Some pupils are being caught out & are paying a company an additional £10 to book their Theory Test!!

It has come to the attention of one of Txt-Drive’s driving instructors that some pupils are paying an additional fee for a company to book a Theory Test on their behalf.

The current price for a Car Theory Test is £31 (February 2010). Some pupils have been paying £40 to book the Theory Test!! This is about 30% more expensive & is TOTALLY UNECESSARY!!

When you book a Theory Test via the Direct.gov.uk website (http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Motoringtransactions/DG_066356) you can select the location, date & time of the Theory Test at the time you book the test on the website. Apparently some of these websites which book a Theory Test on your behalf won’t tell you the location, date & time of the Theory Test straight away.

We have heard of two pupils that have spent £45 between them in unnecessary booking fees.

The pupils had Googled ‘book theory test’ & did not realise that the website they were using were charging £9 just to book the Theory Test for them – something they could have done themselves for FREE.

Ensure you use the correct website to book your Theory Test & Practical Test. Links to the correct (FREE) websites can be found on the Txt-Drive website.

Theory Test : http://www.txt-drive.co.uk/theory-test.shtml

Practical Test :  http://www.txt-drive.co.uk/practical-test.shtml

If you are unsure please check with your driving instructor before you book your tests.

We hope this will help more pupils to avoid paying some unnecessary booking fees.
