Driving School in Bristow, VA

Serving Prince William County. Pickup may be available in northern Bristow near Gainesville High School.

Serving the Bristow Community

Abba Driving School serves the Bristow, Virginia community located in Prince William County just south of our Haymarket home base. Many of our students here attend Patriot High School, and we regularly pick up and drop off right at the school. We offer all three of our services to Bristow families: behind the wheel training, driver education, and driver improvement courses.

Bristow sits where suburban development meets the rural edges of the county, near Battlefield Heritage Park. This gives our students a unique training environment: residential neighborhoods, busier connectors like Bristow Road and Nokesville Road, and the quieter two-lane roads south of town. Pickup may be available in northern Bristow near Gainesville High School. Contact us for details. Our DMV-certified instructors offer flexible scheduling seven days a week.
