Who it's for

Rather not shift gears? No need to.

An automatic suits you if you mostly drive in town, if shifting gears makes you nervous, or if you'll be driving an automatic anyway.

  • Town and motorwayPulling away and merging without a clutch
  • Also in EnglishFor people who have moved to the Netherlands

Drive

Driving ahead. Accelerate and brake, the car changes gear itself.

Your right foot does accelerator and brake; your left foot has nothing to do.

Questions about automatic lessons?

What does code 78 on my licence mean?

If you pass in an automatic, code 78 goes on your licence: you may then only drive automatic cars.

Can I switch to manual later?

Yes, but you then take another practical exam in a manual car. You can take manual lessons with us for that.

How many driving lessons do I need?

On average about 42 hours of lessons are needed to get your licence (CBR research among exam candidates in 2025). It differs per person. After your trial lesson you get an indication, and if you need more, you add a bundle to your package.

Do I have to take a package?

No, you can also take single lessons. If you choose a package, you pay a lower hourly rate.

What if I have lessons left from my package?

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

Do I have to pay my package in one go?

No, you can also pay in instalments. You pay the first instalment before your first lesson, and the rest by the time you've had half of your lessons. Call or message us to arrange it.
