Getting a license comes with a minimum cost in Norway, as certain lessons are mandatory through a driving school. Prices vary, but the mandatory lessons alone will cost around 20,000 NOK. In addition, you'll likely need more driving lessons, and fees for the theory and driving tests with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. So, it can quickly approach 30,000 NOK, if you pass the theory test and only need one driving test attempt.

Here are our tips:

1. Learn the theory

Spend time studying the theory; this will make you much more confident when driving. Knowing the theory will also help you pass the theory test on the first try, and you'll be more secure during the driving test, answering any questions from the examiner confidently. You can test your theory knowledge for free in the Kör app.

2. Practice driving a lot

Spend plenty of time driving with family and friends. The more experience you gain as a driver, and the more confident you become, the fewer driving lessons you’ll likely need before you're ready for the driving test. Therefore, you'll save a lot of money. If you practice driving a lot and register each kilometer in the Kör app, you and possibly your parents will get cheaper insurance with our friends at Fremtind. In other words, you'll save money on your license and after getting your license. That’s great.

3. Practice driving correctly

Practicing driving is about both quality and quantity. Therefore, it’s important to practice routes that give you proper training and make you a better driver. In the Kör app, you will find routes you can drive to practice correctly.

4. Choose the right driving school and instructor

Many driving schools have introductory offers, and what seems like a cheap path to your license can quickly become more expensive. That’s frustrating. Choose a reputable school with good ratings and online reviews, and one that doesn’t have a price list with hidden costs. Meet the instructor or instructors. Take your time selecting a driving school, as it’s a choice you’ll hopefully make only once in your life. At Kör, you always start with a first driving lesson, where you meet us, meet one of our instructors, and find out if we’re a match.

5. Choose the right package

Most driving schools offer prepaid packages, and there’s a lot of money to be saved by purchasing a package. But choose a package that offers flexibility, enough lessons, and all mandatory lessons. The package should also be refundable, as it’s true in life that you won’t match with everyone, including driving instructors. At Kör, our packages offer flexibility; you can choose the one that suits you. Whether you want a cheaper package or a more flexible package, the choice is yours.

6. Watch for promotions and deals

Many driving schools offer promotions and deals. It’s up to you to stay alert for when the best offers are available. Actively use your browser to search different schools and see what deals they have. If you download the Kör app and accept marketing notifications, we’ll send you the best offers.
