Compare driving schools - this is how it works

  1. Filter by range, gearbox and vehicle type
  2. Read price per lesson and reviews side by side
  3. Press “Book a driving lesson” – the school contacts you directly

First decide whether you want to learn on a manual or an automatic. For the licence it makes no difference: if you pass the test on an automatic, you may also drive manual cars – the federal government abolished the former «automatic only» entry (Federal Roads Office FEDRO).
