Test-Day Car Hire Terms

Last updated 24 September 2026

For our vehicle hire agreement terms (dual-control and longer hires), see the agreement you sign as part of that booking.

Who you're booking with

RDS HUB LTD, company number 16285288, trading address 6 Exeter Place, Walsall WS2 9UQ.

One quote per person

Your first quote is your price. We don't move the price once it's been given to you for the same test booking — if your test is genuinely rescheduled or the details you gave us change, call or WhatsApp us on 07925 629 065 and we'll requote.

Pricing

Fixed centres — £180 all-in at Wolverhampton, Wednesbury and Featherstone test centres. Car, fuel and a qualified accompanying driver are included.
Other centres — £250 minimum total. Priced as £180 + travel by real driving distance from our Walsall base, with a £250 minimum total applied.
Peak slot — +£50. Applies to early-morning or rush-hour test times.
Short-notice fee if your test is 7 days away or less: +£80 if your test is 0–1 days away, +£60 if it's 2–7 days away.
Extended test — +£60. Applies if you've been ordered to retake an extended (~70 minute) test.

Your exact total is shown on screen before you submit your enquiry, and confirmed on your invoice.

Cancellation & no-show

If you miss your slot, cancel late, or arrive too late for us to proceed, the fee is non-refundable — by the time of your test we've already committed the vehicle, the accompanying driver and the time slot to you.

If DVSA cancels or terminates your test

If the DVSA cancels, postpones or moves your test through no fault of yours, we'll work with you to rearrange your hire where we can. If the DVSA terminates, fails, or refuses to proceed with your test because of your own conduct, lateness, fitness to drive, or a document you failed to bring or disclose, that is your loss and the fee is non-refundable.

Documents you must bring

You must hold a valid provisional (or full) driving licence appropriate to your test, and bring it — along with your DVSA test confirmation and any other required documents — to your test day. We may ask to see these before your warm-up hour.

Fitness to drive & conduct

You must be fit to drive on the day: properly rested and not impaired by alcohol, drugs or medication, with eyesight meeting the DVSA standard. Our car and accompanying driver are provided for your warm-up hour and test; you're responsible for damage caused by your own negligent, careless or reckless driving, including kerbing tyres, wheels or alloys, and agree to cover the insurance excess and any repair costs not met by insurance.

Complaints

If something's gone wrong, tell us — call, WhatsApp or email. We'll acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days and respond in full within 14 days.
