The most expensive states and territories to get your driver licence in

Just as road rules in Australia change from state to state, the cost to get a full licence varies widely across the country.

The cheapest jurisdiction to get a licence is almost 10 times cheaper than the most expensive one, despite recent bills brought in to standardise costs, according to data from EzLicence.

Read on to see the most expensive states and territories to learn to drive in.

The Northern Territory has the cheapest total cost for getting a driving licence.

All up the NT license will run you $148 in total.

Victoria's licence costs are a big step up from the Northern Territories, costing drivers $569 from start to finish.

But that's still cheaper than other states.

Down in the Apple Isle it costs drivers $663 to get their full licence.

Ranking in fifth place, Western Australian learners will pay $788 before they can drive without licence restrictions.

In Canberra, drivers will pay $853 when all is said and done.

A NSW driving licence costs a cool $915 dollars for the complete licence, after the multiple stages of learner and provisional permits.

Just beating out NSW, Queensland's driver's licence costs $925, but thats still well shy of the most expensive state.

Recently introduced legislation by the SA government means learners in South Australia will pay a set fee of $240 for their practical driving test, in an attempt to bring the soaring costs down.

However, South Australia is still the most expensive state for obtaining a driving licence.  

The cost to get your licence, lessons, and test-related costs in South Australia come to a total of $1257.
