Do I need to pay again when transferring to another driving school?

[DiMarley]

Transferring to another driving school requires additional payment. Due to the school factor, the new driving school is not affiliated with the original one, so you need to pay the training fee/registration fee again. Regarding exams, if you have passed certain subjects at the original driving school, you may need to reapply for those exams at the new school, which is equivalent to retaking subjects one through four. The amount of tuition refund from the original driving school is not a fixed value, and there are no relevant laws or regulations specifying the refund ratio when transferring schools. Therefore, the refund amount needs to be negotiated with the driving school. If you have already completed subject one at the original driving school, the school has the right to charge you for the training fee, registration fee, and material fees for that subject. In theory, fees for services not yet rendered should be refundable. Additionally, both the original and new driving schools should be under the jurisdiction of the same vehicle management office, meaning the two schools should not be too far apart. If the original driving school refuses to refund the fees or deliberately delays the refund, you can report the issue to the traffic management department to protect your legal rights. Before choosing a driving school, it is advisable to visit the training site and assess the quality of the instructors. Also, when signing the contract, ensure that all related fees are clearly stated, such as exam fees, retake fees, and whether additional training fees for retakes are required, to avoid being scammed.
