What do we drive during a trial lesson in De Zilk?

First the calm streets around the centre, then the country lanes between the bulb fields. If you already feel at ease, we drive a stretch towards Vogelenzang or Noordwijkerhout, where traffic moves a little faster. That way you see in one go how a lesson here works.

Will you also pick me up if I live just outside the centre?

Yes. The village is small enough for a single pickup route: we're at your door, your place of study or your work, and after the lesson you're back where we picked you up. So travelling for your lesson is never necessary in De Zilk.

Is 2toDrive an option from De Zilk as well?

Yes. Theory can start from your 16th, you may take the wheel from 16.5, and the practical exam follows from your 17th. Because we collect you in the village, you simply begin here — even if school or work lies a little further off.

Driving in De Zilk

What your first lesson in De Zilk feels like

In De Zilk you learn to drive where you live: we park the lesson car right outside your door, whether you're on the edge of the village centre or in one of the calm streets between. You start by learning to pull away, steer and turn on roads where hardly anyone comes, so those first metres aren't nerve-racking.

From there it grows naturally: narrow country lanes between the bulb fields, the rim of the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen and the traffic towards Vogelenzang, Hillegom or Noordwijkerhout. Exactly the kind of roads you'll rely on later in your exam in this region — and you'll hear honestly how many lessons that will take.

Why a trial drive in De Zilk is different here

Your trial lesson starts in the quiet streets around the village centre, where you get used to the car undisturbed.

Then we take the narrow country lanes between the bulb fields, along the edge of the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen dunes.

In De Zilk too, we come to you: the lesson car stops at the kerb wherever you are that day.
