how much does drivers ed cost
1 Driving schools offer combined classroom-and-driving packages for $200-$800 depending on the hours of instruction included, but typically average $300-$450. Behind-the-wheel instruction averages $50-$150 a lesson (usually two hour sessions, but it varies). 2  Stick-shift instruction generally costs a bit more than learning on a vehicle with automatic transmission and a freeway driving lesson is more expensive than one only on surface streets.
