The cost of getting a Category B driving licence depends on the driving school, the number of driving lessons you need, and whether you pass all your exams on the first attempt. Therefore, when choosing a driving school, it is important to consider not only the price of the basic course but also mandatory additional training, exams and state fees.
Let’s take a closer look at the costs involved in getting a Category B driving licence in 2026.
Cost of Category B Driving School
At PRO Autokool, the basic Category B course costs 870 euros.
The price includes:
- theory course — €220;
- 26 driving lessons — €650.
Theory can be studied either online or in the classroom. During practical driving lessons, students develop the skills necessary to drive independently and safely.
Mandatory Additional Training and School Exam
In addition to the basic course, Category B students must complete the required additional training and the driving school’s exam:
- school driving exam — €50;
- night-time driving training — €65;
- slippery road driving training — €105;
- first aid course — €60.
Including the basic course, the total cost of Category B training at PRO Autokool is €1,150.
State Exams and Driving Licence
In addition to driving school costs, you should also take the state fees charged by Transpordiamet into account.
Applying online for Category B driving rights and an initial driving licence, including the theory and driving tests, costs a total of €103.
This consists of:
- theory test — €30;
- driving test — €50;
- initial driving licence issuance — €23.
When applying at a Transpordiamet service bureau, the total cost is €113.
How Much Does a Category B Driving Licence Cost in Total?
If the included driving lessons are sufficient and you pass all exams without needing additional attempts, you can expect the following costs:
PRO Autokool Category B training: €1,150
Transpordiamet state fees via e-service: €103
This means that the total cost of getting a Category B driving licence is approximately €1,253.
What Additional Costs May Arise?
The final cost of getting a driving licence is not exactly the same for every student. Some people need more practical driving experience than others.
Additional costs may include:
- extra driving lessons;
- retaking exams;
- additional training after repeated unsuccessful exam attempts.
At PRO Autokool, an additional 45-minute driving lesson for the school’s own students costs €25.
It is therefore a good idea to leave some extra room in your budget in case you need a few additional driving lessons before the exam.
Can the Course Be Paid for in Instalments?
Yes. At PRO Autokool, you do not have to pay the entire training fee at once. The theory course is paid for first, followed by driving lessons and additional training as they are completed.
This makes it possible to spread the cost of getting your driving licence over a longer period.
Conclusion
When getting a Category B driving licence in 2026, you should consider both driving school expenses and the costs of state exams and licence issuance.
At PRO Autokool, Category B training, including mandatory additional courses and the school exam, costs €1,150. When the Transpordiamet e-service state fees are added, the total cost of getting a driving licence is approximately €1,253, provided that no additional driving lessons or exam retakes are required.
However, the most important goal is not to get your driving licence as cheaply as possible, but to prepare properly for the exams and learn to drive independently and safely.
