you’ll be spending over 10 hours in the car with your instructor, we want to make sure that this is somebody you’ll love learning from.
This is correct! Over time, insurance companies have recognized that students who go through an MTO-approved BDE program tend to be safer drivers than students who don’t. As a result, many insurance providers offer a 10-20% discount on your policy if you complete an MTO-approved BDE program. These discounts typically stay on your record for 3-5 years, and can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your policy. As a newer driver, insurance rates tend to be 2-5x higher than more experienced drivers – making every discount particularly helpful.
For specifics, please call your insurance provider to see how much you may be able to save. Kruzee students are also eligible for 5 free auto insurance quotes from our partner auto insurance brokerage, Walnut Insurance.
That is correct! We’ve partnered up with Clutch, Canada’s fastest-growing used car marketplace, to save Kruzee students $400 on their first car.
As a Kruzee student, you’ll be provided with a unique discount code once you complete your lessons to save $400 on your first car with Clutch – regardless of the make, model, or year.
