Driving Lesson Packages in Amsterdam – How to Make the Right Choice
Amsterdam has many driving schools, and most of them work with driving lesson packages. But what exactly is included in such a package, and how do you choose the one that best fits your learning style and budget?
At Rij & Theorie Centraal, we believe driving education should be tailored to the student. That’s why we look not only at the number of lessons, but also at your learning pace, whether you prefer manual or automatic, and whether you need lessons in Dutch or English.
What’s Included in a Driving Lesson Package?
A standard package in Amsterdam usually includes:
-
A set number of driving lessons (for example, 20, 30 or 40 lessons).
-
The CBR practical exam.
-
Sometimes a mock test (tussentijdse toets).
-
Extras such as a trial lesson or discounts on theory courses.
At RijCentraal.nl and RijschoolCentraal.nl, we offer flexible packages, with the option to add single lessons as needed.
Benefits of Choosing a Package
-
Cheaper than single lessons – packages offer a lower hourly rate.
-
Clarity – you know in advance what you’ll pay.
-
Structure – a fixed plan helps you progress faster.
-
Combined with theory – often includes discounts on Theoriebank.nl, TheorieGeslaagd.nl or ProefTheorie.nl.
Manual or Automatic – Impact on Your Package
In Amsterdam, more and more students are choosing automatic driving lessons. Because learning is often quicker in an automatic, you may need fewer lessons overall, which can make your package smaller and more affordable. With Rij & Theorie Centraal, you can choose both manual and automatic options, depending on your preference.
Dutch or English – Also in Packages
Amsterdam has a large international community of expats and students. That’s why we also offer English-language packages. Both practical lessons and theory courses (via TheorieGeslaagd.nl) can be fully provided in English.
Theory as Part of the Package
A driving course isn’t complete without theory. That’s why we always connect our packages to the Rij & Theorie Centraal ecosystem:
-
Theoriebank.nl – self-study via app.
-
TheorieGeslaagd.nl – classroom or private lessons, in Dutch or English.
-
ProefTheorie.nl – realistic CBR-level mock exams.
This ensures you get a full and well-rounded program.
How to Choose the Right Package?
-
Are you a fast learner? A smaller package may be enough.
-
Do you need more time or struggle with anxiety? Choose a larger package for extra confidence.
-
Want to get your license quickly? Consider an intensive package with multiple lessons per week.
-
Need flexibility? Combine a basic package with additional single lessons.
