Interested in how Fast Pass works? We created this page to help you understand our service in more detail.
Our service has been designed to be simple and risk-free. There are four key steps:
Sign up
Create an account and let us know your test preferences.
Browse
Browse available swaps and match with other learners.
Swap
Perform the swap with the DVSA through our app.
Confirm
Receive the official DVSA confirmation instantly!
When you sign up, we ask a few questions to help us find you the most relevant driving tests:
After you have signed up, we will start searching for matching slots on your behalf. Once we find a match, we will send you a text on Whatsapp!
This can vary depending on your chosen test centres and how strict your preferences are. However, many of our customers find a cancellation within two weeks!
We don't buy and resell appointments like some shady service providers do. We find and book cancellations for our customers the moment they arrive.
People cancel their driving tests all the time for many reasons, such as when doctor's appointments or work commitments overlap, or for other reasons such as last-minute nerves.
When we find a cancellation that you want, we reserve it for you as quickly as we can and send you a notification. The DVSA only lets us reserve slots for 15 minutes – so we ask you to respond to our texts within 10. We need those extra few minutes to complete the booking, verify your payment and also to account for delays in notification delivery.
If no booking is made, we release the reservation, making it available for other candidates to reserve.
If you are happy with the slot we found you, you can complete the booking on our website. If you provided your licence number during your account setup, reserving your slot is just a click away. Otherwise, have your licence number ready, as we will need this to make your booking!
We process online payments securely with Stripe, and accept all major payment methods such as Apple Pay, PayPal, Google Pay, and Klarna.
As soon as we receive your payment, we will begin the booking process. You will receive a confirmation email and text within 1-10 minutes, including the official booking confirmation from the DVSA. Your booking details will also be available to view on our website. Done!
If you know exactly when you want to take your driving test, then we recommend enabling auto-booking!
It's free to upgrade – when you enable auto-booking, you will be prioritised and booked automatically when we find a slot that matches your preferences!
Users with auto-booking activated don't need to worry about responding quickly to notifications – bookings are made automatically!
Sometimes, we find slots early in the morning or late at night – it can be disappointing if you see a notification from us but you opened it too late. That's why we added this feature to our website!
If you want to enable auto-booking, all we ask is that you ensure your search preferences are up-to-date and accurate. You need to check with your instructor to ensure they will be available for the dates and test centres you search for.
To allow us to take the payment automatically, you will also need to set up a payment method beforehand. This information will be stored securely with our payment processor, Stripe.
No card details required. Instant results. Pay only when you accept a match.
START SEARCHING FOR FREEOur service helps you match with other learners who are looking to swap their test with you. This allows you to quickly find a more suitable test, whether if it is an earlier slot, a later slot, or one at a different test centre.
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!
Yes. You need to have an existing booking with the DVSA to use our service. You can't swap a test without having one to offer in the first place.
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.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many candidates have been waiting up to 6 months for a driving test at their local test centre.
