Tunisia Denies Reports of Increased Driving Lesson Fees

Driving schools in Tunisia have not increased their lesson fees, particularly for Category B licenses, according to the president of the National Syndicate of Driving School Owners. Mohamed Fadhel Baccouche firmly refuted circulating rumors on social media, labeling the information about a price increase as unfounded and possibly based on digitally manipulated content.

Baccouche emphasized that Tunisian legislation regarding competition and pricing explicitly forbids driving schools from establishing centrally regulated or uniform tariffs. This legal framework ensures a competitive market where prices are determined by individual businesses.

Currently, the cost of a driving lesson in Tunisia typically ranges between 25 and 35 dinars per hour. Each driving school independently sets its own pricing, adhering to the regulations in place. These statements were made in response to a wave of rumors suggesting a price hike, which have now been officially debunked by sector representatives.

The clarifications come at a time when online misinformation can spread rapidly. The syndicate's swift denial aims to provide accurate information to the public and prevent confusion regarding the cost of obtaining a driver's license in Tunisia.
