What goes into a quote
Ask for each item separately. This list can help you spot what is missing before comparing totals. Do not assume a package includes a service unless the quote says so.
- Enrolment or registrationInitial charge and the services it includes.
- Theory and materialsLessons, resource access and access period, where offered.
- Medical checkThe amount charged by the provider you choose.
- Procedure feeCheck the applicable fee in the DGT’s official information.
- Practical lessonsPrice per lesson, lesson length and expected or contracted quantity.
- Other itemsAdministration, test vehicle or other charges shown in the offer.
Compare like-for-like offers
- Get the quote in writing and separate fixed amounts from items that depend on lessons or services you choose.
- Compare packages with the same number and length of lessons; add extra lessons at each provider’s stated unit price.
- Record excluded items, the quote’s validity date and any terms you need the provider to confirm.
- Check the fee for your procedure with the official source and update that field in the calculator.
Add up your written quote
Enter the provider’s amounts. Enter 0 for an item already included or paid to avoid counting it twice. No market averages or preset values are used.
Check the amount for your application in the DGT’s official fee information. Check official DGT fees
Enter 0 if no additional lessons need to be included in the quote.
For example, administration, test vehicle, or other items listed in your quote.
Fill every required field with a valid amount to see the total.
Ask the provider to state what each item includes, how long the quote is valid, and what is charged separately. Check the applicable fee with the DGT.
The total is only part of the comparison
Also review schedules, location, lesson format, written terms and how the provider answers your questions. The calculator adds line items; it does not recommend a provider or estimate how many lessons you will need.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to get a driving licence?
- There is no single total that applies to every learner and provider. Cost depends on the items in the quote, the lessons you eventually take and the procedures that apply. Ask for an itemised quote and add your amounts with the calculator on this page.
- How do I check the official fee?
- Look up the procedure and amount in the DGT’s official fee information. Enter the amount that applies to your case and verify it again when you prepare payment.
- What should I ask before accepting a quote?
- Ask what each item includes, lesson length and quantity, which items cost extra, how long the price is valid and the provider’s terms. Keep the answer in writing so you can compare equivalent offers.
- Does the calculator compare driving schools for me?
- No. It adds amounts you enter. It helps organise the cost items, but comparing schedules, location, services and terms still requires reviewing each offer.
