Driving in Qatar
Whether you are new to driving and planning on getting your driver’s license for the first time or an experienced driver and looking into getting a Qatar driver’s license, finding the right driving school can be a bit tricky. Where there are factors such as fees, location, or quietly of instruction, that goes into consideration when choosing a driving school.
The Ministry of Interior’s Directorate of Traffic regulates driving schools in Qatar. Where all driving schools follow a unified curriculum and maintain a similar standard of training and instruction. Nonetheless, there remains some differences in the quality of service provided by the driving schools, based on their instructors, facilities provided, and customer service. Hence it is always best to do your research first before applying.
- Refer to a friend or someone you know that has recently got their driver’s license and seek their recommendation.
- Look into multiple options and check the driving schools’ website to compare prices and reviews.
- Check the location of the driving school and whether you can accommodate transport from your home.
- Another option is to visit the driving school, and ask them about their driving courses, facilities, fees etc., perhaps even if they can offer free transportation, which some may do.
- An important thing to ask about when you reach out to driving schools, is the waiting period to start the driving course. Where some may have a packed schedule and you might have to wait for 2-3 moths to start the course.
With that being said, we prepared a list of driving schools in Qatar, to make it an easier process for you to get your driving license. Along with their update fees for 2021.
