Your wallet will burn even more for a Class B driver's license

Citizens who want to obtain a driver's license are facing a situation where the costs of getting a license are steadily climbing. From driving school fees to exam and administrative payments, and from health reports to the card fee itself, many items are significantly increasing the total cost, especially for those who want to obtain a Class B license.

The highest expense for a driver's license application stems from driving school fees. It is stated that the base price currently determined by the state is around 20 thousand liras. However, it is possible to encounter higher figures at some driving schools.

Expenses do not end after registering for the courses. Candidates are required to pay separate fees for the theoretical (e-exam) and driving tests. These fees stand out as significant items that push the overall total higher.

If a candidate fails on the first attempt during the examination process, costs increase even further. Candidates who pay separate fees for each exam retake may also need additional driving lessons, especially those who cannot pass the driving test. This situation can extend not only the mandatory expenditure items but also the duration of the course.

When all expenses are added up, including the course fee, exam fees, driver's license card fee, health report, and other mandatory payments, the total amount coming out of pocket for a Class B license reaches approximately 35 thousand liras. Moreover, this amount is valid only if all exams are passed successfully on the first attempt. If the need to retake exams arises, the total cost rises even further.
