Gain driving confidence, safely and quickly

Street Smart

Singapore's only FREE driving refresher course.

Be A Better DriverTalk to us

nervous behind the wheel?

The first few times are gonna be scary.

Whether you have just passed your driving test or have not driven for a long while, it's normal to experience driving anxiety. Cars here are expensive, and you don't want to risk damaging your car, (or others) and incur that additional insurance premium. Much more important than that, why risk the safety of yourself and your family just to save that $200-$300 on a refresher course?

That's why, we've made noto’s Street Smart Programme completely FREE — you only cover the cost of your car rental.

With practice and structured instruction under noto's Street Smart Programme, we promise you'd be up to speed in no time, as long as you practice. Our cars are a symbol of our freedom.

But it is meaningless if we drive around in fear.

why is it free?

Some good things in life are free

There has been a rising number of accidents recently. As a car community, we want the roads to be a safer place for everyone. We've heard from many P-plate drivers who don't feel confident enough to head to the expressway, mothers returning to work after a long layoff who feel anxious about road conditions, and new citizens not being able to get use to the hustle and bustle of our streets.

We as a community feel that we can use our experience, to make our roads a better and more welcoming place for every driver. That's why we have a bunch of mentors who are offering their time for free. That's how we can make this free for you.

The Street Smart programme

This is where Street Smart comes in.

We pair you with our experienced drivers who will share and guide you to feel more confident on Singapore's roads.

real-world-application

Real World Application

We've worked extensively with both new and experienced drivers to structure the topics you'll learn to be a safe and confident driver on the road. It includes driving along expressways, parking in actual carparks, and more.

mentoring-guidance

Mentoring Guidance

Our patient and friendly mentors will assist and guide you to learn the fundamentals well so that you can take the wheel confidently in any road situation or traffic condition.

at-your-own-pace

At your own Pace

Everyone learns differently and at their own pace. Each of our Street Smart lessons is different for each individual. You can learn how you want to, at your own pace.

Our programme focuses on real-world, practical, day-to-day applications and not the "show-off" type driving tactics. As a new driver or someone who last drove awhile ago, you need a mentor and a buddy who truly wants you to be great at driving. At noto, we love cars and want everyone to be comfortable, possibly even love, driving them.

Whether it's encountering road hoggers, fierce and unreasonable drivers, we're here to smooth that out. The journey to become an experienced driver need NOT be a long and arduous one.

We're here to make you feel safe, and keep a look out for you.

Driving made easy

Your personal driving buddy.

We want you to move at the pace that you and focusing on the things that you need help with. Our volunteer mentors are here to guide you, completely free.

Structured programme

Street Smart programme covers a wide range of topics that every new or returning driver needs.

No registration fees

No need for registration fees. Just pick a package and get going. Because our mentorship is free, waitlists can be long.

At your convenience

We will pick you up and drop you off for each lesson so you will have no trouble getting to or from every lesson.

Zero-excess rental

For those who don't have a car, we have arranged for a zero-excess rentals, so you can refresh with a peace of mind.

By the time you are done, you will be safe, confident, and comfortable driving on your own.

Wait. Why are you doing this?

At noto we love cars and want everyone to be comfortable, and possibly even love, driving them.

A more forgiving, friendly and less stressful roads would be awesome for all drivers and car lovers (like us) alike.

This is why our Street Smart programme exists.

your options

Don't Be a Lost Sheep or a Money Tree

When you already have your licence, your usual choices are figuring it out alone or paying steep fees for driving refresher.

Self-taught

You're. All. Alone. If there's no one to guide you, you'll have to get your own car and get it figured out on your own. You never know, one wrong move might cause you to get into a car accident (Touchwood. But we say, better be safe than sorry).

Driving School

Probably one of the better ways to get started, but it can be pricey. Usually it requires a $100++ registration fee before you even begin a lesson, not to mention some schools require you to attend at least 5 lessons. Imagine the cost.

Private instructors

Private instructors will vary widely in quality and the good ones are usually fully booked by learners preparing for their TP test. On top of that, you'll also have to pay a hefty enrolment fee for licensed drivers who just want real-world confidence.
