Tips for choosing a driving school in Turkey

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