Why there is no single price
A driving school price list usually shows one figure, but there are several payments and they go to three different parties: the school, the state, and the providers who issue the medical certificate and the first aid certificate. So the answer to «how much does it cost» is always several lines.
What you pay the school
The category B theory course costs 200 €, registration 30 €, a driving lesson from 17.50 € for 45 minutes. The minimum number of academic hours for category B is 20, so driving starts at 350 €. On top of that the school charges 45 € for the school driving exam on a manual gearbox, 50 € on an automatic.
There is currently an offer on the theory course — 1 € instead of the usual 200 €. The dates and terms are in the Offers section.
What you pay the state
State fees are not the school's income, and you will pay them whichever driving school you choose:
- learner driving permit — 6.16 €
- CSDD theory exam — 11.40 €
- category B driving exam — 50.57 €
- issuing the driving licence — 22.41 €
That is 90.54 € in total. The amounts are in force since 01.03.2025, source csdd.lv, checked 01.11.2026.
What else to count
Before the CSDD theory exam both a health check (65 €) and a first aid course (60 €) are compulsory. Both are paid to the medical providers who deliver them, not to the school (booking: +371 27036036).
In total
With the regular theory price and the minimum 20 lessons it comes to 840.54 € and up: 625 € to the school, 90.54 € to the state and 125 € to the medical providers. While the theory offer lasts, the same road costs from 641.54 €. The word «from» is not marketing here: 20 lessons is the legal minimum, not a plan. How many you will need is decided by the instructor.
You can work out your own bill in the calculator in the Prices section: pick a category and the services you need, and it shows how many items are still unconfirmed.
