Got banned for 12 months by DVSA for using DriveBot - they detected that the account was using automated software. Now I can't book online for 12 months. AVOID

Amazing
Amazing! Was obviously skeptical but it was worth it. Paid for the auto booking and it got me a test by the next day. Highly recommend:)
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

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?

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.

Great service
Great site, I’ve used it twice for booking my daughter’s driving test and if she fails again, hope not, we’ll be right back using drivebot. We used the automatic booking service, i have no complaints.
Great service
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
Don't respond to my emails
I bought this last night and never got any confirmation id needed to use the system. I have emailed twice and had no response and am fearful I have been scammed of my £49

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!

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.

Signed up for this service after losing patience refreshing website, after a week we had no offers then all of a sudden we got notified of one that the bot did not auto book for us, later that night another one came up and it was automatically booked and worked out for us.
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!

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👍🏾
