For a course costing PLN 4,600 in a car with manual transmission, the example total comes to PLN 5,177, and for a course on an automatic at PLN 4,800, it's PLN 5,377. The calculation assumes passing both exams on the first attempt and doesn't include the photo or extra lessons.

How much can a driving licence cost in practice?
Your final cost mainly depends on how many extra driving lessons and test attempts you need. These examples use OSK KopaMa’s prices; other schools may charge different rates. The examples with extra lessons use the standard rate of PLN 180 per hour. KopaMa’s own students pay PLN 150 per hour, saving PLN 60 on two hours. At that rate, the total is PLN 5,699 for a manual course or PLN 5,899 for an automatic course.

Example: two extra hours and a second exam attempt – manual

PLN 5,177 + 2 × PLN 180 + PLN 222
PLN 5,759
This example doesn't include the photo or a possible fee for using the school's car for the retake. Some schools offer a lower rate for extra hours to their own students — worth asking about before signing up.
Example: two extra hours and a second exam attempt – automatic
Minimum scenario plus two extra driving hours and a repeat attempt at the practical exam.
PLN 5,377 + 2 × PLN 180 + PLN 222
PLN 5,959
This example doesn't include the photo. A repeat exam may require a separate fee for using the school's car again.
What can increase the final cost?
The final price of a driving licence can go up if a candidate needs extra lessons, retakes an exam, or uses additional services from the school. The scope and price of such services should always be checked directly with your chosen school.
Extra driving hours
The price of an extra hour depends on the driving school. OSK KopaMa charges PLN 180 for one, but offers its own students a lower rate of PLN 150 — worth checking whether the school you choose offers a similar discount.
Retaking the theory exam
Every repeat attempt at the theory exam requires paying the PLN 55 fee again.
Retaking the practical exam
Every repeat attempt at the category B practical exam means paying the PLN 222 fee again, at the rate charged by the exam centre.
Using the school's car for the exam
Some schools let you take the exam in the same car you trained in, for an extra fee. At OSK KopaMa this costs PLN 360, or PLN 300 for its own students — a good example of the kind of question worth asking when choosing a school.
A longer break in training
After a longer break, a candidate may need extra refresher lessons before the exam.
What can the course price include?
- 30 hours of theory classes
- 30 hours of practical driving lessons

Manual or automatic – which course should you choose?
Manual course
After passing the exam in a car with manual transmission, you can drive both manual and automatic cars. The example course price used in the calculation is PLN 4,600.
PLN 4,600Automatic course
An automatic transmission can make it easier to start learning and lets you focus more on observing traffic. A driving licence obtained after such an exam comes with a restriction to cars with automatic transmission. The example course price used in the calculation is PLN 4,800, and in this specific example it also includes one use of the school's car for the exam.

How much does an extra driving hour cost?
The price depends on the school, category, and type of car. In OSK KopaMa's example price list, an extra hour of category B driving costs PLN 180, or PLN 150 for the school's own students. Worth checking whether the school you choose offers a similar lower rate for its students.
