En Voiture Simone

Overview

The service covers both stages of preparation: learners can study for and book the theory-code exam, then select a state-certified instructor for driving lessons. En Voiture Simone says lessons are offered across France, near home, work or school, seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. It also says it organizes the practical exam and that the instructor accompanies the learner on exam day.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Paris, En Voiture Simone states that it is Qualiopi-certified. It reports an average instructor rating of 4.91 out of 5, based on 394,786 lesson ratings over the previous 12 months. A searchable help center and customer-support contact form provide routes for questions; the homepage also directs customers to car-insurance offers from partner Ornikar Assurances.

Key features

• Theory preparation: The free course has 140 lessons, 2,000 questions and 50 exam-aligned series. Mock exams, themed practice, error review and progress statistics make it useful for structured preparation without first buying a driving pack.
• Exam booking: Learners can book the theory-code exam in the app. The service also organizes the practical exam and says an instructor accompanies the learner on the day, connecting exam logistics with lesson support.
• Instructor-led lessons: Learners choose a state-certified instructor and book through the app. The broad daily booking window can suit people fitting lessons around work or school, though actual convenience depends on instructor coverage near them.
• Financing: The company lists training offers eligible for France’s CPF personal training account, which may make a paid pack an option for qualifying learners.

Pricing

En Voiture Simone is freemium, with no free trial. Its free Code de la route plan costs 0.00 EUR per free and provides unlimited online theory-code training without ads, 140 course sheets, 2,000 questions, 50 exam-aligned series and personalized practice modes. It is the clearest fit for learners who want theory preparation but are not ready to commit to driving lessons through a pack.

The paid packs are one-time purchases, with Pay in 3 interest-free installments available. Every pack includes unlimited driving e-learning, exam registration and support, but the included driving hours are valid for one year.

• Pack Permis sans code — boîte automatique: 549.00 EUR per once. It includes 12 driving hours and is intended for learners who already have the code. This is the lowest-priced driving pack, but it omits the premium theory course and printed code booklet.
• Pack Permis — boîte automatique: 559.00 EUR per once. It adds complete driving-licence training, a premium theory-code course and a printed code booklet to the 12-hour automatic-transmission pack. For a 10 EUR difference from the automatic sans-code pack, it suits learners who still need theory preparation.
• Pack Permis sans code — boîte manuelle: 679.00 EUR per once. It provides 17 driving hours for learners who already have the code, without the premium theory course or printed booklet.
• Pack Permis — boîte manuelle: 689.00 EUR per once. It adds complete training, the premium theory course and a printed booklet to the 17-hour manual-transmission pack. As with the automatic version, the sans-code option saves 10 EUR if the learner already has the code.

Transmission type and the need for theory materials are the key pack choices. The one-year hour limit matters most to learners who may have difficulty scheduling lessons promptly.

Platforms

En Voiture Simone is available on Android, iOS and the web. That gives learners a choice of mobile app or browser access for its preparation and booking service.

Who it's for

Choose En Voiture Simone if you are preparing for a driving test in France and want theory practice, instructor selection, lesson booking and exam support connected in one service. The free plan is particularly suitable for theory-only study; paid packs suit learners ready to book driving hours and who can use them within a year. It is less suitable if that validity period is too short for your schedule or if you do not need a bundled driving-school service.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The free theory plan combines 140 lessons, 2,000 questions and 50 exam-aligned series with no ads, giving learners substantial preparation before purchasing a pack.
• Pro: The service connects theory and practical exam steps with lesson booking and practical-exam accompaniment, reducing the need to arrange those parts separately.
• Pro: Learners can choose a state-certified instructor and book during a wide daily window, with the company reporting extensive instructor-rating volume.
• Con: Pack driving hours expire after one year, creating a real scheduling constraint for learners who cannot take lessons regularly.
• Con: The lowest-priced packs exclude premium theory materials, so learners who still need them must pay more for the complete pack.

Alternatives

Verdict

En Voiture Simone is a strong choice for France-based learners who want substantial free theory preparation and a path from instructor selection to practical-exam support. Its paid packs make sense when the included hours and transmission type fit your plans, but look elsewhere if you cannot use those hours within a year or do not need a bundled service.
