The town, not the driving school
What a driving lesson costs in your region
The range is worked out from the prices of every driving school within 15 kilometres. It says what you have to reckon with — not which driving school is the right one. Choose a town:
Basel and the area around it · driving lesson 45 min. · 10 driving schools
Lowest price
60CHF
On average
78CHF
Highest price
90CHF
Move across the curve: you see how many driving schools cost up to that price.
10 driving schools within 15 km, one dot each, all the same size — only the town average is marked. A higher price does not mean „dearer“: it can mean 60 minutes instead of 45, an automatic, a pick-up at home or fully comprehensive insurance.
