The prices shown are components of the total cost for Category B, B197, and B78 licenses, as well as the transfer of an existing license (Umschreibung). The major unknown variable is the number of driving lessons. In our region, a student driver of average ability typically requires about 6 to 12 lessons throughout their training. Naturally, the number of lessons can vary significantly, either upwards or downwards, depending on the individual.

The fees for the official application at the licensing office range from €40 to €60, depending on the region. Additionally, the first aid course, eye test, and passport photo could cost between €50 and €70.

If a theoretical or practical exam is not passed, the same costs will unfortunately be incurred again for the retake: TÜV fees and the driving school’s fee for presenting the student for the exam. If the practical exam needs to be repeated, a few additional practice lessons are usually necessary as well.
