How much does the MPU itself cost?

MPU fees vary by assessment centre (TÜV, DEKRA, AVUS):

  • Alcohol MPU: approx. 400–580 €
  • Drug MPU: approx. 550–750 €
  • Points MPU: approx. 350–500 €

You have the right to choose your assessment centre freely – comparing prices is worthwhile.

Preparation costs

Professional preparation by a qualified traffic psychologist typically costs between 1,000 and 2,500 €. Total costs usually range from 2,000 to 4,500 €.

Our advice: Invest in serious preparation. The cost of a failed MPU (repeat assessment, waiting time, lost income) far exceeds the preparation costs.
