It costs a good deal to learn how to drive a car. The total cost to get a driving licence in Iceland can ranges from 270.000 kr up to 400.000 kr for the entire process.
Here is an example of how the total amount could be broken down:
| Applying for a study permit | 4.300 kr. |
| 15 driving lessons (12.900 per lesson) | 193.500 kr. |
| The textbook - Út í umferðina | 1.990 kr. |
| Driving school 1 (Ökuskóli 1) with us | 12.500 kr. |
| Driving school 2 (Ökuskóli 2) with us | 12.500 kr. |
| Driving school 3 | 49.500 kr. |
| Written exam | 6.580 kr. |
| Practical exam | 17.430 kr. |
| Total | 298.300 kr. |
If you want to know a little more about the whole process you can [fix link!!!]read about the process here.
Many students will want to take more than 15 lessons with an instructor to gain more confidence and will thus end up paying more. In addition, some students need to retake the practical or written exam (or both!) and thus the cost can increase quickly.
So as you can see, the cost can vary.
For example, if you took 20 driving lessons and needed to retake the written exam once the breakdown could look like this:
| Student permit application | 4.300 kr. |
| 20 driving lessons (12.900 kr. per lesson) | 258.000 kr. |
| Textbook - Út í umferðina | 1.990 kr. |
| Driving school 1 (Ökuskóli 1) with us | 12.500 kr. |
| Driving school 2 (Ökuskóli 2) with us | 12.500 kr. |
| Driving school 3 | 49.500 kr. |
| Written exam (twice) | 13.160 kr. |
| Practical exam | 17.430 kr. |
| Total | 369.380 kr. |
