Meet your Friendly Driving Instructor Serge
Zomer Verkeersopleidingen is a family business led by Serge. Our foundations were laid back in the 1960s in Vriezenveen, at the time under the name Rijschool Zomer. After the company helped hundreds of students obtain their driving licenses during its first 25 years, Serge’s father took over the reins. Under his leadership, the driving school grew into a regional player offering driving lessons in Utrecht and other cities. A few years ago, Serge followed in his father’s footsteps. Today, the foundations of Rijschool Zomer remain, but with the fresh and modern perspective of Zomer Verkeersopleidingen, Serge guides you safely onto the road.
“My father left behind a powerful pedagogical vision aimed at maximizing the potential of every student. It is my mission to continue this philosophy and further professionalize it, combining his proven approach with modern insights.”
Answers to frequently asked questions
Here you will find the most frequently asked questions and answers for your driving lessons in Utrecht. Do you have another question? Then you can always contact us at info@rijschoolzomer.nl
When can I start English driving lessons in Utrecht?
You may take driving lessons as early as 16.5 years of age and take practical tests starting on your 17th birthday. If you pass, you may only drive with a guide until your 18th birthday. For example, your parents, grandparents or neighbors. This companion must be at least 27 years old and have held a driver's license for 5 years. Also, your companion must never have committed a serious traffic offense. Your escort(s) must be listed on your escort pass.
Note: apply for the escort pass right at the beginning of your driver training. You can only apply for your driver's license at the municipality upon presentation of this companion pass.
What do I need to know about the trial lesson?
The free trial lesson is meant to help you get to know the instructor and see what a driving lesson is like. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions. After the lesson, you'll receive feedback and advice about the number of lessons needed to have a good chance of pass your driving test.
Can I get my driver's license quickly?
Yes, we offer crash courses so that you can quickly obtain your driver’s license.
How many driving lessons in Utrecht do I need before I can get my driver’s license?
According to a CBR survey of exam candidates (2025), the average number of hours for obtaining a driver's license is around 43. But since everyone learns at their own speed, the number of driving lessons you need naturally varies from person to person. Our instructor can estimate how many driving lessons you will need. You can find more information on the CBR website.
What is the success rate of Rijschool Zomer?
Thanks to our unique teaching method and experienced driving instructors, our students are well guided during the lessons. This is also reflected in our pass rate, which is above the national average.
Do I need to have certain knowledge of cars before I start taking lessons?
No, you don't need any prior knowledge. But it does work to your advantage if you already have some knowledge of theory, then you can immediately apply this knowledge during your driving lessons.
What is the average duration of a driving lesson?
A driving lesson with us lasts 60 minutes, but we routinely schedule two lessons in a row. So you have 120 minutes of lessons each time, so you learn to drive even faster.
Can I take driving lessons in Utrecht in an automatic transmission car?
Yes! We have a car with automatic transmission.
Can I also take driving lessons in Utrecht in another language?
Yes, we have Dutch-, English- and Spanish-speaking WRM-certified instructors.
Can I also take driving lessons in Utrecht in the evenings and weekends?
Yes, we also give driving lessons in the evenings and on Saturdays.
What cars do you teach in?
Our teaching cars are a Volkswagen Golf manual transmission (model year 2023), Volkswagen Golf hybrid automatic transmission (model year 2025), Volkswagen Tiguan hybrid automatic transmission (model year 2025).
Where will I be picked up?
The pick-up location is at the station Bijlmer Arena or Station Utrecht Sloterdijk. We feel it is important to devote the entire lesson to teaching, and to you as a student. By having a central pick-up location, we want to avoid you being mostly busy taking the other student(s) home.
