Do I need to pay again when changing driving schools?
1 Answers
Changing driving schools requires paying again, as there is no connection between different driving schools and they are in a competitive relationship. Therefore, it is inevitable to pay again when switching schools, which is equivalent to establishing a new training relationship with the new driving school. Of course, the cost is unavoidable. Another crucial point is that if you have already passed subjects like Subject 1 or other tests at your original driving school, you will need to retake these exams at the new school. The wasted time and effort require careful consideration before deciding to switch schools. The amount of tuition refunded by the original driving school is not a fixed value, and there are no relevant laws or regulations specifying the refund ratio when transferring. Therefore, the refund amount needs to be negotiated between you and the driving school. If you have already completed Subject 1 at the original driving school, the school has the right to charge you for the training fees, registration fees, and material costs related to Subject 1. In theory, fees for services not yet rendered can be refunded. Additionally, both the original and new driving schools should be under the jurisdiction of the same vehicle management office, meaning the two schools cannot be too far apart.
