The Good Stuff
Schedule support
Positive reviews describe staff arranging classes and tests around the learner’s convenient times.
Detailed guidance
Several learners were guided through plans, classes and exam dates from the beginning.
Rebooking help
One review describes the branch spending half an hour rebooking classes as requested.
Encouragement
A learner who had failed tests said the support helped them stay motivated through the process.
Competitive fees
One customer considered the centre’s charges competitive compared with other driving schools.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm inclusions. Before paying for an unlimited plan, confirm in writing whether weekend classes, tests and holiday charges are included.
Allow time. Build in extra time for bookings: one customer reported waiting around two weeks for each class or test.
Use written contact. Keep messages and confirmations, since one learner said repeated follow-ups were needed for basic replies and scheduling.
Check transfer fees. Ask about transfer, cancellation and NOC costs before opening a file, as customers reported charges when leaving.
Expect queues. If you need to book in person, allow for a queue; a review describes a one-to-two-hour wait at the office.
Clarify payments. Confirm payment thresholds and overdue amounts before returning, especially if using instalment services such as Tabby.

The Bottom Line
Galadari Motor Driving Centre at Burjuman Mall handles the main steps towards a UAE driving licence, including driving classes, Driving Theory classes and RTA tests. The strongest reviews focus on clear explanations of plans, help arranging class and exam dates, and assistance with rebooking. A few learners say the process was completed in 30 days or less than 45 days.
The experience appears quite dependent on how smoothly the branch handles your file. Positive customers describe being guided from the start, having schedules arranged around their availability and receiving encouragement after failed tests. That can be valuable if the licensing process feels unfamiliar or stressful.
There are also substantial service cautions. Other reviews mention messages left unanswered, call-centre waits of more than 20 minutes, one-to-two-hour in-office waits and class or test bookings taking around two weeks. Staff changes, rude interactions and difficulty transferring records are recurring concerns in the negative feedback.
Before paying, get the plan inclusions, weekend availability, holiday charges and any transfer or NOC fees confirmed in writing. One customer reported being quoted 716 Dhs for cancellation of a file or NOC, while another encountered conflicting information about Tabby’s minimum payment.
