Many students come to us from other driving schools. This is what they wrote on Google.

“After failing an exam I switched to Amigos […]. Mo was my instructor. From the first lesson he gave me confidence and knew exactly what I needed to work on.”

AmrGoogle · July 2026

“After less good experiences at other driving schools, I finally got the right guidance at Amigos. […] The lessons are professional, the cars modern and clean.”

OlhaGoogle · March 2026

“Understanding. I needed more lessons because I found the information harder to process. But Nor helped me so well with that and the whole process.”

WilsonGoogle · April 2026

Questions about lessons or paying?

Is the trial lesson free?

A trial lesson costs € 50 for 60 minutes. If you then take a lesson package, the trial lesson is free.

What happens in a trial lesson?

Your instructor picks you up wherever you like: home, work or school. After getting to know each other we drive to a quiet area. At the end you hear roughly how many lessons you need and which package fits. That instructor stays your regular instructor.

How many lessons do I need?

On average about 42 hours of lessons are needed (CBR research among exam candidates in 2025). It differs per person. Need more? Add a bundle to your package.

What if I have lessons left?

Passed while you still have lessons left? We settle the difference and refund the amount for the unused lessons.

Can I have lessons in English?

Yes. We teach in Dutch and in English, also if you can already drive and just want to get used to traffic here.

Do I have to take a package?

No, you can also take single lessons. With a package you do pay a lower hourly rate.

How long is a package valid?

A lesson package is valid for 1.5 years.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You get an invoice by e-mail and in the student app, and pay by iDEAL, bank transfer or cash. Call or message us to agree on instalments.

Can I get my licence quickly?

With a crash course you get your licence within 4 to 8 weeks. You need your theory certificate already and the package fully paid.
