Can I Get a Refund for Driving School Tuition If I Haven't Taken the Test?
2 Answers
If you have enrolled in a driving school but haven't taken the test, you can get a refund for the tuition. You need to personally go to the driving school's registration office to complete the withdrawal procedures, and the remaining balance will be refunded after deducting the fees for the training hours already completed. Below is additional information regarding tuition refunds at driving schools: Refund after enrollment: If a student requests a refund after enrolling in the driving school but before taking the medical examination or fails the medical examination, a service fee will be deducted, though some driving schools may offer a full refund. Refund after obtaining student status: For students who have passed the medical examination and obtained driving school student status but request a refund before applying for the subject one test reservation, management fees, contractual penalties, and any incurred card production fees will be deducted.
I previously enrolled in a driving school but got busy with work and forgot about it before taking the test. When I remembered to request a tuition refund, I found the contract clearly stated: a full refund is available within one week of enrollment, and after that, fees are deducted proportionally. I urgently contacted them, explained my situation in detail, and provided evidence that I hadn’t attended any classes. In the end, I got about 70-80% of the fee back. A reminder to everyone: before enrolling, be sure to review the contract and check the refund policy—don’t just listen to the sales pitch. Keep your receipts and chat records safe. If things turn sour, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Association, and they’ll mediate. Overall, acting sooner rather than later greatly improves your chances.
