About Us :
Based in Paris and Pau, Zipee is an English-language driving school specialized in helping non-French-speaking expatriates and foreign nationals obtain or convert their driving licence in France.


We assist you in the process of exchanging your foreign driving licence, or in getting your licence by passing the French examinations. All instruction, support and administrative assistance is delivered entirely in English.


Zipee is primarily for non-French speakers living in France — expatriates, foreign nationals and international residents who need to obtain or convert their driving licence but would rather do so in English.

Student Testimonials

What our students are saying about us on Google Maps reviews

"I highly recommend Zipee! Thanks to their excellent support, I’ve passed my driving test, and I’m absolutely delighted.

A huge thank you to my instructor, Mano, for his professionalism, patience, teaching skills and invaluable advice. He put me at ease, helped me improve and prepared me effectively for the test.

I’d also like to thank the whole Zipee team for their professionalism, their availability, their willingness to listen and their support throughout my journey. Their support and responsiveness really made all the difference.

I’d 100 per cent recommend Zipee to anyone who wants to learn to drive in a great atmosphere, with a dedicated, caring and committed team. Thanks again to the whole team!"


Thésia N. Access Package Student

"Zipee is one of the very few driving schools in France that caters to English speakers, and my experience with them has been excellent. The theory lessons were held online and also recorded, which made it easy to catch up if I missed a live session. 

The practical lessons were very insightful and well-structured. Since I already hold a driving license from another country, the school offered me an accelerated training program with a reduced number of practical sessions, which was exactly what I needed. 

A big thank you to Matthieu and his team, as well as to my instructors Manoharan and Susan, for their guidance, patience, and professionalism throughout the process. I highly recommend Zipee Driving School to anyone looking for a smooth and supportive driving experience in France."


 Shehab P. Access Package Student

"I obtained my driver’s license last year through Zipee, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience. Having driven for over 10 years in India, adapting to the French driving system was initially quite challenging. 

However, my instructor, Susan, made the transition much smoother. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and always pleasant. Her clear explanations during the theory sessions helped me pass the written test on my first attempt. During the practical lessons, she provided continuous guidance and support, ensuring I was fully prepared for the driving test.

Thanks to her expertise, I successfully passed! 

I highly recommend Zipee to anyone looking for quality driving lessons"


Vishnu S. Access Package Student

"For any expatriate living in France and planning to acquire a driving license, I highly recommend Zipee. Not only are instructors marvelous in guiding you with all the skills required to pass the theory and practical exams, but have great personalities that go a long way to give you a fulfilling experience at Zipee. Administratively, Zipee handles every issue and challenge with ease and promptly to make sure everything goes smoothly and accordingly. You will never regret being part of the Zipee family."


Samuel S. Newbie Package Student

"As an expat from California where there is no license exchange agreement, I was lucky to find Zipee. 

Zipee was created to cater to English speaking expats. The Highway Code book, courses, and exam are all translated in English. Manu was a great instructor! Manu helped me to anticipate and get rid of my bad driving habits! I realized driving the French way is more safer and useful for myself and others than how I previously had learned and in life!"


Phillip Y. Access Package Student

"A brilliant driving school! 


Mano was the best instructor I could have hoped for, and the admin staff there are very professional and understanding. 


I’m really glad I went there rather than to another driving school. 

Many thanks to Zipee"
