Austrians have been flooding Hungarian towns close to the Hungarian–Austrian border to get cheaper driving lessons, according to Blikk.
Sopron's driving schools are well-equipped to handle the influx, employing numerous German-speaking instructors.
Under the current Austrian law, you can use your EU driving license in the country for a maximum of five years, after which it must be exchanged for an Austrian license, a process costing around HUF 23,000 (EUR 60), excluding the medical examination.
Presently, a category "B" license in Austria costs approximately EUR 1,950, nearly double the Hungarian price of HUF 375,000 (EUR 994).
