The verdict in three sentences
A driving school grows with online enrollment, a lesson scheduler and a theory quiz for practice, not a static brochure. Budget 250,000 to 350,000 FCFA to start, 550,000 to 750,000 FCFA once you add enrollment and installment payment of the package, and 1,000,000 to 1,400,000 FCFA for an online theory quiz and instructor scheduling. The average package, 80,000 to 150,000 FCFA, is usually paid in 2 to 3 installments.
The 2026 pricing grid
| Plan | Price FCFA | Price EUR | Key content | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 250,000 – 350,000 | €380 – 535 | brochure, packages, license FAQ, contact | 7 days |
| Growth | 550,000 – 750,000 | €840 – 1,145 | + online enrollment, installment package payment | 12 days |
| Premium | 1,000,000 – 1,400,000 | €1,525 – 2,135 | + online theory quiz, instructor scheduler, student tracking | 18 days |
Installment payment removes the main barrier to enrollment: a 120,000 FCFA package scares paid at once, but works fine as 3 × 40,000 FCFA via Wave or Orange Money. Premium's theory quiz keeps the student engaged between sessions and becomes a strong marketing edge over nearby schools.
The package and installment payment
| Package | Price FCFA | Typical schedule | Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theory only | 40,000 – 60,000 | 2× | Wave / Orange Money |
| Theory + driving | 80,000 – 120,000 | 3× | Wave / OM / cash |
| Fast-track | 130,000 – 150,000 | 2 to 3× | Wave / OM |
| Extra hours | 5,000 – 8,000 /h | per unit | on site / Wave |
Offering multi-installment payment directly on the site raises the enrollment rate: the student commits online, pays the first deposit, and the school secures the file before the first session.

Mr Ndoye runs a driving school in Pikine. He logs ≈ 25 enrollments/month, with many hesitating on the total price. With the Growth plan at 650,000 FCFA, enrollment with a staged deposit lifts the conversion rate from ≈ 60% to ≈ 75%. On 40 leads/month, that's ≈ 6 extra enrollments. At an average package of 100,000 FCFA, that's +600,000 FCFA/month: the site pays for itself in the first full month.
FAQ
Is installment payment hard to set up? No: we configure deposits via Wave/Orange Money with automatic reminders. A 100,000 FCFA package splits into 3 × 33,000 FCFA frictionlessly.
Does the online quiz replace lessons? No, it complements them: the student practices exam-style question sets while you track progress. A retention and reputation asset.
Can I manage instructor scheduling? Yes in Premium: slots per instructor, student booking and no double-bookings.
What's the serious minimum? The Starter at 250,000 FCFA presents your packages and captures leads; you add online enrollment in Growth once volume justifies it.
How long to go live? From 7 days (Starter) to 18 days (Premium), depending on content delivery (packages, photos, quiz questions).
