Drive Bot are excellent

The drive bot team have been exceptional in finding cancellations for us, once we had a test booked in a random part of the country, drive bot took over and provided a test withing 4 weeks at one of our chosen canters. This has happened on 3 separate occasions within the 3 month subscription window. If we ever needed to I would use them again but cant recommended them enough. Do pay for the auto book service and be patient

Hi there,

We release multiple cancellation alerts every day, so it’s very unlikely to go “months” without any notifications. All the recent notifications can be seen in your Dashboard or via Telegram, so you can always check the record yourself.

You’ve also left us multiple negative reviews in a short time, but haven’t provided any Submission ID or proof of using our service for us to verify your subscription. Trustpilot has reached out to you on our behalf, and you haven’t replied yet, either by far.

Because of this, we have reason to believe this may be a trolling or competitor review. If you are a genuine customer, please email info@drivebot.co.uk
eith subject [Trustpilot] + Submission ID, and we’ll immediately investigate your case.

Best,
DriveBot Support

It works!

I was really sceptical but within 3 days they've booked a slot at the desired time. I recommend 100%!

Run away, Waste of time and money.

Customer service is terrible. There probably isn't a team in the UK. Waiting for a long time for a reply.

I received the email for automatically booked that notice me just 16 hours before my exam time/date. I was shocked that the company didn't let me know before test at least 1day. I have to cancel the exam without a refund. I’m very disappointed with DriveBot service.

** I paid and waited for the booking more than 1 month and then when they booked for me it’s absolutely ridiculous!**

***After I lost the money for DriveBot booking I can’t get the refund. DriveBot sent the email on 1 September 7pm for booking next day early morning 8am on 2 September, How’s ridiculous?! *** I lost my slot on December (my first booking) and now new book (pay again) on Next Year February! What you do think?

Hi Sawaros,

Sorry for any inconvenience it may cause.

To clarify, our bot only books dates that fall within the date range you selected. If you don’t want next-day appointments, you can untick that option or adjust your preferences directly in the user centre. By default, the bot will attempt to book any slot within your chosen range. Many learners actually prefer last-minute cancellations (even the next day), which is why the system doesn’t exclude them unless you specify otherwise.

Also, regarding customer support, we strive to respond to every customer as quickly as possible. However, due to the high volume of inquiries, we can only ensure a reply within 1 business day, as stated on our website and in the "Contact Us" section of the dashboard.

We can’t predict your personal availability outside of the information you provide, but if you'd like to book another slot, please email info@drivebot.co.uk with the subject [Trustpilot] + Submission ID. We can help you book another slot at no extra cost as a gesture of goodwill.

Brilliant service

Brilliant service, got a test 8 days after registering, months earlier than originally booked with dvla. Was using Testi for months with no success, and had doubted this website, but I can honestly recommend 100% now.

signed up to drivebot in July and we are still waiting for it to book a test :( Reading the other reviews i thought this was going to be an amazing service but am so disappointed. It keeps nearly booking tests but misses them every time. For the last week it has tried approx 3 a day but always with the same message 'this slot has already been taken, standing by for the next one' so its so disappointing. Not sure why it cant book for us when everyone else seems to have such a good experience? Have emailed them many times but just get automated replies. Such a shame, desperate for a test and was hoping to leave a good review.

Hi there,

Just to clarify—The auto-booking bot tries to grab cancellations within seconds of them appearing, but it usually takes time to grab one, especially at the busiest London centres where thousands of learners are competing at the same time. That’s why you may see the “slot already taken” message.

But the bot is working in the background 24/7 and will continue to attempt every possible opportunity until it books you in. On average, most customers get a slot within 1–4 weeks, but if your preferences are very tight and competitive it can take longer. A helpful tip is to add more test centres and set a wider date range to give the bot more chances to succeed.

Please email info@drivebot.co.uk
with subject [Trustpilot] + Submission ID. We’ll look into your booking status and try our best to assist you to make sure you can get an appointment as soon as we can.

Great service. My son failed test on 20/8, signed up that day and DriveBot found me a test later that day for 9/9. Tried other apps which were double the price and they came up with nothing. Highly recommend. Use the auto book option

Far better than Testi. Excellent app

The system was really easy to use and edit. I used Testi for a while and got loads of cancellations, but they were all gone despite me acting as soon as the emails came through. I changed to Drivebot and got an automatically booked test within 3 days. Vast improvement compared with Testi!

Hi there,

Sorry, this didn’t meet your expectations. It was a bit unfair to claim we don't refund you until you delete the review. Your payment was already refunded at 15:15 on 15 Aug (2 days before this review), and the confirmation email (with proof) has been sent.

Regarding your auto-booking, cancellations are normally booked in seconds; however, we can't guarantee that the bot will successfully grab a slot on the first try. Specifically considering the test centres you chose are amongst the busiest and most competitive in London. But the bot will keep trying every opportunity until it secures one for you. Normally, it takes at least 1-2 weeks; however, if your selection is very tight and competitive, it may take even longer, as we explained in our email.

Normally, it's best to wait patiently until the bot books any, as it takes time. However, if you don't want to wait, we will refund you as promised as well. You've cancelled the service within 1 week, and we've refunded you as you requested.

If have any further questions, please feel free to email info@drivebot.co.uk with subject [Your Submission ID]

Has anyone else had this problem?

Has anyone else had this problem?
It couldn’t get through with my theory pass certificate number so I’ve entered in my booked number hopefully this changes everything

Unfortunately, we are unable to validate the details you provided at signup. Either your Driving License Number, Theory Test Pass Number or your Driving Test Reference Number are incorrect, or you may not have a driving test booked.

You need to have a driving test booked for us to monitor and find earlier test dates for you. Only you can book an initial driving test (no other service can book a driving test for you). If you struggle to find a test locally, you can book a test at any test centre that has tests available in a few months time, then we will monitor to find an earlier test for you at your chosen local test centre and move the test from elsewhere to your chosen test centre.

Hi there,

The message you quoted doesn’t match DriveBot’s workflow, and we can’t find an order under your details. We would never ask customers to pre-book a DVSA test to use our service, while some competitors do, which may be where this came from.

If you believe you are using our service, please email info@drivebot.co.uk with subject [Trustpilot] + your Submission ID so we can look into this quickly. Thanks

Hi their,

As we have in our policy, Auto-Booking refunds are eligible only if no appointment is secured after 7 days. If a booking was made at any point, the service is considered delivered and isn’t refundable.

If 7+ days have passed without a booking, please email info@drivebot.co.uk with the subject' [Trustpilot] + your Submission ID' so we can verify your subscription and issue a refund if eligible after investigation. We can’t locate orders from a Trustpilot name alone, so please do send your submission ID to customer service so we can look into this promptly.

No Success in Booking

Bought this subscription based on all the reviews. It has not worked for us at all! We started off with 4 or 5 centres with all of August selected and nothing came through. We have expanded to 14 Centres and changed the dates to September and still nothing! Plenty of notifications on changes to all these test centres but absolutely zero for us. Very frustrating. We don't want to take a refund and cancel as we need a test! Hopeless situation!

Hi there,

The bot is up and running around the clock. In busy centres, slots can go in seconds, but the bot will keep trying every chance until it books you in. Normally, it takes at least 1 week to secure a slot, FYI.

Please email info@drivebot.co.uk with the subject' [Trustpilot] + Submission ID'. We’ll look into your case and assist as much as possible.

This is based on my personal experience

I just want to leave a review for drivebot because i think in the world of looking for test dates, they were the only once that did not take my money and keep it as theirs. I was desperate, i needed a test date asap for a center that is very very hard to get a date for. After trying many websites(not gonna mention names) I came across Divebot and i was like let me give this a try, why not. I paid £49( automatic service), they said they would refund me if they do not secure my a spot at my test center. I’m sure they tried, they didnt find one for me tho but to be fair i used them for 72 hrs before i found myself a date somewhere else( i paid way more to get one) . But that is not what this review is about. This review is about the fact that, drivebot refunded me my £49 without any hustle after i cancelled their service. Customer services are the best so far in this line of work too. They even reply at 11 pm. They are fantastic. I am vouching for Drivebot👍🏾
