❓ Frequently asked questions
Are the driving test slot alerts really free?
Yes. Picking a test centre and turning on alerts is completely free, with no app-store download and no limit on how many alerts you receive. You only pay if you ask us to book a test for you — and even then only after it's confirmed.
How do the driving test cancellation alerts work?
Choose your test centre and tap Enable alerts. We watch the DVSA booking system and send a notification to your phone the instant a new slot is released at that centre — even when your phone is locked — so you can book it yourself before it's gone.
Do I need to install an app to get alerts?
No. Alerts work straight from the website on Android and desktop. If you'd like it to feel like a real app, add it to your home screen from your browser menu — still no app store, still free. On iPhone, add it to your home screen first, then enable alerts.
Can you book an earlier test for me?
Yes. If you'd rather not watch for slots yourself, message us on WhatsApp and share your details. We look for an earlier date at your preferred test centre and secure it for you. You only pay once the earlier test is confirmed.
When do I have to pay?
Never in advance. The alerts are free. For the done-for-you booking service, payment is only required after your earlier test has been successfully booked.
What are driving test cancellations?
When someone cancels or reschedules their DVSA test, that slot is released back into the system. These often appear at short notice and can be weeks or even months earlier than the next standard date.
What is a good driving test pass rate?
Pass rates vary by centre; the national average is around 50%. Use the map or the centre search above to check the latest official DVSA pass rate for any test centre before you book.
Which test centres do you cover?
Alerts cover all 320 car test centres across England, Scotland and Wales. Published pass rates are available for 318 centres. For Sep 2026, we have waiting-time figures for 314 centres and availability figures for 313 centres. Figures are not published for every centre.
