Driving School + Driver's License In Abuja
« on: September 27, 2008, 09:17 AM »

Hey All,

I need some info on this. Can anyone recommend a good Driving school in Abuja? Preferably somewhere I can have an intense crash course. e.g. 2 weeks full time? and the exams?
And also the procedure for getting a license, how long does this take? And getting an International license?

Thanks for any recommendations! It's about time I learned to drive,  :p

You think two weeks is enough to achieve a good driving result?? i know in Nigeria driving licenced is as easy to obtain as pure water, unlike here in the europe, befor u get ur driving licenced u must have driven 20hours minimus if u are that shape u might pass the text, and to pass the thory text umh!! u will sweat, i am a nigerian and i ve a nigeria driving licence which is not valid here, u can drive with it but mind u if u are cought u will pay a penalty. So u will be asked to study and obtain their own licence with which u can use it to drive all over the world as there is no cheating in the exam. Anyway i advice u to learn more than 2 weeks don't be in hast just take ur time never mind how much money or time it will cost u, for driving is not a child's play.

Thanks!

Yes, I do know that there are a minimum no. of hours, that's why I was thinking of something like a "full-time course", if that even exists. Thinking of doing this during my vacation, 2-3weeks. (since I'll be "idle" during the daytime anyways)

And yes, I do know I'll have to get another license here, but I figured if I actually already knew how to drive, (having learned a bit at home where it's way cheaper), when I return I will only need as few (super-expensive) classes as possible to be allowed to take the test and then get a license. The classes + exams here is approx. 3000EUR, that really is a lot!

Thanks for any suggestions!

And anyone with recommendations, if you know about prices also, please let me know.

Cheers!

Hey Siena, thanks but no thanks! :p family and friends are in Abuja so that's where I'll be staying.

@skillmyman: Thank you so much!!! That's the kind of thing I was looking for. As intensive a lesson as possible, even if I don't get a license afterwards. At least this way I'll only take as few lessons as possible once back here.

exactly my point, I can get 15 lessons in Naija for about 200EUR (according to the AA website: http://www.aarescuenigeria.net/driving_school.html) the same amount will barely get me 4 lessons here! again, thanks a zillion!

Thanks a lot! you guys are awesome! Wink

There are so many driving schools in Abuja. You can even decide to have a 'customized' session just for you. GARKI AREA 10 (opposite Defence Headquarters)hosts a lot of them. I just completed a 2-hour crash course 2 saturday ago. They have their methods and styles, which you can intelligently harness to suit your needs.
2-weeks is about NGN6,000 and 1 hr is about NGN2,000.00 (if you know how to drive before but just wants to perfect things). I may not be able to give you their GSM numbers here, since I don't have their permission to do so.

They'ld give you their certificate and can help you secure driving licence/learner's permit.

Good luck

Hey benincitys
  There  should be driving schools in  Benin you guys IDEAL of taking courses in naija is pretty wise, but don't go copy bad system there as this may count on u here. Because i am passing through hell here just to be able to pass my pratical text, during the lessons, MY monitor will tell me that i drive well, but the day of the text the inspector will disqualify me for his reasons, i ve failed THE EXAM two times. With my caculations i ve already spent 3120 euros without having it, HUBBY is not happy and adviced me to change school but i still believe i am good enough to pass it with my present school as they rea not the judge on the day of the exam. The thing is that, each time u fail, u will ve to reenrole with 80 euros and take some driving lessons while waiting to repass another exam, my last exams was an intentional act by the inspector, driving school in europe is a good bad business lolllllllssss. i just hope my third time will be my last time with them(operation get my driving licence)

benincitys, how do u look at Edo state  Huh

I guess thats where u are from and would prolly be staying in B/C when u get there. .

Edo state is not a village girl, they have most things u find in every happening State.

Guess u didnt put into consideration the way cars are brought into the country from Europe and most of them are sold in Edo state where u don't know if they have a driving schl  Undecided

U fall una people hand big time.  Lips sealed
