What does it cost to get my driver's license?

Our lesson packages start from €1,720 for 20 driving lessons, with larger packages of 30 and 40 lessons for those who want more practice. That way you know exactly where you stand up front, with no surprises later.

How many driving lessons do I need?

That varies from person to person — your age, experience and how quickly you pick things up all play a part. During your free trial lesson we look together at where you stand and make a realistic estimate. Our packages run from 20 to 40 lessons, so there's always a setup that fits your pace.

How does the free trial lesson work?

You hop in with your dedicated instructor with no obligation and head straight onto the road. In that single hour you experience how we teach and we discover together what you can already do and what you'll still work on. Completely free and with no strings attached.

Where do you pick me up for the lesson?

We pick you up wherever suits you: at home, at school or at work, somewhere in our region. That way you don't waste time travelling and your lesson starts right where your day is.

Can I take lessons in the evening or at the weekend?

Yes. We work with flexible lesson times and also schedule lessons in the evening and at the weekend. Handy if you're at school or work during the day — we'll find times together that fit your schedule.

How do I prepare for my theory exam?

Alongside your driving lessons you can practise for free with our online theory tools: practice questions, road signs and more, at your own pace. That way you build up the knowledge you need step by step. For booking and the fees of the theory exam, check cbr.nl.

Which places do you give driving lessons in?

We give lessons in 50+ places in and around Leiden, from Katwijk and Wassenaar to Lisse, Zoetermeer and Alphen aan den Rijn. There's a good chance your town is one of them.

Can I book a fixed lesson day and time?

Yes, you can. Many students drive at a fixed moment each week — a set day and time that we plan together. That way your lesson always falls at the same familiar moment and you keep an easy rhythm in your training.

I still have lessons left in my package after my exam. What happens to them?

Take your exam while there are still lessons left in your package? We simply refund the remaining lessons. So you never pay for lessons you end up not needing.
