Ape is a small town in Alūksne municipality, situated right on the Estonian border. This remote location, with its beautiful natural surroundings, is a typical rural Latvian settlement where personal transport is not optional but an everyday necessity — the nearest town, school or doctor is several kilometres away.
There is no driving school in Ape, so students most often travel to Alūksne or use e-learning for theory combined with driving lessons from an instructor who visits the area. Before signing a contract with a particular school, it is recommended to study the CSDD statistics for the schools of interest — theory and driving examination pass rates help assess a school's actual quality.
The full training cost for Ape students often includes transport expenses to lessons and to the nearest CSDD examination centre — in Alūksne or Valmiera. Before signing a contract, always clarify the number of lessons included, the price per additional lesson and all additional expenses.
This section brings together driving schools training students in Ape and the northern part of Alūksne municipality, to help find the most suitable option.
