COURT FEES:

This depends on your court. Generally around $100;

DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE COST:

Minimum $25. Most schools offer the minimum price of $25, however, there could be other costs.

VIDEO COURSE: Average $40.

It's not for everyone, but if you like to learn by watching videos then you have to shell out another $15 for a video course.

READ ALONG (AUDIO) OPTION: Average $5.

This is one option I would consider. It helped me finish my course with so much ease. The good new is you don't have to spend any money on this. A number of schools offer this option for free.

CERTIFICATE DELIVERY: Average $10.

Most people generally assume that once you finish your online course, you will get your certificate instantly. But a lot of savvy course providers get you there! They offer free certificate mail delivery, but charge you for instant download and/or expedited mail. We recommend that you look for schools that offer free instant certificate download.
