LesDirect Autorijschool / Driving School

Fantastische ervaring: Highly recommend! The tests are very challenging for a driver from the US, so this program tailored to expats was a life saver. Lots of practical experience tailored to your level.

Fantastische ervaring: Anken biedt een persoonlijke aanpak die ik enorm waardeer. Ze leert je alles wat je echt moet weten, zonder trucjes of shortcuts. Gewoon écht leren rijden – dát is haar kracht. Dankzij haar begeleiding heb ik mijn rijbewijs in een mum van tijd gehaald. De tarieven zijn bovendien meer dan redelijk; je krijgt echt waar voor je geld. Ik ben ontzettend tevreden, en mijn portemonnee ook! Voor iedereen die op zoek is naar een betrouwbare rijschool, is LesDirect absoluut een aanrader!

Fantastische ervaring: Absolutely loved my driving lessons with Anke, she is kind, patient and funny. She made me feel super relaxed and had a good understanding of my needs and deficits in Dutch driving, with her help I was able to successfully pass my driving exam!! Highly recommend

Fantastische ervaring: I had a very positive experience with Anke and team. The approach of LesDirect brought me the success I was hoping for as an expat who needed to master Dutch driving conditions.

Fantastische ervaring: Had my Practical exam today! - PAASED :-) Best trainers, Quick Learning and very Flixible. Definitely recommended for expats.

Fantastische ervaring: Thank you so much! I am very grateful for this school for their support dedication and great training skills! Can highly recommend them!

Fantastische ervaring: Excellent school. The people are professionals and they love what they are doing. They also find a solution for every problem.

Fantastische ervaring: Highly recommended! Best driving school in the Netherlands. I had very bad experiences doing the exam with other schools and in different locations. Thanks to Anke, I finally got my licence!

Fantastische ervaring: Great driving school, Anke for the win! Anke helps to pay attention to the smallest of things in the driving behaviour which helps in smooth classes and even better driving exam!

Negatieve ervaring: They didn’t let us know that we need to pay 1.350 euros to enroll with them for a drivers licence until last minute. Also nothing was written in their website about this payment. When we asked for the price per lesson they said it’s 60 euros, so we thought we will only pay that until we see the invoice. Already paid 90 euros for a quick day course without knowing we had to pay 1.350 euros more later for nothing. Complete rip off.

Fantastische ervaring: Good experience overall. The school has a friendly team ready to help drivers adapt to Dutch roads for the Rijbewijs.

Fantastische ervaring: Great driving school for expats! Made the process faster and easier than expected.

Positieve ervaring: It took me a while to pass, but the instructors were patient and supportive, helping me overcome my challenges.

Fantastische ervaring: I had the privilege of learning from two fantastic driving schools—LesDirect and RijschoolPB —and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support I received from my incredible instructors: Anke, Pieter, Lieke, and Bert. Each of them brought their own unique teaching style, and they all played a key role in helping me pass my driving exam. Anke and Pieter were patient and clear in their instructions, ensuring I was confident with the basics. Lieke and Bert really pushed me to fine-tune my skills and feel fully prepared for the practical test. Thanks to this amazing team, I passed with flying colors! But Pieter truly went above and beyond, ensuring I understood every detail and felt completely prepared. His patience and dedication made all the difference, and I can’t thank him enough for helping me pass! I highly recommend both driving schools and their amazing team of instructors!” The Arrive & Drive expat program was hands down one of the best decisions I made as an expat trying to get comfortable on the road! It was an absolute blast from start to finish. Well, picture this: a group of expats, each with varying levels of driving experience, trying to figure out who’s going to ‘conquer’ the track first. We were all hyping each other up, making mock racing sounds, and giving dramatic thumbs-up through the mirrors. There was this hilarious moment when we all thought we were professional racers, but let’s just say, the cones told a very different story! What I loved most was how the Pieter and Lieke managed to keep it both fun and educational—teaching us how to drive confidently, but also letting us laugh at our mistakes (like that one time I dramatically overestimated my braking skills!). It was a fantastic way to learn in a relaxed environment with people from all over the world, and I walked away with not only driving skills but great memories and new friends too.”

Fantastische ervaring: Recommend to any expat

Fantastische ervaring: As an expat it really helped getting the whole thing done in one week, from theory test to actual exam!

Fantastische ervaring: Anke is a professional that ensures you are capable and safe on Dutch and European roads. I achieved my license within one week. I would and have happily recommended Les Direct to family and friends.

Fantastische ervaring: First of all, the school's primary concern isn’t just money. They genuinely care about ensuring you pass, and they’re very precise with scheduling. They also arrange test dates that are quite close together, which is a huge plus. Overall, my experience was good. Special thanks to Peter Lieke! Highly recommended!

Fantastische ervaring: Highly recommend this for any expat who needs their dutch license fast. The continued support and fast scheduling was top Notch.

Fantastische ervaring: The only reason why I only give it 5 stars, is because I can't give it 10! This school ahs excellent instructors and their Arrive & Drive program is the best option for everyone willing to learn how to drive and feel safe in traffic. The learning process is nice, well thought of and whenever they identify a point the needs strengthening, you get to practice and get clear explanations! Loved my experience at this school and thanks to them got my license!

Fantastische ervaring: Excellent driving school! I took the package arrive and drive; perfect for an expat that needs to get the license FAST. I passed the theory exam and the week after I was already doing the practical one. 10/10 recommended

Fantastische ervaring: The best driving school in Netherlands. All of them are very helpful, good teachers and good people. I reccomend this driving school to everyone, especially expats.

Fantastische ervaring: Very professional and efficient company to use to obtain your Dutch drivers license. I did a full day session with on the closed track and then the three hour exam prep. After that I did my exam and it went great. Nothing but positive feedback and can 100% recommend. They do a good job of coaching and giving constructive feedback so you can become a good driver to pass the Dutch practical exam.

Fantastische ervaring: The first day at the track helps polishing the basics a bit with vehicle control as an Expat. Overall, the way the routes are planned for the lessons boosts confidence to give the practical exam with complete confidence.

Fantastische ervaring: I just wish I had known about this driving school sooner!! Great for expats who know how to drive but need to learn the Dutch way and who are time poor! Thank you!!

Fantastische ervaring: Would very much recommend to anyone that already knows how to drive but needs to test again for the Dutch driver’s license. The instructors have created a program that focuses on the things that make Dutch driving different, so that you’re able to spend your time wisely working on these required items, and not on unnecessary driving lessons with things you already know. I also appreciated how attentive and adaptive they were, from the moment I contacted them and as I worked with them on creating a schedule and pace that worked for me. I had been in the Netherlands for a few years now, and with them I was able to get my license in less than 2 months!

Fantastische ervaring: If you're an expat and need lessons or a refresher course definitely use LesDirect. Without them I would've never passed. The patience and dedication they have towards their students is amazing. Also Pieter may be one of the funnest teachers I've had and it definitely makes the whole process of learning easier. The whole team is amazing.

Fantastische ervaring: The "Arrive and Drive" program is SO great to be able to get you on the road quickly if you are an expat looking to get your license, totally worth the money! The team was friendly and helpful, and I passed my driving exam in one attempt. Thank you Anke!

Fantastische ervaring: LesDirect is an ideal driving school for expats! The instructors are highly skilled and professional. The instruction is clear, organized, and delivered in a very effective, friendly and comfortable environment!

Fantastische ervaring: LesDirect is a great school for expats with experience driving that want to get their Dutch license. I learnt a lot with Anke and was able to pass my practical exam the first attempt! I highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastische ervaring: I had an overall great experience with this school, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need for their license, or to someone who just wants to refresh their driving skills. Truly outstanding services: professional and excellent communication. From the initial approach, Anke was incredibly responsive and flexible in scheduling lessons, considering my availability as well. The instructors were friendly and made me feel comfortable, while driving and getting used to the Dutch roads. Thank you for a positive experience!

Fantastische ervaring: Thank you for the great program specifically designed for expats, it has made the whole difference in getting the driver’s license. Highly recommended to anyone who would like to save time, effort and money!

Fantastische ervaring: Convenient for people who has driving experience. Great instructors :)

Fantastische ervaring: I'm thrilled to say I passed my license exam on the first attempt, thanks to their guidance. The entire experience was not only educational but also incredibly pleasant and fun. Big thanks to Lieke, Pieter, and Anke - you guys are amazing and made the learning process both effective and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Fantastische ervaring: Wonderful experience! I recommend this company every time I share the good news of having my rijbewijs! They provide a great wealth of information in a condensed amount of time which is excellent for busy people that can't devote 6 months or a year to getting behind the wheel. Getting your Dutch driving license is expensive, but LesDirect is worth every penny!

Fantastische ervaring: I had a great experience with the arrive and drive program and Passed!! Wonderful and very helpful instructors, highly recommended

Fantastische ervaring: This program was excellent, I'm so grateful for how quickly they helped me pass my practical exam, especially because my theory was about to expire. I had started lessons with another school last year but I had a setback due to injury. When a group of American expats all suggested LesDirect as highly recommended, I traveled from Amsterdam to the school and I have zero regrets about choosing their Arrive & Drive program. The instructors and everyone involved really put me at ease about driving in Dutch traffic, and being able to take the course and get my license all in one week was really awesome. Can't say thanks enough for helping me finally get my NL license :)

Fantastische ervaring: Great experience overall. Best way to get the Dutch driver’s license for expats.

Fantastische ervaring: Really good and experienced driving school for expats. They have a good structure and plan for the lessons and provide flexibility of planning lessons as per our availability. Give exact advice and training to pass the exam in least attempts. I would definitely recommend them!

Fantastische ervaring: Their Arrive & Drive program was a great course. Really recommended for expats who are already experienced drivers and simply need to adapt to Dutch driving rules.

Fantastische ervaring: This is a amazing package when you are moving to The Netherlands. The team is incredibly experienced and fun to be around. Big thanks to Anke and Pieter.

Fantastische ervaring: Excellent option for expats. Instructions are right in line with what the examiners will ask. Good focus on making sure you understand what will take place during the exam. There were no surprises and I passed on my first attempt. Fast booking and fast turn around times. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastische ervaring: When life got in the way and postponed my second attempt at training for and passing the driving exam, I went looking for a school that could help me prepare and pass it before my theory validation expired. I found LesDirect and was impressed and assured by the information Anke gave me about their Arrive and Drive program, so I signed up as soon as I could. I know "fun" is probably not a word associated with driving courses, but I don't know when I'd ever have had the chance to drive a car around a race track (well, the inner course at least), so that was memorable! For my "real world" driving, I practiced with both Anke and Pieter, and although I'd been expecting an experience like with my previous instructor (oh the anxiety...), they were actually a pleasure to drive around with. Being able to relax definitely improved my driving, and my exam went without a hitch. With only 4 days left until I'd have to start the whole process over again, I was so relieved to have passed! And I don't think I could have done it without LesDirect. :-) Highly recommended.

Fantastische ervaring: As an Expat from South Africa, arriving in the Netherlands with no Dutch road driving experience, Arrive & Drive professionalism and welcoming attitude, the whole experience was amazing. I truly recommend Les Direct, Arrive & Drive team as preferred driving school instructors. Well done guys. 10 out 0f 10.

Fantastische ervaring: Probably the best "Rijschool" in Netherlands. Very professional and a most pleasant experience. Thank you you Anke and Pieter. You guys are amazing.

Fantastische ervaring: Great service and very informative lessons. Passed my license first time, thank you.
