New Pricing Grid for Driving Lessons Sparks Uncertainty
The announcement of a new pricing grid for driving lessons, scheduled to take effect on June 9, 2026, by the Kébili Regional Union of Industry, Commerce, and Crafts (Utica), has raised questions among driver's license candidates. While documents are circulating on social media and in some driving schools, no official communication from the competent authorities has confirmed the application of these new rates at this stage.
Current Regulations
According to current regulations, any modification of the tariffs of a regulated service must follow a precise administrative process before becoming applicable. A decision made by a professional organization or trade union is not enough to give it legal value. In the absence of official approval from the supervisory authorities, a new pricing grid remains at the proposal stage and cannot be imposed on users until the regulatory procedures have been completed.
Institutional Intervention
The potential revision of driving lesson tariffs involves several institutional stakeholders.
Recourse for Driver's License Candidates
While waiting for an official decision, driver's license candidates can continue to refer to the current tariffs. If a driving school demands payment exceeding the currently applied amounts, it is recommended to request a detailed invoice or receipt specifying the amounts paid. These documents serve as evidence in case of dispute.
Reporting Irregular Practices
Consumers who believe they are victims of irregular practices can also contact the control services of the Ministry of Commerce or the regional transport directorates to report the situation.
Pending Official Announcement
Until an official announcement is made, the question of the new pricing grid's entry into force remains open.
