How much does an MPU at TÜV or DEKRA cost?

The fees charged by assessment centers for the MPU itself vary depending on the reason for the assessment. A points-only MPU falls in the lower range, while alcohol or drug MPUs with additional medical examinations are higher. You can find out the exact fees from the respective assessment center or during our free initial consultation.

Can I deduct MPU costs from my taxes?

In certain cases, MPU costs can be claimed as extraordinary expenses or as business expenses for tax purposes. The prerequisite is that the driver's license is absolutely necessary for your profession. We recommend discussing this with a tax advisor.

Are installment payments available for MPU preparation?

Many providers, including us, offer flexible payment options. Ask us about this during your free initial consultation. Together, we will find a solution that fits your financial situation.

How much does abstinence documentation cost?

The costs for abstinence documentation depend on the chosen method and the documentation period. Urine screenings are conducted over 6 or 12 months, and depending on the number of checks, the costs add up accordingly. A hair analysis is an alternative that covers a period of up to 6 months. You can get exact information during our free initial consultation.

Do I have to pay the MPU costs myself?

Yes, you bear the costs for the MPU and the preparation yourself. There is no government subsidy or cost coverage by health insurance companies. In some cases, employers support the costs when the driver's license is professionally required.

What does it cost if I don't pass the MPU?

If you don't pass the MPU, you must pay the full assessment fees again for each subsequent attempt. Additionally, there may be further costs for renewed preparation. That is why thorough preparation for the first attempt is particularly cost-effective.

Additional costs that may arise

In addition to the costs for the MPU itself and the preparation, further expenses may arise that you should factor into your planning:

Abstinence documentation

The costs for urine screenings depend on the number and duration of the checks. Depending on the documentation program (6 or 12 months), multiple checks are required, and the total costs vary accordingly. A hair analysis is an alternative that can cover a period of up to 6 months.

Medical report

In some cases, a separate medical report is required, for example in cases of medication misuse or health limitations. The costs depend on the type and scope of the examination.

Traffic psychology consultation

A traffic psychology consultation recognized under § 71 FeV (German Driving License Regulation) can shorten the waiting period until the reissue of the driving license. The costs are determined by the respective consultation center.
