Russell

Our Home Base

Russell is where our journey began and continues to be our primary training hub. This charming Eastern Ontario community offers the perfect blend of small-town streets and easy access to Highway 417.

About This Area

Our instructors know every street in Russell, from quiet residential areas ideal for beginners to busier routes where you'll master highway merging and complex traffic navigation. Located 40 km southeast of Ottawa, Russell provides excellent training variety with its tree-lined streets, conservation areas, and direct access to the Trans-Canada Highway. As our flagship location, we offer the most comprehensive range of services and scheduling flexibility.

The Best of Both Worlds

At Russell Driving School, we've combined the convenience of online learning with the essential hands-on experience of in-person instruction. This hybrid approach delivers multiple benefits:

More Affordable Pricing

Save 20-30% compared to traditional driving schools without sacrificing quality instruction or MTO-approved certification.

MTO-Approved BDE Course

Receive official Ministry of Transportation approved Beginner Driver Education (BDE) certification, recognized by DriveTest and insurance companies across Ontario.

Learn on Your Schedule

Complete theory lessons online at your own pace, then schedule hands-on driving sessions when it works for you.

Local In-Person Driving

💰Lower Overhead, Better Value
