Some of the services offered by Fast Pass were impacted by the new DVSA rules which came into force in May 2026. This article covers the changes in detail.
On 27 April 2026, a new UK law came into force restricting the booking and management of driving tests to learners themselves. On 12 May 2026, the DVSA website was updated to reflect the new rules.
To remain compliant with UK law, we can no longer offer our cancellation finding service to learners. We apologise if this is disappointing news to you. This includes searching, reserving and booking slots on behalf of candidates. All learners must now search and book manually on the DVSA website. No third party apps or booking sites can offer these services legitimately under these new booking rules.
Fortunately, in anticipation of these changes, we've launched a new swap service that matches learners holding existing bookings with others looking for a better slot. Thanks to our existing user base, thousands of slots are already up for swap. Just enter your current booking details and we'll instantly show you matching slots at your chosen test centres. This service is not impacted by the new rules, since we do not interact with the DVSA on your behalf. We simply match you with other candidates and guide you along the process of performing the swap with the DVSA - something you now need to do yourself.

Existing bookings will not be impacted, as they were made before the changes in legislation were put into force. Users can still contact us for a refund for cancelled bookings (subject to our refund policy).
No card details required. Instant results. Pay only when you accept a match.

Previously, we were able to search and automatically book cancellations on your behalf. However, due to new regulations, we are no longer able to offer this service.
Fast Pass has been helping learners with their driving tests since 2024 and has a proven track record of success and trustworthiness.
Most services charge up-front, and once they have your money, they don't have any incentive to find you a booking. We think that's wrong, and that's why we don't charge anything up-front. You only pay us once you find a booking you want. When it comes to refunds, we are the most generous in this space.
We also have a responsive support team that you can contact at any time – either by email or through the chat widget on our site. You can also check out our amazing reviews on Trustpilot here – we're rated 'Excellent' for a reason!

We charge £19.99 per swap. You need to have an existing booking with the DVSA to use our service.
In most cases, we will refund you the full amount if the swap fails and there was no fault on your part.
Please see our refund policy for more information.
You can view available matches instantly. Whilst there is usually always something available, if there are no matches, we recommend checking every couple of days as new swap requests appear frequently.
We take your privacy seriously – we are GDPR compliant and will never sell your data. More specifically, we will never use your licence number to make unauthorised bookings, like many other services do.
