Tips for Choosing a Driving School in Valencia
- Compare prices from at least 3 schools before enrolling. The cheapest option is not always the best — check what is included in the package.
- Ask schools about their pass rates. A higher pass rate often indicates better instruction quality.
- If Spain's official language is not your first language, ask if the school offers instruction or materials in your language.
