Best Driving Schools with Fee Structure in Qatar 2025

Either you just turned 18, are eager to learn vehicle driving, or want to get a Qatar Driving License. You must choose the best driving school regarding faculty, location, and fees. It could be more complicated, but The Ministry of Interiorโ€™s (MOI) Directorate of Traffic regulates driving schools in Qatar.

MOI strictly implements a uniform curriculum for all the driving schools to standardize the training. It is advised to gather some information about driving schools before enrolling in any training center, such as their school timings, driving instructors, quality of services, and facilities provided to the learner. You can get driving experience certificate from officials once you have experience.

Moreover, It is also suggested to consider the following steps to select any driving school in Qatar.

  • Check fee differences & timings from the given tables.
  • Compare intended course quality with every driving school.
  • Get recommendations from your siblings, friends, and colleagues, or check reviews.
  • Check the distance between your residency and driving school (Some of the schools offer free transport).
  • Lastly, Youโ€™ll be lucky to get the spot immediately. Most of the time seats are booked and a learner has to wait for months.

You can drive in other countries on a Qatar International Driving License.

Documents Required for Admission

For the driving courses, you need the following documents to enrol:

  •  Copy of Applicant’s Qatar ID (profession on the QID must be eligible to apply for a driving license)
  • 1 x Passport size photograph 
  • Perform an eyesight test from any accredited eye test centres

FAQ’s

A:  The average cost for a full driving course in Qatar is around QR 3500 to QR 4000

A: The average learner needs 20 hours of practice to pass the driving test, in addition to 45 hours of driving lessons. Once you’ve started learning, ask your instructor for advice about when you are ready to start practising between lessons.

A: Light vehicles: 1. Full course: duration:40 hours on road classes + 15 hours on L & Parking with unlimited Signal and L/P test and 2 Road test

A: Obtaining a driving license in Qatar is not as difficult as you may think. Like everywhere else, you just need to be prepared before your test.

A: Because there’s less to master in an automatic car, some learners may find it quicker to pass their test. And the quicker you pass your test, the less money you’ll spend on driving lessons. But lessons in an automatic car might be more expensive than learning to drive in a manual.

Food for Thought

Qatar Guides (QD) did their best to provide you the updated, accurate information. I have gathered all the information from different sources under one roof and you can compare the fees accordingly. Please Note That: After getting information from QD, you are requested to visit their official page or contact the concerned school directly to confirm the fee, because it gets updated from time to time.

Every school offers courses like heavy licenses, bus licenses, forklift licenses, crane licenses, etc. I mentioned mostly VIP, Platinum, and Light Vehicle courses. Also, I have mentioned the timings, provided you with the Google map location, email, and contact number to contact them, and mentioned the website address to confirm the data in case of any updation. GCC residents can easily convert their license into Qatar driving license.

Doha is the heart of Qatar and Doha Driving Schools offers many courses, especially for VIPs. Do visit them.
