Hungary's 'Free Driving License' Program: What Students Need to Know Beyond the Headlines

Budapest, Hungary – A new government initiative in Hungary, set to launch in September 2025, aims to provide free KRESZ (traffic rules) courses, exams, first aid training, and medical fitness evaluations for high school students. The program is designed to ease the financial burden on families and encourage young people to obtain their driving licenses. However, Neon Autósiskola Debrecen, a local driving school, has brought to light several key considerations that prospective students and their families should be aware of. The driving school points out that while the theoretical and first-aid components are covered, the most substantial cost – the practical driving lessons – remains unfunded. Furthermore, concerns have been raised regarding the frequency of KRESZ exams within high schools, with reports suggesting only three examination opportunities per year. This limited availability could lead to significant delays for students, potentially causing them to forget learned material between attempts. Additionally, the school highlights that students completing KRESZ through their high school might forfeit a 25,000 Ft state subsidy, as direct support for questions or guidance related to the KRESZ curriculum may be unavailable within the school setting. Neon Autósiskola Debrecen advises students to carefully evaluate these factors to make informed decisions about their driving education.
