Tripiamo Reviews 

I recently traveled to Ireland and rented a vehicle to drive. I was nervous about driving on the left side of the road. After using tripiamo and driving in Ireland, I can honestly say that it prepared me well. The lessons and videos helped familiarize me and acclimate me so I actually felt like I had driven there before once I got going. I also got the France package and benefited from that as well. I can say that I will never drive in a new country without having studied the tripiamo program first.

Well narrated and easy to understand. Helpful since it demonstrates real world driving scenarios. The videos transferred easily to what I saw in real world driving behind the wheel in Scotland.

Very useful preparation for driving in the UK. Many useful tips and hints. The sign knowledge and roundabout info was invaluable. Highly recommend for people travelling to the UK

While I have driven in the UK before, this really helped me heading into my next trip to Scotland with understanding the meaning of the various signs and road markings. Very helpful.

I've recommended this program to many people. It gave me the confidence to rent a car so we could enjoy places public transport couldn't take us. The instructions are well laid out progressively taking you through the rules of the road, then the video play made all the difference for real world experience. I've since made a trip beyond Scotland to Barbados where I did a review of the left side approaches to roundabouts and rural driving prior which again I got great value from. Tip, I had my navigator also do the course which proved essential for a unified, peaceful trip. Everyone else in the car was only allowed to comment on the scenery.

Overall, Tripiamo is a nice service that helps explain road signs, driving rules, and how to safely drive on the correct side of the road when visiting another country. I really like the concept, and I found a lot of the information helpful. However, I do feel like it fell short in a few areas.

My biggest issue was with the 360° driving videos. They glitched constantly, so I really didn’t get to experience that feature the way it was intended. The videos would only work properly if I kept the viewing screen small, which defeats the purpose for me. I was using my computer because I wanted the screen larger so I could feel more immersed in the driving experience. This was especially disappointing because the 360° driving experience is one of the features Tripiamo advertises most heavily.

I also think the “Drive Yourself” videos could be improved. I would be following along as the video drove through a city, mentally preparing myself for things like a “tiny turn left” or a “big turn right,” and then suddenly the screen would switch to a completely different part of the city. That really breaks the immersion. I think these videos would be much more beneficial if they followed one continuous, uninterrupted route through the city, incorporating left turns, right turns, roundabouts, intersections, and different types of roads along the way. The goal should be to make you feel as though you are actually driving the route yourself and having to anticipate what comes next.

I’m giving Tripiamo four stars because I do think it’s a useful service with a great concept, and I learned from it. However, the nonstop glitching with the heavily advertised 360° videos and the lack of continuity in the “Drive Yourself” portions kept the program from being as immersive and useful as I think it could be.

Only been thru the course once. Still a little nervous, but I am glad I can go thru the course as many times as I want to build my confidence. Can’t wait to pick up my car in Scotland.

Tripiamo is a comprehensive online course on driving in the UK. We traveled to Scotland and this course was invaluable in preparing me for the roads, traffic signs, road markings and basic driving laws and customs. The course is divided into short segments which keep your attention and make it easy to complete over a few days. The video shot form the drivers point of view really makes for an immersive experience and it oriented me to driving on the left side.

The real life driving videos are so helpful. Overall great lessons.

We are currently in Scotland. Taking the course before we left definitely helped with learning basics of road rules. The simulations were great, but nothing can truly prepare you for those single lane Scottish roads! Lol 🤣

Videos are very well done. Not too overwhelming. There is a lot of information but it is presented well and organized. The PDF is a great resource.

I'm now retired and have taken hundreds of training sessions, many of them on-line. And I can say this training was absolutely the most professional and conveyed the most knowledge of any training I've encountered. It was well organized, pleasing to watch, and easy to navigate through the lessons. I wish I had taken something like this before I drove for three weeks in Australia and New Zealand three years ago and in Scotland last year.

It has been very good exercise to prepare for the driving experience in the UK. Looking forward to driving around Scotland!

I especially liked the 360 degree driving videos. Also, great that I can review the videos many times. It would be cool to have a real simulator available in the future. At the beginning it said something about 70 yr old maximum driving age limit... I couldnt find that online, FYI.

Although I consider myself a very good driver, my wife and I thought it made sense to purchase the Tripiamo package to lessen the anxiety and increase our knowledge of "driving on the left side" of the road in the UK & Ireland. The video platform was very beneficial, providing us with a visual of "what to expect" with the various environments. Some of the information in the PDFs was useful as well. We had driven in other European countries, so we had some real world experience outside of the US, but this was indeed useful prior to jumping in with our recent journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Tripiamo for the novice or seasoned travelers who plan to drive in the countries that Tripiamo provides coverage for and we look forward to them expanding their footprint in other countries as they can in the future. Kudos Team Tripiamo.

Great, easy and entertaining lessons. Learned alot from the 360 videos. Thanks

The content is quite relevant for travellers coming from other countries where driving rules are different. The videos are great training for the brain and eyes for driving on the opposite side of the road. I think this will make my car rental much smoother and safer. Thanks!

I am coming from Canada where we drive on the right hand side of the road. This course helped me not only understand the local laws and customs, but also feel confident renting a car in the UK. I know I can access the information as I need it and I really enjoyed the live videos to get my brain ready for the change.
