The cost of obtaining a Class B driving licence in Ghana has increased to over GH¢2,000 in 2026. The standard fee set by the Ghana Revenue Authority remains at GH¢642.25. However, additional charges for driving school training and premium services have pushed the total cost significantly higher.
Drivers seeking to obtain or renew their licences must now account for extra expenses beyond the official fee. These include mandatory training programs and optional services offered by private driving schools. The rise in costs reflects growing demand for driving education and the inclusion of more comprehensive training modules.
The increase follows years of rising operational costs for driving schools and stricter regulations on driver training. The Ghanaian government has not adjusted the base fee since 2021, leading to a gap between official rates and actual expenses. As a result, many applicants are now budgeting more for the licensing process. The situation highlights the financial burden placed on drivers seeking to legally operate vehicles in the country.
