Privatista costs are mostly fixed government fees (Motorizzazione registration, stamp duty, exam fees) that don’t vary meaningfully by city — showing the national range for every city on this path.
How this is calculated
All figures come directly from our published, fact-checked cost breakdown — nothing here is invented or estimated from scratch. First-attempt totals and city-specific pricing (Milan, Rome, Turin, Bologna, Naples) are taken directly from the article’s cost tables. Additional attempts add the article’s published re-sit fee ranges once per extra attempt.

How much does Patente B cost in Italy in 2026?
From €536–€1,041 as a privatista (independent candidate) up to €770–€1,440 via an autoscuola, depending on your city and how many exam attempts you need.
Is the privatista route really cheaper?
Yes — you can save €300–€500 by studying independently for the theory exam instead of paying for the autoscuola theory course. Practical driving lessons (minimum 6 hours by law) are still mandatory on both paths.
How much does a re-sit cost?
A theory re-sit costs €10–€60 (depending on whether you pay the Motorizzazione directly or through an autoscuola); a practical re-sit typically adds €100–€180.
