PartnershipNeed a sooner test date? We've partnered with SlotSwap.
Waiting weeks or even months for a practical test slot is frustrating. That's why we've partnered with SlotSwap — a swap-matching service that pairs you with another learner whose test date works better for you. You both agree, share booking references, and one phone call to the DVSA swaps your slots.
List your test
Enter your current centre, date, time and transmission. Tell SlotSwap what swaps you'd accept — earlier, later, or which other centres work for you.
We match you
Every five minutes SlotSwap scans for someone whose date works for you and whose preferences fit your slot. When a match is found, both of you get an email.
Call DVSA to confirm
Both of you click "agree" within 24 hours. SlotSwap shares booking references, then one of you calls 0300 200 1122 — the swap is done in a single phone call.
Free during launch
Pay nothing when you sign up. Pay nothing when you match. Pay nothing when you swap. Join during launch and you keep £0 forever — no card on file, ever.
- Unlimited swap matches
- Email alerts the second a match is found
- Booking references encrypted until both parties agree
- 24h window to agree, with no penalty if you don't
Built for the realities of the DVSA queue
SlotSwap is designed around how the DVSA test system actually works.
Matching every 5 minutes
The engine sweeps the pool every five minutes, so swaps move at the speed of the queue, not a daily batch.
Biggest UK pool
SlotSwap matches across every DVSA practical centre in the UK — not just London or the south-east.
Safe & legal
The actual swap happens on the DVSA's own phone line, by you. SlotSwap never touches your booking. No grey area.
Instant email alerts
The moment a compatible learner appears, both of you get an email. You don't have to refresh anything.
