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

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I generally don't leave reviews (especially not positive ones) but I wanted to share me experience.
We had a test booked for a test centre 300 miles away for January. After many Monday mornings of being online waiting that was the best I could do. I regularly checked for cancellations. Then managed to get one for my local centre but for February which I took.
I researched and chose Drivebot due to the money back guarantee. I screenshot it and used my credit card to pay as decided I've do a chargeback if it wasn't legit. I needn't have worried. I saw the notifications when I logged in on the user dashboard and could see it was working away in the background.
Yesterday at around 3pm I got an email to say we had an appointment at my local centre - the only one I selected - for this morning. So barely 20 hours notice but worked for us. My daughter took it and passed today.
I am so happy as her learner insurance was about to run out and would need a lot more spending than the cost of Drivebot. She is so happy as she only turned 17 4 months ago and has now passed before all her older friends who are still waiting on tests.
Wow! Amazing!
My son failed his test 5 times, so we had an incredibly stressful time! DriveBot was totally AMAZING over this time. Whenever he failed another test, I logged onto DriveBot and registered for a test at our local centre. DriveBot never failed to come up with a test within two weeks! And when a test is booked by them, it is done directly with DVSA, so the email confirmation from DVSA comes straight through. Honestly, he would never have managed to pass his test by his deadline for work without DriveBot. It cost us a fortune! But it was completely worth it for us. Definitely do the most expensive option of £111 (this does include the test fee of about £60). Thank you DriveBot! I have to say I don’t think there is a single human involved in this, but it still works!
Best app!!
This is 2nd time using drive bot they sorted me a test for January in my chosen test centre after me having to book one other end of country I paid for auto book again to see if anything popped up before January they have booked me new test for next week couldn’t be happier with the service.Thank you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Simply Unbelievable!
I couldn’t believe it that just took a few hours to get another test booked. Drive bot still remains numero uno. Kudos
First time with Drivebot
Signed up for autobooking and received a test date at my chosen centre very quickly. Absolutely no chance of getting a test through DVSA site. Passed this week. Thanks!
Great service
Great service, I have received a test date for next week in the test centre I wanted. My original test date was middle of January in a different test centre.
All in all I am happy with the service & would recommend DriveBot!
Works really well
Was a bit skeptical at first but gave it a try and went for autobooking. I had a test booked buthe test centre was way too far away. Within a week and after 5-6 failed attempts it succeeded in getting me a test with my local centre. Very impressed, well worth the £49 to avoid using the dvsa website.
This is Fake and scam......
This is Fake and scam....... I paid for the automatic booking service, but none of it works — the Telegram bot just keeps repeating the same messages over and over. The whole setup feels fake and like a scam. They also seem to keep adding fake positive reviews to bury the genuine negative ones, so please read those before wasting your money.
And please don’t reply with the usual computer-generated response claiming you’ve sent “millions of notifications” or “tried to contact me multiple times” — that’s simply not true. I emailed to claim my refund under the “7-day money-back guarantee” and was told to use the refund portal on their website, which doesn’t work at all.
Don’t waste your money — this service is fake and a scam.

Test date secured within 24 hours
Was sceptical when signed up but so impressed. Needed a test date in near future after a recent test fail. Signed up and the following morning a test was secured.
Would definitely recommend
Would definitely recommend, does exactly what they promise. I gave them a time frame and within two weeks they found me a test date, and we all know how difficult it is at this time.
Brilliant service and customer support
Brilliant service - have used 4 times now and each time DriveBot have delivered. My son added a wrong date and after some online chats their customer service team rectified and were quick and efficient. Highly recommend.
Auto-booked in 6 hours.
Obviously frustrated that this is necessary but when we couldn't even get onto the website to change a test, we gritted our teeth and paid for the premium drivebot autobooking service. Within 6 or so hours it had booked us a test in one of our chosen 5 test centres. The test is a long time off so it's good that we have a couple more drivebot rebookings to try to move it nearer.
Cheap and reliable
Cheap and reliable, found me a test in about two weeks, with 1 week notice, in the dates i selected!
Note: I gave it a small window (range of dates) to find me a test, it should be faster the larger the window is.
In summary:
Great service, easy app to use, and good customer service. For 50£ this is a bargain compared to other dodgy WhatsApp groups that want 200£ for a test.
We've used this service twice now
We've used this service twice now. We used the booking service where it looked and booked us.
The 1st time was a last minute cancellation and booked within 3 days (26/09)
The 2nd time looked and booked for today (24/10) so 4 weeks later we could have tried to change it but tests come up few and far between so we were just happy to take this one and it was a pass 😁

Took a month to get the slot but we had restricted the search to one test centre. Got a cancellation for a next day slot after 4 weeks (vs her mid Mar 2026 test date) and she passed. Very happy customer.

Around 9pm, I received a phone call and a message my test has been booked, even though it's been booked 8 days earlier lol, I'm still satisfied. Didn't expect it to work, but glad it did. Thanks.
