So You Wanna Drive in the Peach State? Buckle Up (and Be Prepared to Pay...A Little)
Ah, Georgia. Land of peaches, pecans, and the burning desire to get your driver's license and cruise down those open roads. But before you blast your favorite tunes with the windows down (responsibly, of course!), there's that pesky little hurdle: the road test. And let's be honest, nobody wants surprises when it comes to fees. So, how much does this driving test cost anyway?
Don't Panic! It's Not an Arm and a Leg (Unless You Parallel Park Like a Baby Giraffe)
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
The good news is, getting your license in Georgia won't break the bank. The actual cost of the road test depends on your age:
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
- 16 and 17 year-olds: You get a bit of a discount, paying around $95.
- 18 and over: The price bumps up to $149. Hey, at least you can celebrate your newfound freedom with a celebratory waffle house breakfast afterwards.
But Wait, There's More! (Except There Really Isn't)
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.

That's pretty much it! The road test fee itself is the main cost. Of course, there's always the chance you might need a few extra driving lessons beforehand (no shame in that parallel parking is a beast!), but that's between you, your instructor, and your bank account.
