Fahrschule Schweighauser

The Schweighauser Driving School is the family driving school of both Basels.

In 1979 Kurt founded the Schweighauser Driving School. Thanks to his commitment and teaching style he quickly became well known throughout the driving school community. In 1990 Andy joined the team of driving instructors and immediately found his place. When Dany joined in 1992 the school continued to grow. In 1998 we officially founded the Schweighauser Family Driving School.
Since then we have been committed to guiding our students competently and safely through their driving education.
