Morocco Driving Schools Price Freeze - No Rate Increases Allowed

Moroccan driving schools cannot freely increase their rates. The Ministry of Transport and Logistics has reminded that driving education establishments are not covered by the new direct and exceptional support operation launched since March 2026 for road transport professionals.

This aid targets freight and passenger transport companies to mitigate the impact of rising fuel prices on road transport costs. It should also help maintain normal market supply and public transport continuity without fare increases for citizens.

In a written response, Minister Abdessamad Kayouh clarifies that the scheme concerns notably road freight transport for third parties exceeding 3.5 tonnes, taxis, urban buses, tourist transport, intercity passenger transport, school transport for third parties and mixed transport in rural areas, according to the Ministry of Transport and Logistics.

Prices remain locked

Driving schools do not fall within this framework due to the nature of their activity. However, this exclusion does not allow them to raise their prices to compensate for fuel increases.

The ministry reminds that driving education services are among the services whose prices are regulated. Rates for theoretical and practical courses for obtaining a driving license are governed by regulations that set the hourly training price according to license categories.

Abdessamad Kayouh is clear: any potential increase in driving school rates would be "unlawful" and contrary to existing regulations. Driving license candidates therefore cannot be subjected to a unilateral price increase decided by their establishment.
