What does a Young Drivers franchise cost?

In Canada, the franchise fee for a single classroom in populations of 50,000 or more is $10,000. This includes an exclusive territorial and video license fee. In populations less than 50,000, the franchise fee is $7,500.

All franchise fees include a four-week Young Drivers instructor training program for one person, a ten-day Young Drivers classroom teacher program for one person, and a five-day business management program for up to two people.
