Problem
Obtaining a driver’s licence in France often requires navigating multiple providers for theory preparation, practical lessons, and insurance, leading to high costs, scheduling constraints, and administrative complexity.
Solution
Ornikar consolidates the entire driver‑training journey into a single digital platform. Learners can study for the code using an app that offers over 1 700 up‑to‑date questions, 135 concise fiches, live tutoring sessions and unlimited mock exams. The same platform lets users book certified driving instructors, choose manual or automatic vehicles, and manage lesson schedules through a mobile app, with options for accelerated or accompanied learning paths. After passing the exam, Ornikar extends its service to auto and habitation insurance, providing transparent, customizable coverage that can be bundled with the licence package. The end‑to‑end solution reduces price by up to 30 % compared with traditional schools, offers flexible payment (including CPF financing and four‑installment plans), and delivers a unified dashboard for progress tracking, document management and ongoing support.
