What is the average cost of traffic school in California?

When you attend traffic school in California, you have three fees you’ll need to pay:

  1. Your traffic fine or bail: When you attend traffic school, you are pleading guilty to the charge and must pay your ticket in full in order to attend.
  2. Your traffic school admin fee: This is a fee that you pay to the traffic court for attending traffic school. In San Francisco County it’s $52.
  3. Your traffic school fee: This is the fee you pay to your traffic school provider once you have been approved for traffic school by the court and paid your traffic school admin fee. It is typically between $20 and $40, depending on the provider and what’s included

At Best Online Traffic School, we charge a flat fee of $27.99, but you don’t pay a thing until you pass your course. Read more about traffic school cost.

  3. How long do I have to take traffic school after a ticket?

    In San Francisco, you have 90 days to complete traffic school after you’ve paid your fine and traffic school administrative fee.

  4. Does traffic school remove points?

    ​In California, traffic school allows you to prevent a point from being added to your record for an eligible traffic violation. When you complete traffic school, the conviction is reported as a confidential conviction on your driving record, meaning the point is masked and not visible to insurance companies or employers. This prevents the point from affecting your insurance rates.

  5. How often can you do traffic school in California?

    You are eligible to attend traffic school once every 18 months to mask a qualifying traffic violation from your public driving record. This 18-month period is calculated from the date of the first violation to the date of the second violation, not from the date you completed traffic school.
