I did my driving training with Liri and am more than just satisfied. With his humorous, but at the same time somewhat stricter, approach, I not only had a great time, but also learned exactly what it takes to become a safe and confident driver.

Meriton Krasniqi Passed

I did my category A (restricted) driving licence with Liridon Maliqi from Drive Plus GmbH and also took the basic course with him. I was very satisfied from start to finish. Liridon is a very skilled, patient and friendly driving instructor. He explains everything clearly, gives valuable tips and creates a relaxed atmosphere so you quickly feel safe on the motorbike. I warmly recommend him and Drive Plus GmbH to anyone looking to get their motorbike licence. Thanks a lot for the great training.

With his friendly nature, his expertise and his motivating energy ("Let's do this."), he gave me confidence and prepared me perfectly for the basic course. Lessons with him are instructive, structured and really fun. Top driving instructor – clear recommendation.
