Learn to drive in Utrecht?Effective and quality driving lessons
Driving school Utrecht and surroundings
Taking driving lessons in Utrecht means learning to drive in a city with traffic, bike lanes, and dynamic road conditions. Our driving lessons are designed to ensure you're well-prepared for all situations you'll encounter. We practice in the neighborhood where you live, as well as at busy intersections and roundabouts that may come up during your exam.
Each driving lesson lasts 100 minutes. That's longer than the usual 60 minutes, and there's a reason for this: you have more time to learn new things, practice, and finish without rushing. This way, you build your driving skills more calmly.
Want to drive at 17?
With 2toDrive, you can start driving lessons from age 16.5, so you can take your exam on your 17th birthday. This means you have more time to practice and can work towards your license more calmly.
2toDrive lessons follow the same format as regular driving lessons, but you start earlier. This gives you the opportunity to learn everything properly before getting behind the wheel as a young driver.

Do you already have a driver's license but haven't driven in a while? Or do you feel unsure in traffic? Then a driving refresher course is a good idea. We help you refresh your driving skills and regain your confidence.
During the refresher course, you decide what you want to work on: parking, merging onto the highway, or simply getting used to the feeling of being behind the wheel again. We adapt the lessons to what you need.

Floris Bouman
"Super aardige vrouw neemt de tijd om het je goed uit te leggen. Het is niet alleen maar serieus maar er kan ook een grapje tussendoor gemaakt worden. Riham houdt zich aan gemaakte afspraken. Ik vond het een hele prettige rijschool."
Nick P
"Super fijn tijd gehad in de auto! Een echte aanrader. Ze is er altijd en helpt als het nodig is. In tijden van nood dan helpt ze. Ze heeft mij elke zaterdag ochtend geholpen met rijles. Ik heb al mijn lessen mooi ingepland van te voren. En heb daardoor mijn praktijk examen in 1X gehaald. Super bedankt!"
Mats Gruter
"Zeer fijne en goede rijinstructrice. Ik heb een zeer fijne sfeer ervaren tijdens de rijlessen en tegelijkertijd leerde ik ontzettend veel. Na ongeveer 25 lessen was ik goed voorbereid voor mijn examen!"
Anna Heijne
"Riham geeft op een hele fijne manier les! Ze creëert een gemoedelijke sfeer en neemt rustig de tijd om theorie uit te leggen. Ik vond het erg prettig dat ze kalm reageerde op foutjes die je als beginnend bestuurder onvermijdelijk maakt."
Fransje van der Knaap
"Riham is een hele fijne rij instructrice! Ze houdt heel goed rekening met wat jij persoonlijk nodig hebt om zo goed en snel mogelijk af te kunnen rijden! Daarnaast is het altijd gezellig in de auto en voelt ze heel vertrouwd!"

"Riham is een fijne en rustige rij-instructrice, zo kijkt ze wat nodig is om te leren en speelt ze tegelijkertijd op je behoeftes in. Ook was het fijn dat het niet altijd rijles gerelateerd hoeft te zijn."
