Questions parents ask

What's the cheapest state-approved online driver's ed?

It depends on the state, because each course is approved only where it's listed. The lowest prices we found, checked October 20, 2026: California: National Highway Safety Administration ($21.95); Colorado: Coastline Academy ($25); Florida: Florida Virtual School (Free); Georgia: National Highway Safety Administration ($18.95); Indiana: Alliance for Traffic Safety ($45); Nevada: Coastline Academy ($25); Ohio: Drivers Education of America ($39.95); Texas: Comedy Driving ($29.95). We didn't find an approved course for $50 or less in Oklahoma and Virginia.

Is there free state-approved driver's ed?

Yes, in a few cases: Florida Virtual School in Florida. Check who qualifies on the provider's page; free courses are often limited to public school students.

Do cheap courses add fees?

Our prices include any fee the provider adds at checkout. State fees, such as permit and license fees or Florida's $3 DETS assessment fee, are the same whichever course you pick, so we leave them out. Behind-the-wheel lessons with a driving school are extra.

Are the cheapest courses still state-approved?

Yes. A course is listed only where it's approved. We checked every state's official list except California and Colorado, which don't publish one; there, approval is as the provider states it.
