What else costs money?
- Riding lessons. The price per lesson varies by school. Ask whether a lesson lasts an hour or, say, 50 minutes.
- For an exam, your school usually charges for the motorcycle, the instructor and often a lesson just before.
- If you apply for the theory exam by post there are postage costs. If your school books it, it may charge extra.
- You fill in the health declaration (Gezondheidsverklaring) in Mijn CBR. You need it for the practical exam.
- The licence card from your town hall costs at most €53.65 in 2026, and €39.65 extra if you need it urgently.
Which licence?
Whether you go for A1, A2 or A depends on your age and experience. With A1 you do not need a new theory exam for A2. See motorcycle licence A1, A2 and A.
