Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Welcome to Speed Booking UK! Below you'll find answers to commonly asked questions about our fast-track driving test services, pricing, and more. We hope this section clarifies everything you need to know, but if you have further questions, feel free to contact our team.
How Do We Get Our Driving Test Dates?
At Speed Booking UK, we understand how frustrating it is to wait months for a driving test due to the current DVSA backlog. The DVSA itself doesn't have available test dates for months, and many customers wonder how we manage to have test dates in stock when the official booking system shows none.
Here's how we secure our driving test dates
1)- Partnerships with Driving Schools and Agencies
We have established strong relationships with multiple driving schools and test agencies that are allocated specific driving test dates by the DVSA. These partnerships allow us to source test dates that are not available through the DVSA website, helping you bypass the long waiting times.
2)- Test Finder Software
We also offer a premium service using our "Test Finder software", which is designed to search and locate your preferred test date within 2 to 5 working days. This advanced tool gives you access to earlier dates that may not appear on the DVSA website.
3)- Exclusive WhatsApp Group
To stay updated on all available test dates, join our exclusive WhatsApp group. We post fast-track driving test dates in real-time, so you'll have immediate access to the latest openings. This ensures you can quickly secure a test date that fits your schedule.
By utilising these methods, we help you overcome the DVSA backlog and get booked for your test as soon as possible!
Booking and Payment
How soon will I receive my confirmation?
After payment is received, most confirmations are sent within 2-3 hours. However, during weekends, bank holidays, or busy periods, this can take up to 48 hours.
Can I change my test date after booking?
In some cases, test swaps are possible depending on the agency through which the test was booked. Contact our admin team to confirm if your test is eligible for swapping. Additional fees for swapping may apply, ranging from £30 to £70.
What happens if I already have a test booked?
If you already have a test booked and want to fast-track it, we’ll need to cancel your existing test. Once canceled, the DVSA will process your refund (typically within 2-5 working days), and we can secure a new test for you.
Why do prices vary?
The price of fast-track driving test dates varies depending on the test center, date, and fees charged by the agencies we work with. Prices start from £190 (including DVSA fees). Weekend and peak-time tests may incur higher fees.
Refunds and Cancellations
Can I get a refund if my test is canceled?
We provide a £62 refund for weekday tests and a £75 refund for weekend tests if your test is canceled by the DVSA. However, all other administrative fees are non-refundable.
What is your refund policy for test bookings?
We offer refunds only for the DVSA fee if your test is canceled. All other charges, including agency and service fees, are non-refundable.
Test Day and Rescheduling
What happens if my test is rescheduled by the DVSA?
If the DVSA reschedules your test due to factors such as weather or instructor availability, they will notify you directly. Speed Booking UK is not liable for changes made by the DVSA.
Can I reschedule my test once booked?
Rescheduling your test depends on the agency handling your booking. Contact our admin team to check if a change is possible and the associated costs.
What should I do if I fail my driving test?
If you fail, we can help you book another test. However, the DVSA requires at least 10 working days between tests. Saturdays count as working days, but bank holidays do not. Be sure to plan accordingly.
Service Details
Do you offer tests for both automatic and manual vehicles?
Yes, Speed Booking UK offers driving test bookings for both manual and automatic vehicles. If you pass in a manual car, you can drive both automatic and manual vehicles. If you pass in an automatic, you’ll only be licensed to drive automatic vehicles.
Do you cover all UK test centers?
Yes, we cover most test centers across the UK, with a focus on London and surrounding areas. Check our website or contact us for availability at your preferred center.
External Factors and DVSA Changes
What if the DVSA changes my test date?
The DVSA may reschedule your test due to factors like weather or examiner availability. In such cases, the DVSA will notify you. Speed Booking UK is not responsible for these changes.
Is my personal information secure ?
Yes, we adhere to the highest standards of data protection in line with GDPR regulations. Your personal information is only shared with the DVSA and relevant booking agencies to secure your test.
Why Are Fast-Track Test Dates More Expensive?
At Speed Booking UK, we know our prices may seem higher than booking directly through the DVSA, but they reflect the convenience and value we provide. The current DVSA backlog means some test centres have waiting times of up to 12 months due to examiner shortages and high demand. Without our service, securing a test at your preferred centre could take months.
We give you access to hundreds of test dates, letting you choose a slot that suits you—something nearly impossible with standard booking. Our prices include DVSA fees (£62 for weekdays, £75 for weekends), plus the costs of sourcing hard-to-find cancellations through our trusted network of driving schools and agencies.
To make things easier, we offer Klarna, allowing you to spread payments over 3-4 months, so you can book your test without paying everything upfront.
We’ve successfully booked over 1,000 tests, with 125+ five-star reviews on Trustpilot & Google. All bookings are 100% verified, and our team is always available to assist you.
With Speed Booking UK, you’re not just paying for a test—you’re paying for a faster, stress-free route to getting your driving licence sooner. 🚗💨
General Questions
Do you charge extra for weekend tests?
Yes, weekend tests have a higher DVSA fee (£75 instead of £62), so the total price will reflect this difference.
What happens if I don’t respond to a test offer in time?
Due to high demand, test dates are available for a short time only. If you don’t respond quickly, the slot may be taken by another customer. We recommend keeping your phone handy and replying ASAP when we send you a test date.
Do you offer driving lessons?
We mainly specialise in fast-track driving tests, but we work with trusted driving instructors in London. If you need lessons, we can try to connect you with a suitable instructor.
📅 Booking & Payment
What happens if I don’t pass my driving test?
If you fail, we can book you another test as soon as you are eligible. The DVSA requires at least 10 working days before you can retake your test.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept:
✅ Bank Transfer
✅ Debit & Credit Cards (Including American Express)
✅ Klarna (Spread payments over 3 or 4 months)
Why is Klarna not showing as a payment option?
Klarna is only available for eligible customers based on their credit approval process. If Klarna does not appear at checkout, try another payment method.
🚗 Fast-Track Test Availability
Why can’t I find test dates on the DVSA website, but you can?
The DVSA website only shows limited availability. We source test dates through:
- Exclusive agency partnerships
- Advanced Test Finder Software that scans for last-minute cancellations.
Can I request a specific test date and time?
We will try our best to match your preferred date, but test slots appear at random. To increase your chances, we recommend being flexible with your dates and times.
🔄 Rescheduling & Cancellations
Can I swap my test for an earlier date?
Swaps depend on availability and the agency handling your booking. Due to recent DVSA crackdowns, test swaps are becoming harder to arrange, so we cannot guarantee this option.
What if my test gets canceled by the DVSA?
If the DVSA cancels your test due to:
- Examiner shortages
- Bad weather
- Other operational reasons
They will reschedule your test for free. You can check your new date on the DVSA website or contact us if you need help rebooking.
What if my instructor isn’t available for my test?
It is your responsibility to confirm your instructor’s availability before booking a test. If your instructor cancels last minute, you may need to:
🚗 Find another instructor
🚗 Use your own car (as long as it meets DVSA test standards)
