Lessons + I want test alert assistance

I need intensive lessons and want LIDT's test alert assistance to help me find a test slot.

Lessons + I will book my own test

I need intensive lessons. I will search for and book my own test slot on GOV.UK.

Lessons + I already have a test booked

I have a test date. I need lessons and a test car for test day.

Lessons only

I need driving lessons only. I do not need test booking help.

Test slot help only

I do not need lessons. I just need help finding a test slot.

What assisted booking includes: real-time slot alerts, swap pairing with other candidates, Zoom guidance sessions, and remote connection assistance. You complete every step yourself via GOV.UK, fully compliant with 2026 DVSA rules.

The £100 platform fee is our charge for the service, on top of the DVSA test fee which you pay directly to DVSA. It is only charged once you successfully book a test slot through our alert or swap matching service. No booking, no fee.

Test booking reference

Not required but helps if we need to reference your booking.

We will build your course around your existing test date. Please do not make any changes to your test booking without speaking to your instructor first. From 31 March 2026 DVSA only permits 2 changes per booking.

Existing booking check

Do you currently have a driving test booked? *

Yes No

This service is only for those without an existing booking.

We cannot change your test booking.

You can cancel your existing booking to use this service - but please understand there is no guarantee we will be able to secure you a new test.

Test date preferences

Earliest test date you would consider *

The earliest selectable date is 13 days from today.

Latest test date *

At least 1 week after your earliest date, and before your theory expires. Three weeks or more gives you the best chance.

Your availability (select all that apply)

Guidance only. Cancellations appear whenever they appear, so your search covers your whole date range whatever you tick here. Where two slots would both work, we go for the one that matches. Leave them all unticked if any time suits, which gives you the best chance.
