Do I need to pay to transfer my driver's license to another driving school?
2 Answers
Transferring to another driving school requires payment, and the fee is determined by the new driving school's training price, which varies from school to school. Below is relevant information about driving schools: Introduction to driving schools: A driving school is a training institution that helps people master driving skills, teaches them safe and civilized driving, and assists them in passing the vehicle management department's exams to obtain a driver's license. According to directory classification, it should belong to the training category within the transportation industry. However, due to the high degree of marketization, a more reasonable classification would be under the service industry in the tertiary sector. Enrollment information for driving schools: Applicants for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, special small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and light motorcycles must be between 18 and 70 years old, etc.
When you decide to switch from your original driving school to another one, there may indeed be some costs involved. Let me explain the common reasons. First, the original driving school usually charges for the remaining class hours or a certain administrative fee. If you withdraw early, they may deduct a portion of the amount for unfinished courses according to the contract terms. Second, the new driving school generally requires you to pay the registration fee and processing fee again, which often ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, depending on their policy. It's best to first ask the original driving school about the contract terms to see if you can negotiate for a smaller deduction, then confirm the specific costs with the new driving school, and also check local driving test regulations to avoid violations. Additionally, if you have many remaining class hours when transferring, you can try to negotiate transferring the value to save money. The whole process requires patience—don’t act blindly and increase unnecessary waste.
