When do you need to get a Dutch license

 

EU/EER/Switzerland

If you come to live in Holland and you have a license from an EU- or EER-country or from Switzerland, you are allowed to drive here during holidays or if you come to live here.

Not from EU/EER/Switzerland

If your license is issued by another country, you can drive here for 185 days. After this period, you will need a Dutch license.

High skilled migrant

Are you in the Netherlands for work (highly skilled migrant)? The 30% facility of the Tax and Customs Administration may apply to you. If that is the case, you can exchange your foreign driving license (from any country) for a Dutch driving licence. This is only possible if the foreign driving license is still valid. (Find out more ).

If this is the case, we strongly advise you to take some theoretical and practical lessons. Rules and habits may be very different from what you are used to. For instance: traffic rules and signs are taken very seriously in Holland. It’s important that you have an understanding of those to keep you and the surrounding traffic safe and trouble free. We offer practical lessons to teach you the most important rules and accepted behavior in the Netherlands. For theoretical lessons in English, we can heartily recommend Auto Theorie Haarlem.

 

Driving lessons for fear of failure or fear of driving

Do you suffer from fear of driving or fear of failure? We can help you with lessons, regardless if you have a driver’s license or not. Especially our instructor Annemieke specialized in these lessons, and is very experienced.

Starting point is a relaxed and safe atmosphere in which the lessons take place.

Thus, she can prepare you step by step for independent traffic participation.

The fear of driving lessons are given in an automatic car. If there are also problems driving a manual car, we will find a way to tackle those, but not before driving in an automatic car goes smoothly. Annemieke meets her students near Haarlem Station, so your private lesson can take off right from the start.
