FRECUENT QUESTIONS
What do I need to enroll in Gala Driving school?
The minimum age to obtain a B licence is 18 years-old. However, the theoretical lessons can be started sooner and sit the exam when you are 17 years and 9 months-old. There are 2 exams to pass in order to obtain a car licence:
- Theoretical exam
- Driving exam
What are the requirements to sit an exam?
Undergo a medical test certifying that you have the physical abilities required to drive a car. If your nationality is not Spanish, you need to prove 6 months Spanish residency before applying for an exam (NIE issue date, University certificate or census)
Which costs are associated with applying for a driving exam?
The charges are:
- Admin fee: processing your file in Traffic HQ so you can sit an exam.
- Driving exam: usage of the vehicle during the driving test.
Remember that if you have NO attempts available (taxes allow 3 calls but only 2 fails), you would have to pay the taxes again since this is what enables you to sit an exam. This DGT tax is 92.20€
