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.
Great service
Great service! My original date was in March, next year. Paid for it, three days later got a new booking that’s now two weeks away
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.

So easy to use.just pay and wait..if you can have patience this really works.amazing service. Well worth the fee
So much exited
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

I was searching for date long time for my husband and frustrated, then I got information about drive bot through Google.. I got date faster than I expected. Thankyou drive bot team
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.
It's worth the moneIt's worth the money !y !!!
It's worth the money !!!! They found me an available test earlier than the one I scheduled and even in my city! Wonderful.
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.

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

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
Great service
Great service, had a test booked 6 days after signing up.
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.
