Passenger ELDT is $20. That's the lowest price you'll find for FMCSA-approved training. Other providers typically charge $23–$75 for the same course. If you need multiple endorsements, our 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus) is $50 and saves you $10.

If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered and do not need ELDT to keep your current license or renew.
