KVR and appointments

In Munich, the "Kreisverwaltungsreferat" (KVR) is responsible. Appointments for initial applications must be booked online and are often fully booked weeks in advance – take care of this early.

Driving in rush hour

Practice drives on the Mittlerer Ring or at Stachus are the gold standard in Munich and prepare you perfectly for any major city.

Popular districts

Whether it's relaxed driving in Pasing, dense urban traffic in Schwabing, or the winding streets in Giesing – Munich offers an enormous variety of training areas.

Intensive courses

Due to high demand, many Munich driving schools offer holiday courses where you can complete theory and practice compactly during semester or school breaks.

Local relevance

Your training takes you across the city, from Sendling to Laim and Bogenhausen, with highway drives towards the Allianz Arena (A9) being a fixed part of the program.

Munich is the frontrunner for driving license costs in Germany. For a Class B (Car) license, the budget in 2026 usually falls between €3,500 and €4,500. Registration fees at driving schools are relatively high at €500 to €700, and a regular driving lesson (45 min) often costs between €85 and €100. Special drives (cross-country, highway, night) can be significantly more expensive in Munich.

For motorcycle licenses (Class A, A2), you should expect €2,500 to €3,500. The B197 license is also extremely popular in the city: you learn on an automatic car (ideal for stop-and-go traffic at Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz) but can still drive manual vehicles after 10 mandatory manual lessons. Conversion of foreign driving licenses is also a major topic in Munich, with special packages often offered for expats.

A local trend is the use of driving simulators in the initial phase to use the expensive real driving hours in the city center more efficiently. When comparing, check if the fees for the presentation for the theoretical and practical exams (often over €100 and €300 respectively from the school side) are communicated transparently.
