Promotions
Sometimes a driving school’s special offer actually attracts a student to the driving school. It is important to review all the terms of the offer before purchasing the service. You can read more about driving school promotions and coupon tricks here.
Presto Driving School offers its students a permanent promotion – a reward for purposeful training – the driving school covers its students’ CSDD (theory and practical) exam costs up to EUR 51.15 if the driving school exams are passed within the agreed time.
Contract analysis
The total cost of training is a considerable investment, therefore it is important to carefully review the contract and, if necessary, show it to a lawyer to ensure that it does not contain various risks or additional obligations (hidden costs). Be cautious if the school does not allow you to thoroughly review the contract before signing!
Presto’s contract describes the training process in detail and leaves no room for hidden costs. You can review the Presto Driving School contract here. The contract validity period is 1 year.
Reviews
Reviews of Autoskola Eksperts on their website are authorized and linked with the driving school’s Facebook page.
In contrast, Presto has the largest database of authorized reviews in Latvia; they can be sorted by instructors, lecturers and the driving school itself. No other Latvian driving school website has as many authorized (genuine) reviews as here.
Complaints
The complaint portal sudzibas.lv is popular but sometimes not objective. The reader should evaluate the context – the nature of the complaint, the driving school’s response, and whether the issue was resolved or unresolved. It should also be considered that there is a correlation between the size of the driving school, the number of clients served and the number of complaints.
