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

Got me a test within hours

I'd logged on to the DVSA at 5:50am for 3 Mondays in a row and was unable to book a test at my two chosen test centres. I also tried the Testi app (paid version) and it gave me nothing either. So I paid for the DriveBot auto booking service and got a test booked only 3 hours later! Can't fault it.

If I could give it zero

If I could give it zero, I would. Had no notifications in 2 months - absolute joke of an app. Save your money. Went on to DVSA at 5.50am on a Monday morning, waited in the queue and got a test date.

Hi Heidi,

After checking your account, the bot has already sent you 100+ appointment notifications. We noticed that you didn't subscribe to our Telegram channel as instructed. Just so you know, you need to properly subscribe to our Telegram channel to receive notifications.

We have tried multiple times to reach out and offer support, but unfortunately, we haven't gotten a further reply from you.

We'd try our best to settle this for you. Please get in touch with us at info@drivebot.co.uk with the subject of " [Trustpilot] + your Submission ID" , and we’ll be happy to assist you further or provide you with a refund.

So much exited. I had been trying diffrent apps for the booking. I couldn't get it booked for the past 3 months and so.
I just subscribed two weeks ago in drivebot. At the end 2nd week, received the good news. Thanks Drivebot team. Really excited about it.

If I could give them 0 stars I would

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Paid for the automatic booking, couldn’t get the telegram chat to do anything, and had no notifications by SMS. So emailed to claim my refund within the “7 days money back guarantee” and got a response saying you can claim it back through the portal on the website that does absolutely nothing. More clearly a scam. Don’t pay them a penny

Hi Ben,

Sorry for the service does not meet your expectation, I'd like to clarify a few points here:

1. We have tried multiple times to reach out and offer support, but have not received any reply from you.

2. After checking your account, the bot has already sent you 50+ Telegram notifications.

3. Your subscription fee was also refunded quite some time ago (on 25th Sept), with proof sent to your email.

Given this, we don’t understand why you are still calling us a scam, or what your claim is meant to be. If this review was left maliciously, we kindly ask you to remove it. If you are a genuine customer, please contact us at info@drivebot.co.uk
with your Submission ID and we’ll be happy to assist you further.

Worked well for me twice!

I’ve had to use this service twice and it has worked well both times. We managed to get a date within a week both times so my experience has been a very good one. Thank you! 👏

Drivebot got it done.

Had concerns regarding the 6 month delay in getting a test booked for my son. Eventually booking one 5 months from passing theory test. Was not happy so turned to Drivebot. Gave them dates available and hey presto got new date 4 week away. Great service what more can I say. Think of the cost of on-going lessons to keep driving skills upto date, its a no brainer. Thanks guys.

Drivebot is the best in town

Drivebot allowed me to secure driving test slots at the desired test locations and time frame efficiently. It also shows which test centres in your area and beyond with higher pass rate. This piece of information was very helpful in getting my wife pass. I definitely recommend

Refunds.


Subject: Request for Refund and Subscription Cancellation

Dear support team,

I am writing to request a refund and cancellation of my subscription.

I purchased the app last week and soon realized several issues that were not made clear before purchase:

The app does not allow me to choose my preferred test centre for cancellations.

There was no information provided that bookings could be made with less than 24 hours’ notice, which makes it impossible to cancel or change, hence automatically loss of DVLA fees.

A booking was made outside my test range and with less than 18 hours’ notice, which caused me to lose my DVLA fees.

Given these circumstances, I kindly ask for:

1. A full refund of my subscription.

2. A refund of the DVLA fees lost due to the irregular booking.

I believe this situation arises from shortcomings in how the service operates, and I trust you will treat this request with fairness and understanding.

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your confirmation.

Hi there,

Thanks for your message. I’d like to clarify a few points regarding your concerns:

1. "You can't choose test centres that you wanted" – All centres in your subscription were the ones you personally selected during setup. You can edit/change them anytime in your Dashboard too. We’ve never seen a case where a centre couldn’t be selected, nor did you tell us this issue during our communication, so it’s unclear what you meant by “unable to choose.”

2. "The appointment is booked with short notice." – The bot will auto-book any cancellation that falls inside the date range you set. The appointment date range you chose was already very tight and included the next day. We can’t know in advance whether you are available for those dates unless you tell the system. In fact, in the dashboard, there is a very visible option to rule out next-day appointments based on your needs. In your case, that box was not unticked, so the bot will book any slot as long as it's within your requested range.

Because of this, the subscription worked as designed. We are sorry that we can’t provide a refund as requested. But, as a gesture of goodwill, we’re happy to help you reschedule a new test date for free within your corrected preferences. Please let us know if you need this, and we will assist you as much as we can.

Best,
DriveBot Support

Bought the notification only…

Bought the notification only subscription first, just to see if it is not a scam, was quite impressed, however the moment I upgraded to auto-booking, it went downfall, like on purpose. Today, I have been logged in in the gov site and monitoring slots myself, and surprisingly, there were slots coming up (last minute cancelations), but it didn't have my preferred day. Drive bot didn't catch it and I never received a notification, assuming it is quite a scam. The best way to get a test is literally spend half a day, reloading the page on gov site and hoping for a suitable slot, and obv be quick, these bots are useless in my opinion.

23/09/25 UPDATE
Bot in the end managed to catch a slot, so changing my rating, as it did work. Hope to get another 2 attempts, as stated on the website

Hi Christina,

Sorry for the experience that did not meet your expectations. I'd like to clarify two points:

1. Upgrading to Auto-Booking doesn’t reduce the service—it simply means the bot now both notifies you and auto-books matching slots. The number of alerts you see can vary because DVSA cancellations are different every day; some days there are many, some days very few. If it felt “downhill” after upgrading, that’s just coincidence with a quieter period of cancellations, not a change in how the bot works.

2. As for the slots you saw yourself: the bot won’t grab or alert you if they’re outside the exact date range you selected for our service. The bot will only grab the preferences you set. If you’d like more opportunities, simply widen your date range in your dashboard so the bot has more slots to go after.

Best,
— DriveBot Support

Brilliant service

After feeling so frustrated with the booking system and the delay of booking through dvla and having tried many other cancellation services I found DriveBot. They booked the test from scratch rather than flipping an existing test and got us a test within 10 days! We used the auto booking option. Couldn’t recommend enough in this tricky period of tests being fully booked for the next 6months. Highly recommend

DriveBot have been incredible

DriveBot have been incredible! They helped my son find a test after he turned up for his test and the instructor had not renewed his MOT, so the test was cancelled! We had only a 2 week window to get a re-test before he headed off to Uni....they did it! t
They were amazing! So incredibly helpful and their customer service was brilliant, supportive and reassuring. Can't thank them enough!

No test date secured

Although the "bot" appears to be scanning, no test date was secured and many dates appeared from DVSA. Used Testi instead with instant notifications and managed to book myself. Received refund.

Dear customer,

Refunds are normally processed on our side within 2–3 business days, as we stated in our refund policy. Some banks may show the credit with a slight delay—that’s entirely down to the payment bank you used. We’ve already provided the refund proof on 23 Aug 2025. If needed, please contact your bank to confirm or request that they speed it up.

As for Auto-Booking: the bot does work 24/7 in the background. Missing a few cancellations doesn’t mean it isn’t functioning—it attempts every matching opportunity until it successfully books.

I believe you've received your refund properly by far. If you still don’t see the refund in your account, please email info@drivebot.co.uk
with subject [Trustpilot] + Submission ID, and we will assist you as much as we can.
