Can I Get a Refund for Unfinished Driver's License Training?

[SilasRose]

You can get a refund for unfinished driver's license training, with the amount refunded proportionally based on your learning progress. Here are the details about the refund policy: 1. After the medical check-up: If you only completed the medical check-up after registration and haven't taken the subject one exam, you can get a full refund minus a 100 yuan processing fee and learning materials cost. 2. After subject one: If you passed subject one but haven't taken the subject two exam and want to withdraw, an appropriate portion of the subject two driving practice fee will be deducted, and the rest will be refunded. 3. After subject two: Even if you have practiced for subject three, you can still get a refund because it includes a 750 yuan fee for processing the driver's license, which should be refunded. The processing fee varies by region, so the refund amount will differ and should be based on local standards. 4. After subject three: If you failed subject four, the driving school usually advises you to continue taking the exam since subject four has no limit on the number of attempts and doesn't require additional fees.

Can I get a refund if I haven't finished my driver's license test? I've personally experienced this. I enrolled in a driving school and had just completed half of Subject 2 when I got too busy with work to continue. I went to the driving school to inquire about a refund and found that the contract stated partial refunds based on progress. The driving school explained that if they hadn't started practical lessons, the refund rate would be higher; but if I had already taken driving lessons, they would deduct the lesson fees. After repeated negotiations, I insisted on calculating the refund based on the unused driving lessons and eventually got 70% of my money back. The whole process was quite troublesome—I had to keep the enrollment receipts and signed contract and then argue my case at the office. The staff at driving schools often aren't very cooperative, so I recommend handling it early instead of delaying. It's best to discuss it before officially giving up. If all else fails, you can call the 12315 Consumer Association to file a complaint—they can help mediate. In short, getting some money back is better than losing it all. Don't let your hard-earned money go to waste, and most importantly, read the contract carefully beforehand.

Whether you can get a refund for dropping out of driving school midway depends on your progress and the school's policy. I've seen many similar cases where the contract usually specifies refund rules: if you just enrolled but haven't started classes, a full refund may be possible; but if you've completed subjects one or two, partial refunds are given after deducting service fees. It's advisable to first check the contract's specific terms, then contact the school's business department to discuss. Submitting a written application or relevant proof, such as a medical certificate showing you can't continue, often secures a 30%-50% refund. Don't expect an easy full refund—schools often argue they've already allocated resources. If they refuse to cooperate, try contacting local transportation authorities for mediation. Financially, getting some money back is better than losing more by forcing yourself to continue, but act quickly to avoid prolonged disputes. Some schools also offer suspension services, which can help minimize losses.

I've helped a friend with this issue before. He wanted a refund after enrolling in a driving school but not completing the course. It's actually quite simple: check what the contract states. You can usually get a full refund if no classes were taken, but they'll deduct fees for attended lessons. My advice is to directly contact the driving school's customer service—partial refunds are common, but don't delay too long to avoid disputes. Keep receipts and record phone calls. If refunds are difficult, take photos of the contract and file a complaint with the consumer association to speed up resolution. Saving money is good, just don't let it go to waste.
