In Germany, acquiring a driver's licence is a lengthy and costly process, with the total expenses ranging from €2,500 to €4,500. Besides mandatory driving lessons, applicants face various fees like eye tests, first-aid courses, and more. Rising costs have burdened young Germans and prompted state transport ministers to lobby the federal government for reductions. The transport ministers' conference highlighted the challenges posed by these financial barriers, especially in rural areas lacking robust public transport options, and recognized the pressure of the frequently updated theory test content on applicants.
"The Conference of Transport Ministers sees the steadily rising costs of obtaining a driving licence as an obstacle to individual mobility, especially in rural areas with limited public transport services."
"The total cost of obtaining a driving licence is estimated at around €2,500 to €4,500, which many consider a substantial burden."
