Becoming a driving instructor is incredibly rewarding but does involve taking some training courses. There is no set fee for becoming a driving instructor and costs can range from $3,135 to $10,330. It may differ between states and varies depending on factors like what type of instructor you are applying for and what driving program you attend.
Here’s an estimated breakdown of some of the costs you can expect:
  • Background check: $50-$100
  • Medical evaluation: $60-$200
  • Driving instructor training course: $3,000-$10,000
  • Instructor license: $25-$30
Once your students pass their driving exams, they’ll need car insurance—and this can be pricey for new drivers.
