This worked for us

This worked for us! Within 3 days of setting up my son has a test at his preferred test centre in just over a weeks time!

Unfortunately found other apps much better

I tried DriveBot for two weeks; admittedly, the window that I wanted to book a test in was 3 weeks not the recommended month, but there were still many times where a suitable test would come up and the bot would fail to auto-book it. I tried a competitor and they secured me a slot within three days for half the price.
Customer Services however were very helpful when I contacted them with questions, and my refunds were processed quickly.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I generally don't leave reviews (especially not positive ones) but I wanted to share me experience.
We had a test booked for a test centre 300 miles away for January. After many Monday mornings of being online waiting that was the best I could do. I regularly checked for cancellations. Then managed to get one for my local centre but for February which I took.
I researched and chose Drivebot due to the money back guarantee. I screenshot it and used my credit card to pay as decided I've do a chargeback if it wasn't legit. I needn't have worried. I saw the notifications when I logged in on the user dashboard and could see it was working away in the background.
Yesterday at around 3pm I got an email to say we had an appointment at my local centre - the only one I selected - for this morning. So barely 20 hours notice but worked for us. My daughter took it and passed today.
I am so happy as her learner insurance was about to run out and would need a lot more spending than the cost of Drivebot. She is so happy as she only turned 17 4 months ago and has now passed before all her older friends who are still waiting on tests.

Wow! Amazing!

My son failed his test 5 times, so we had an incredibly stressful time! DriveBot was totally AMAZING over this time. Whenever he failed another test, I logged onto DriveBot and registered for a test at our local centre. DriveBot never failed to come up with a test within two weeks! And when a test is booked by them, it is done directly with DVSA, so the email confirmation from DVSA comes straight through. Honestly, he would never have managed to pass his test by his deadline for work without DriveBot. It cost us a fortune! But it was completely worth it for us. Definitely do the most expensive option of £111 (this does include the test fee of about £60). Thank you DriveBot! I have to say I don’t think there is a single human involved in this, but it still works!

First time with Drivebot

Signed up for autobooking and received a test date at my chosen centre very quickly. Absolutely no chance of getting a test through DVSA site. Passed this week. Thanks!

Great service

Great service, I have received a test date for next week in the test centre I wanted. My original test date was middle of January in a different test centre.
All in all I am happy with the service & would recommend DriveBot!

Works really well

Was a bit skeptical at first but gave it a try and went for autobooking. I had a test booked buthe test centre was way too far away. Within a week and after 5-6 failed attempts it succeeded in getting me a test with my local centre. Very impressed, well worth the £49 to avoid using the dvsa website.

This is Fake and scam......

This is Fake and scam....... I paid for the automatic booking service, but none of it works — the Telegram bot just keeps repeating the same messages over and over. The whole setup feels fake and like a scam. They also seem to keep adding fake positive reviews to bury the genuine negative ones, so please read those before wasting your money.

And please don’t reply with the usual computer-generated response claiming you’ve sent “millions of notifications” or “tried to contact me multiple times” — that’s simply not true. I emailed to claim my refund under the “7-day money-back guarantee” and was told to use the refund portal on their website, which doesn’t work at all.

Don’t waste your money — this service is fake and a scam.

Reply from DriveBot

Hi Hollie,

Sorry that our service did not meet your expectations. I believe there’s been some misunderstanding, and I’d like to clarify a few points to clear the air:

1. Your desired appointment date range was set to end on 17 Oct Once that range expired, the bot could no longer send new slot notifications, as the bot only notifies you when the appointment falls in your required range. The bot also sent you an automatic reminder to update your range, but according to our records, it was never changed before this review was posted.

2. You mentioned that the appointment notifications are “the same and repeating”:

Please note that when the DVSA repeatedly re-releases the same cancellation, the bot will resend a similar notification — that’s normal behaviour, not repetition or fake messages, and the notification will be gone as soon as the appointment is taken.

We’ve also double-checked the appointment status at your selected centres — Reading and Basingstoke — and our system logs confirm that the bot has consistently detected and alerted about cancellation slots at both centres during that period. I believe other customers who subscribed to these centres can confirm receiving the alerts without issues as well.

3. You claim that the refund portal does not work. We rechecked your dashboard, and the refund function works just fine, so we are not sure what issues you encountered specifically. Please don't hesitate to ask the customer support if you still have trouble with the refund request.

4. We’ve also reached out to you several times (regarding both your refund request and the notification issue). Unfortunately, we haven’t received any follow-up from you since November 1st. We’d be happy to help resolve any remaining concerns. Could you please reply to our last email or contact info@drivebot.co.uk with the subject [Trustpilot] + Submission ID, so we can get this sorted as soon as possible for you?

Thanks for your patience, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Would definitely recommend

Would definitely recommend, does exactly what they promise. I gave them a time frame and within two weeks they found me a test date, and we all know how difficult it is at this time.

Brilliant service and customer support

Brilliant service - have used 4 times now and each time DriveBot have delivered. My son added a wrong date and after some online chats their customer service team rectified and were quick and efficient. Highly recommend.

Auto-booked in 6 hours.

Obviously frustrated that this is necessary but when we couldn't even get onto the website to change a test, we gritted our teeth and paid for the premium drivebot autobooking service. Within 6 or so hours it had booked us a test in one of our chosen 5 test centres. The test is a long time off so it's good that we have a couple more drivebot rebookings to try to move it nearer.

Cheap and reliable

Cheap and reliable, found me a test in about two weeks, with 1 week notice, in the dates i selected!
Note: I gave it a small window (range of dates) to find me a test, it should be faster the larger the window is.

In summary:
Great service, easy app to use, and good customer service. For 50£ this is a bargain compared to other dodgy WhatsApp groups that want 200£ for a test.

We've used this service twice now

We've used this service twice now. We used the booking service where it looked and booked us.
The 1st time was a last minute cancellation and booked within 3 days (26/09)
The 2nd time looked and booked for today (24/10) so 4 weeks later we could have tried to change it but tests come up few and far between so we were just happy to take this one and it was a pass 😁

Third time in a row now using drivebot

Third time I’m using them, all three times went for the automatic booking service, works perfectly. Signed up again on drivebot 2 days ago and this early morning they got the slot booked. Perfect. Love it.
Makes failing… i wouldn’t say a pleasure but certainly a little less harder 😜😬🤣

I’d highly recommend their automatic driving test booking.

Forgot to say: i needed to cancel a booking and got in touch, got immediate support for how to cancel a booking with dvsa and afteri canx my exam date they reinstated my subscription immediately at no extra cost and got my next booking fast and easy. Whenever i had a question their customer service never ghosted me. Great service on all fronts.
