Great driving school!!! Thanks to my driving instructor Kevin for this great and successful time. He is the best that you could only wish for as a driving instructor. The driving lessons with him were always very amusing and funny and you can have a great conversation with him. He teaches you how to drive in a humorous way and got me through the test safely and well prepared. I highly recommend him and the driving school.

Great driving school, everything is expensive right now but this driving school definitely doesn't deduct you and really wants you to get your driving license. A very big thanks to Kevin! A great driving instructor with great character and understanding. I really had the feeling that he was there for you. An honest and heartfelt person with understanding! Some driving instructors/driving schools can cut themselves off a bit! Thank you so much that I was able to get my driver's license with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact Us
How long does the driver’s license training take?

That’s a common question. It depends on various factors and also varies by license class, including the processing time of the licensing authority, your availability, financial situation, and individual learning pace.

What are the costs?

This is also a common question and, like the duration of the training, depends on various factors and varies by license class. Our office can provide you with a non-binding estimate, but please note that there is no fixed price. It will give you a rough overview, but the final cost will depend on various factors.

What documents do I need for the driver's license application?
  • Copy of ID card (and driver's license, if it's an extension)
  • Current vision test (not older than 1 year) in original (for categories C1, C1E, C, CE, D, DE, a medical certificate is required)
  • First aid course certificate

For accompanied driving at 17, you also need:

  • Consent from legal guardians (including copies of their IDs)
  • Details of the accompanying person(s) (including copies of their ID and driver's license)
When can I take the theory test?

Feel free to contact our office under the following conditions:

  • You have completed the minimum number of theory lessons.
  • Your documents have been fully processed by the traffic authority, and you have received an invoice from the TÜV.
  • You have completed the App modules.
  • You feel well-prepared and confident.

In this case, we will schedule a trial exam. If you pass with a maximum of 5 errors, we can then schedule an appointment for the official theory test with the TÜV for you.

When can I take the practical driving test?

Your driving instructor will register you for the practical test once you have successfully passed the theory exam and met the required practical training content and objectives.

At what age can I register?

The minimum age varies depending on the license category. For a car license (Category B/B197/B78), the minimum age is 18 years, or 17 years for accompanied driving. You can register for the respective license class six months before reaching the minimum age. You may take the theory test three months before reaching the minimum age and the practical test one month before. To learn more, visit the ‘Services’ section for the specific license category.

Do I need to bring my own motorcycle gear?

Yes, safety is a top priority for us. Therefore, the following gear must be worn during practical driving lessons:

  • motorcycle helmet (not a jet helmet)
  • motorcycle jacket (with back protector)
  • motorcycle pants (with protectors)
  • motorcycle shoes (ankle-high)
  • Motorcycle gloves with knuckle protection (not regular gloves like winter gloves).
Can I pay in installments?

Initially, the first invoice must be paid upfront. After that, we use a prepaid system. To schedule practical driving lessons, you’ll need to add credit to your account. You can keep track of your balance in the app, and if it runs low, you can easily top it up. Any remaining balance at the end of your training will be refunded.

What is B197?

The B197 driver’s license category is ideal if you prefer automatic cars but want the option to drive manual ones as well. You’ll need to complete at least 10 driving hours of 45 minutes each in a manual car and take a 15-minute test drive at the driving school. You can, however, take the practical test in an automatic vehicle.  Click here to learn more

How many driving lessons do I need?

This varies based on your skill and how quickly you pick up and apply what you've learned, as everyone learns at their own pace. The number of hours needed for special driving sessions depends on the driver’s license class.

How many mistakes can I make on the theory test?

When taking your first driver’s license test, you can have up to 10 error points, but not two instances of 5 points each. For upgrading to the next license class, the limit is 6 error points. For mopeds, it’s 7 error points.

I need to take an Aufbauseminar (ASF). When is the next course available?

It’s important to sign up as soon as possible. Just give us a call to schedule an appointment at our office.

Do you offer online classes?

That was only available during the COVID-19 restrictions. We are now fully back to in-person classes and look forward to seeing you face-to-face again.

Can I register even if I don’t have all the documents yet?

Sure! However, we recommend submitting all your documents soon after registering, as processing with the traffic authority can take some time. This way, everything can proceed smoothly.

When can I start taking driving lessons?

When you’ve successfully passed your theory test and added credit to your account.

(Exception: It is also possible to begin driving lessons earlier if a slot is available, but you should have already submitted all required documents and completed approximately half of your theory lessons.)

What documents do I need for accompanied driving at 17?
  • Consent from legal guardians (including copies of their IDs)
  • Details of the accompanying person(s) (including copies of their ID and driver's license)
Does the driving instructor also ride a motorcycle alongside?

Yes! Our motorcycle instructors also ride themselves.

How many questions are on the theory test?

Depending on the license category, the theory test consists of between 20 and 40 questions.

How can I register?

You can easily Sign up online or come by in person.

When can I get started?

After an initial consultation at our driving school, we’ll set you up in our system and send you your first invoice. Once we receive your payment, you’ll get the login details for your app, and you can get started!

Can I take the driver’s license test in another language?

You can take your theory test in the following languages: English, French, Greek, Modern Standard Arabic, Italian, Croatian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and German.

Additionally, we offer language support in the following languages: English, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Turkish, and German.

I want to tow a trailer but I'm unsure about the weight. Which license do I need?

To determine which driver’s license class you need to tow a trailer, you must consider the maximum allowable weight of both the trailer and the vehicle, as well as the total weight of the entire combination.

Class B

  • Allows you to drive vehicles up to 3.5 tons in maximum allowable weight.
  • You can tow a trailer as long as the trailer’s maximum allowable weight does not exceed 750 kg.
  • If the trailer exceeds 750 kg, the combined maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 3.5 tons.

Class B96

  • An extension of the Class B license.
  • Allows you to tow combinations with a total weight of up to 4.25 tons.
  • Requires additional training (no exam needed).

Class BE

  • Allows you to tow trailers with a maximum allowable weight of up to 3.5 tons.
  • The towing vehicle can still weigh a maximum of 3.5 tons.
