FAQ
How much does a driving licence cost in Germany?
The total cost for a Class B (car) licence is typically €2,000–€3,500, with the ADAC reporting an average of ~€2,800. This includes: Fahrschule registration €100–200, theory lessons + materials €200–400, driving lessons at €45–70 per 45 minutes, 12 mandatory special drives €540–840, theory test €22.49, practical test €116.93, first aid course €25–50, eye test €7, photos €10, and licence application €40–50. Costs vary significantly by region.
What is the German theory test format?
The Theorieprüfung for Class B has 30 multiple-choice questions (20 basic + 10 class-specific) to be completed in 45 minutes. Each question carries 2–5 error points. You must score no more than 10 error points to pass. Important: two 5-point questions wrong = automatic fail even under 10 total points. The test costs €22.49 and is administered by TÜV or DEKRA. Available in 12 languages.
Is there really no speed limit on the Autobahn?
Only about 60% of the Autobahn network is unrestricted. The remaining 40% has mandatory posted limits (typically 80–130 km/h). On unrestricted sections, the advisory speed (Richtgeschwindigkeit) is 130 km/h. Driving faster is legal but increases your liability share in any accident, even if you were not at fault.
