A driving school in Shanghai, which only uses Mercedes-Benz cars for training, has been welcomed enthusiastically by clients, particularly by female students.

 

上海一家驾校只用奔驰汽车当教练车，受到学员尤其是女学员的热烈欢迎。
 

 

A female client surnamed Chen is one of them. "Although the fees are quite high, it is reasonable and I am ok with it," she said.

 

Chen said in her impression, the cars in most driving schools are old and shabby, and the instructors¹ have reputations for being rude and even cursing at or beating students.

 

The school, jointly² run by Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy and Dazhong Driving School, just opened and has 31 students currently - 17 women and 14 men - and the majority of people who have come to inquire about the courses are women.

 

All the cars it owns are Mercedes-Benz executive cars, each valued at around 300,000 yuan (about 43,265 USD).

 

The fees at the school are approximately double the price that most driving schools charge, but some discounts are available.

 

It charges 16,800 yuan (about 2,424 USD) for those who choose to take lessons on weekends, 15,800 (about 2,280 USD) for students who decide to have lessons on workdays and weekends, and 14,800 (about 43,265 USD) for those who only have lessons on workdays.
