Why Nova Drive

No unnecessary lessons

When you're ready for your exam, we say so. We'd rather earn a good review than an extra lesson on the bill.

Transparent pricing

Every rate is published here, including what the same lessons would cost separately. No registration fees.

Flexible scheduling

Daytime, evenings and weekends. We work around your diary.

One fixed instructor

Every lesson is with Slava. No rotating instructors and no starting over each time.

Our approach

As few lessons as possible. Maximum progress.

Plenty of driving schools make their money on lessons you no longer need. We work the other way round: every lesson has a goal, you always know where you stand, and once you're ready for your exam, we go for it.

  • Honest advice on how many lessons you still need
  • Double lessons — more efficient, and you progress faster
  • Fixed package prices, no surprises afterwards
  • Lessons during the day, in the evening or at the weekend

Lessons in English and Russian too

Slava teaches in Dutch, English and Russian. Useful if you haven't been in the Netherlands long: you pick the language your lessons are taught in, and we practise the exam terminology in Dutch.

The lesson car

You'll learn in a manual Mazda 3

A comfortable car with good all-round visibility that you'll get used to quickly. It's a manual, so you earn a full category B licence that lets you drive both manual and automatic cars later on.

  • Manual — no automatic-only restriction on your licence
  • Calm, modern car with clear visibility
  • Dual controls, so you can practise safely
  • Pick-up at an agreed spot within the lesson area
