Why choose automatic driving lessons?

Driving in Amsterdam can be intense: trams, bikes, narrow streets and roundabouts everywhere. With an automatic car, you remove the stress of clutch control and shifting gears, so you can fully focus on what happens around you. Automatic lessons are ideal if you’re an expat, a nervous driver, or simply want the most relaxed way to get your Dutch licence. Our instructors adapt the lessons to your experience, so you can progress with confidence.

How our automatic driving lessons work

How our automatic driving lessons work

From your very first lesson you’ll be driving in real traffic – but in a calm and controlled way. Our instructors take the time to explain everything clearly, so you always know what to do and why. You drive with the same instructor in a modern automatic car with the latest safety systems, so you can focus on learning instead of worrying about the car.

Step by step, we move from quieter roads to busier Amsterdam streets and CBR-style routes. That way you can focus on the traffic instead of the gears, build confidence quickly and feel fully prepared for your practical exam.

  • No clutch or stalling – easier starts at lights and junctions
  • More headspace to watch cyclists, trams and pedestrians
  • Consistent guidance from the same English-speaking instructor
