FAQ
How much does the road test cost?
State DMV road tests typically cost $10–$40. Third-party testing sites, where allowed, commonly charge $25–$80. Retests often have a separate fee of $10–$50.
What vehicle can I use for the test?
You must use a properly registered, insured, and roadworthy vehicle. The examiner will check brakes, lights, signals, tires, windshield, horn, mirrors, and seatbelts before the test. Bring current registration and insurance proof.
Do I need a licensed driver with me?
Yes. If you hold a learner’s permit, a licensed driver who meets your state’s supervising requirements must drive to the test site and remain until the exam begins or ends, as required by your state.
How long is the road test and what will I be tested on?
Most road tests last 10–20 minutes and cover basic driving skills: starting/stopping, lane changes, turns, speed control, yielding, right-of-way, parking (often parallel), and backing. Some states include a closed-course maneuverability test.
What if I fail the road test?
You can retake it after the state’s waiting period, often 1–14 days. Retests usually require another fee, and some states limit the number of attempts within a time frame.
