Unexpectedly good experience I usually don’t trust services like this, but DriveBot surprised me. The setup was simple, the alerts were instant, and I didn’t feel spammed or confused at any point. It did its job and got the slot fast.
It really works
It really works. I was frustrated about booking a driving test within 2 months. Some individual do it but they ask for Extra £150 more other than £62. It's blackmail. So I tried drivbot and got the results and it saved me £100.
It works!
It works! Trying to find a test (or cancellation) using the DVSA website is incredibly frustrating and time consuming but this website gets the job done! So easy to set up too.
Worth not having to keep checking!
Signed up on Sunday evening and test moved and booked on the Wednesday. Gone from waiting 5 months to 10 days.
Horrible error -booked a driving lesson…
Horrible error -booked a driving lesson in less than 12 hours’ time and no response or remedy given. Lost original timeslot and money spent.
Need to be responsive and give a resolution when serious errors are made.
UPDATE
There is no dashboard? There’s no way to see what you’ve booked, no login. Not sure if you’ve tried to use your own service from a user perspective? Only proper response would be a refund - 24 hours notice is very different from 12 hours notice (hearing in the evening of an appointment first thing in the morning that you then can’t edit). Raising this with the police as fraud.

Great and easy
Do not trust. PAYING FOR GOOD REVIEWS
I went by reviews so thought this was genuine. It isn't. Within the week a human managed to book my test within the next few weeks. The bots did not. I have no countdown to refund, and get automated or difficult and rude emails in response. Already proving challenging to get a refund. I absolutely would never recommend nor use this service again. Please do not be fooled that it is easier for you to get a test, or that they will refund you. Very unpleasant and a rip off.
I was emailed after this, that I would only get a refund if I took down my review. Though I got it eventually.
I subbed again for the cancelled test alerts and let me tell you they are wildly inaccurate or outright fake. They were always gone as both the alert and taken message sent at the same time. I started checking myself at night and all the cancellations that came up - NEVER pinged on the app. It's absolutely a trick to get you to use their auto feature. Some of the tests are probably genuine, sure. But so many are not. Please just refresh the website in morning and evening when people are more likely to cancel. I spent my £20 so you don't have to.
Also lying in their response and I have the emails from themselves to prove it.
Note all the good reviews are 'invited'. They're paid...

This is the second time using this…
This is the second time using this service. I honestly can’t fault and I highly recommend it. communication is always good too.
No regrets.
I used another cancellation app and kept getting notified of cancellations, by the time I'd jumped on dvla website, it had gone! I tried driveBot and the same happened, i was distraught. I then upgraded to the auto booking, within 2hours they had booked a test at the centre I wanted. Over the moon!
An absolute lifesaver
Like most people, I found it almost impossible to find a driving test by myself. To secure my first test it took multiple daily checks and 6am starts to finally get one that was 6 months away.
After failing my test recently, I simply couldn't face going through that again and waiting months for a new one. I was really skeptical about handing over the money in advance to this bot but I am so glad I did and couldn't recommend it enough. I went for the autobooking subscription and it found me a last minute cancellation in less than two weeks (the new test is only 3 weeks after my first one!). I am SO happy with the service. If you do decide to use it, just pay the extra money for the autobooking option as it will save you so much time and energy. Obviously I'm hoping to pass my new test but, if I don't, I will be using the bot again.
Whether you like it or not, the only way to get a test at the moment is by using a bot and, as they say, if you can't beat them, join them!
Absolutely the worst experience
Absolutely the worst experience. I paid £50, never heard a thing, went online myself at 5.50am every monday morning and managed to book for my son. Subsequently sent an email, as advised, asking for refund and to cancel subscription. The idiots failed to respond to my message and to make matters worse, then weeks later exchanged the test I already had booked for beginning of may to the end of May, right in the middle if my sons A'levels. Absolutely livid! All automated and no contact whatsoever fro. The company. AVOID

So it's been a week and it hasn't given me a test, even though I have them quite a large date window. Think it's a scam! £50 wasted. Avoid

Got a test within 3 weeks
Got a test within 3 weeks for the next day. Great bot!! Very happy with the auto booking service
Must say we are against in principle but a good company to use.
Firstly must say we are against companies making money out of reselling driving tests etc. Good that in 2026 the government will stop these companies buying tests for resale. So that said, my wife had been sitting at the computer at 5.40am every Monday to book a test and the bots were logged in in front of her. We battled to get tests ourselves, but when our son failed we wanted to get one quicker. So we used this company, after 10 days it got a test for a week later. He failed that so we paid again. The second time it got a test the following week just 20 minutes after paying. Really impressed.
