Driving school prices are rising, twenty thousand is no longer taboo
Will there be another increase in price?
A driver’s license of group B will cost an interested party in Cologne, for example, 20,000. Prices start at around 17 thousand. On the other hand, in neighboring Kutnohorsk you can also find driving schools that offer a much lower price. For example, in Uhlířské Janovice, you can buy a classic B for 14,500 crowns. “We start from the fact that we have all our cars, without leasing, we are in our classroom. I only have one teacher, otherwise I do it myself. If I had leased cars and ten teachers, it would be different,” said Petr Novák.
For a course at the Setnička Driving School in Benešov, the student will even pay 13,900 crowns. “We have our own means of transport for all groups and we don’t have to rent any. We have both passenger cars and a truck or even a bus or a tractor with a tow truck,” said the owner of the company, Ladislav Setnička.

At the Koňák Driving School in Nymburk, you can get a driver’s license for 16,500 crowns. According to operator Radomír Koňák, it should remain that way for the next few months. “The last time we raised prices was three to four months ago. Currently, the issue of price increases is not on the agenda. But of course it will depend on the movement of prices for gasoline and spare parts,” explained the Nymburk driving school operator. However, in his opinion, with a possible increase in prices, the price for “B” courses may move up to the limit of 20 thousand crowns in the future. “Of course, we cannot rule that out and I can imagine it in time,” added Koňák.
20 thousand in the capital is not taboo
In the capital, the 20,000 mark per course has not been a taboo for some time. For example, the Roman Lukeš Driving School in Prague 4 offers the cheapest training for 21,900 crowns, while the Krátký Driving School based in Prague 2 offers 20,800 for the standard program for a group B driver’s license. This means fuel, the price of vehicles – new or used, the amount of rent and so on. As input prices are determined, the price increases. It corresponds to the current inflationary trend,” said the owner of the driving school, Lubomír Krátký.
And 20,000 crowns must already be prepared for drivers and clients of Boleslav driving schools. Driving school costs and possibly prices could be reduced by a partial transition to online teaching of theoretical subjects. But Lubomír Krátký from Prague, for example, refuses it. “I am not considering the introduction of online teaching, which some driving schools try to reduce the price of, because it is a completely unproductive, pointless way of teaching, during which students learn almost nothing. I know it’s modern now, and maybe I’m an old-timer because I’ve been in driving school for thirty years, but online lessons are completely out of line. It’s exactly the case when someone can drive formula one on a computer simulator and wins circuits, and then gets into a car and kills himself,” said the owner of the driving school, Lubomír Krátký.

The owner of Kladno driving school, Roman Hardyn, is also critical of online courses. “If someone claims that they are doing online courses because they don’t have the space, I find it strange. A driving school will not receive a license to operate if it does not guarantee training spaces. We don’t do my online courses, we go the classic way. Our current price offer is for a limited time and is valid until December 15th. The prices of everything are going up and even we don’t know how the situation will be in December,” he said.
