Registration & Enrolment
To register with DrivrMe, the student must:
- Be of the minimum legal age for the chosen license class
- Provide a valid government-issued photo ID
- Provide a biometric passport photo
- Hold a valid first-aid certificate (Erste-Hilfe-Kurs) — mandatory for license applications in Germany
- Pass an eyesight test or provide a valid optician's certificate
All documents must be originals or certified copies. We reserve the right to decline enrolment if required documents are not provided within 14 days of registration.
The training contract becomes binding upon receipt of the signed enrolment form and payment of the registration fee.
Fees & Payment
All fees are communicated clearly at the time of enrolment. Our pricing structure includes a basic registration amount, per-lesson fees, and statutory exam fees (TÜV/DEKRA). There are no hidden charges.
- The registration/basic fee is due upon signing the training contract
- Driving lesson fees are due within 7 days of the completed lesson
- Exam fees are due in full before the examination is booked
- All prices include VAT where applicable under German law
Outstanding balances may result in a suspension of training. DrivrMe reserves the right to charge statutory late payment interest on overdue amounts in accordance with §288 BGB.
Payments can be made by bank transfer, cash, or other methods agreed at enrolment. Receipts will be provided upon request.
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
We understand that scheduling conflicts arise. Our cancellation policy is as follows:
- More than 48 hours' notice: Lesson cancelled free of charge and rescheduled at no cost
- 24–48 hours' notice: 50% of the lesson fee will be charged
- Less than 24 hours' notice or no-show: The full lesson fee is charged
Cancellations must be communicated directly to DrivrMe by phone or email. Cancellations left as voicemails or sent outside business hours (Mon–Fri, 08:00–18:00) count from the next business day opening.
DrivrMe may cancel or reschedule lessons due to instructor illness, vehicle unavailability, or extreme weather conditions. In such cases, no fee will be charged and the lesson will be rescheduled at the earliest mutually convenient time.
Student Obligations
The student agrees to:
- Arrive punctually for all scheduled lessons (10 minutes late may result in forfeiture of the lesson)
- Not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that may impair driving ability
- Treat instructors, staff, and vehicles with respect at all times
- Inform DrivrMe of any medical condition, disability, or medication that may affect driving ability
- Complete all mandatory training components within the agreed timeframe (typically 120 days from start date)
- Follow all instructions given by the driving instructor during lessons
DrivrMe reserves the right to terminate training immediately and without refund if a student is found to be under the influence of any substance, or engages in abusive or dangerous behaviour during a lesson.
Examinations
DrivrMe will advise the student when they are ready for their theory and practical examinations. However, the final decision rests with the student.
- Theory exams are administered by TÜV/DEKRA and governed by their regulations
- If a student fails the theory exam, additional preparation lessons may be required at standard rates
- If a student fails the practical exam, a minimum number of additional driving lessons is usually required before re-sitting — DrivrMe will advise accordingly
- Exam booking fees paid to TÜV/DEKRA are non-refundable in the event of failure or no-show
- DrivrMe does not guarantee a pass — examination outcomes depend on the student's individual performance
Liability
DrivrMe holds full statutory insurance coverage for all training vehicles and lessons conducted by our instructors. During a lesson, the instructor retains responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle via dual controls.
- DrivrMe is not liable for personal belongings lost or damaged during lessons
- DrivrMe is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including failed employment opportunities due to examination outcomes
- Our liability for any direct damages is limited to the amount paid by the student for the specific service in question
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, which cannot be excluded under German law (§309 Nr. 7 BGB).
Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms & Conditions are governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship is Karlsruhe, Germany, provided the student is a business or does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany.
In the event of a dispute, we encourage students to contact us directly in the first instance. We are committed to resolving issues amicably and promptly.
Changes to These Terms
DrivrMe reserves the right to amend these Terms & Conditions at any time. Students will be notified of any material changes by email or via a notice on our website at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use of our services after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
The most current version of these Terms is always available on our website at drivrme.de.
