At Rij-Present we work with driving lessons of 100 minutes. This is almost twice as long as a standard driving lesson of 60 minutes, which means you gain more driving experience per lesson and learn faster.

Longer lessons provide better learning efficiency. You have time to warm up, practice extensively, and finish calmly. This leads to faster progress and fewer total lessons needed.

We drive manual transmission, which is the most common choice in the Netherlands. If you specifically want to learn automatic, please contact us to discuss the possibilities.
