Driving test fees if you need to take a retest

If you don't pass your theory or practical test, and want to take another test, you'll have to pay again.

You have to pay the full amount for any retests that you take - DSA doesn't give discounts for retests.

Use Directgov to book your driving test

Directgov is the only official driving test booking website.

Other websites offer driving test booking services, but might charge extra administrative fees on top of the DSA fee. This is why the fees shown on some websites are more than the amounts shown on this page. Those websites are not run by or connected to Directgov or DSA.

DSA recommends that all learner drivers book their driving test through the official booking service on Directgov.

If you have used an unofficial booking website

DSA gets complaints from customers who have used unofficial booking websites. In most cases these websites are doing nothing illegal. This means that DSA’s powers to respond may be limited.

If you have used an unofficial booking website, you might have seven working days to cancel your order and get all your money back. However, this will depend on the terms and conditions of the website you used.

You can find more information about your consumer rights on Directgov. You can also use template letters to complain to businesses. Each letter includes details of the law that you want the trader to follow.
