Ive been shopping around, some schools cost about $300, others $500, and some run into the$1000s. If all the instructors and venues are the same, why such a difference?
Of the types of schools discussed above, they can be organized by a local/regional car club, or a company that does this for a business. At the grassroots level, the best value for money, in my opinion, will be schools run by car clubs. We put on drivers schools for the benefit of our membership. Entry fees are based on cost: renting the venue, operating cost of the event, gifts or t-shirts, with just enough money left over to pay the rental deposit for the next school. As club volunteers we, are paid by reduced or waived entry fees. Some Marque clubs specify that you can only participate in a specific make of car. Others, sell out so fast, it is difficult for non-members to get enrolled, so there are many groups running driving schools, as there are students to fill them.
