Surprisingly good. So many apps out there claiming it can do this and that but these guys are actually so efficient. I would've paid double for a slot and they definitely delivered that in just 3 days... See more

Very straightforward process, and actually worked! Not ripping you off like those instructors charging £200+ and want to help you get a test quickly. Im very happy!

Within 4-days of cancelling my driving test, Driving Scout found me an alternative date 11-weeks down the line. Perfect.

Driving Scout have found 2 cancellations for me both times within a few weeks. It is so easy to set up and use. Worth every penny.

I was having no luck getting a test in my town, and a colleague put me onto Driving Scout. I signed up and paid on October 1st - a week later on the 7th they’d found me a test! Brilliant service.

Basically indicated my preffered time range for my test and left Drivingscout to handle the rest. Got a great slot and didnt have to wait too long.

Over the moon my test has been moved up over 13 weeks - I really cannot believe this has happened. Support was also great at reassuring me just to wait and it was all worth it.

Better Apps Exist – This One is Trash

I paid £17.99 for DrivingScout and it was a complete waste of money. In two weeks, it didn’t find me a single cancellation. Yet during that same time, I kept getting notifications of cancellations from other apps. When I finally gave up and paid for TestShift Premium, I had my test booked within 10 minutes for the exact date I wanted.

DrivingScout is useless, misleading, and their customer service is absolute trash. They take your money and deliver nothing. Don’t bother — there are much better apps out there that actually work.

Definitely use it. Dont put it off.

Found this online after beinf recommended another version.
I ummed and ahhed for months then finally when I couldn't get my daughter a test until August in Taunton, miles from us, i gave in. Paid up and inserted all the dates her instructor was unavailable (a lot!!!) I then waited and waited. It prob took 3 to 4weeks but finally it auto booked a cancellation in Kingswood for 21st August at 7am. On a free date for the instructor. And she passed first time.
Its all connected to dvla so the original test she had in taunton was cancelled and this one booked. So easy. Saved me hrs of searching gov site and getting booted and I really really wish id done it months ago. Shes off to uni now so no time to enjoy her driving. If youre thinking about it just do it. Worth every penny n not even that expensive.

I have been given cancellations within 2 weeks which is great, the automatic booking makes it so much easier as you don't have the worry of missing the message and only having a limited time to reply. I have already recommended you to a friend and will do so again.

Drivingscout misses cancellations and admits that

Drivingscout offered me one very last minute cancellation during over six months of having their automatic booking option. During this time I saw numerous cancellations on another app. Drivingscout responded to my query about this by saying that as they check every few minutes, it’s entirely possible they would miss cancellations. I felt this fell short of what they advertised in terms of service. I would not waste your money- it’s better to find an app which flags cancellations in real time and then go into the DVSA site yourself. This app does not work any better than doing the searches yourself, unfortunately.
