Driving Test Day Car Hire

The driving test is one of the significant milestones in your learning pathway, and being as ready as possible on the day itself will make a big difference to you. Our EA Driving School Driving Test Day Car Hire service has been designed to enable support, comfort, and confidence in you, so you can just focus on being your best.

Using your instructor’s dual-controlled car, you will arrive at the test centre knowing how the car works, which can help alleviate stress, uncertainty and provide a normalised driving experience from beginning to end.

Every booking includes a pre-test warm-up, so you can allow yourself to reacquaint yourself with what you have already been taught, allowing you to control your nerves and enter the right frame of mind when meeting the examiner. Our DVSA-approved instructors ensure that you feel ready, steady and supported throughout your lesson and exams.

At EA Driving School, we believe the correct rehearsal when you have a test converts stress into confidence, so you walk in calm and walk out proud.

What to Expect?

Our Driving Test Day Car Hire provides everything you need to feel confident and safe before, during, and after the test:

Familiar Vehicle Comfort

Your Driving Test Day Car Hire will be the same dual-controlled instructor car you have been using for your lessons, in your own testing, right down to monitoring the on-road driving experience.

Pre-Test Warm-Up Drive

You will have time before the official test to practice the key driving manoeuvres, recap your knowledge of the road, and calm any nerves you have before your official test.

Professional Support

Your DVSA-approved instructor will guide you through what happens on the day of your test, from the moment you arrive and wait at the centre to the time you meet the examiner.

Understanding the expectations of your examiner

You will gain a greater insight into what the examiner will be looking for, how decisions are made, the examiner’s assessment, and how to stay focused during the test.

Safe, Clean and Well-Maintained Car

You will be using a clean, regularly serviced, and fully-operational dual-controlled car that was developed to be reliable, whether during the warm-up or during the test.

Familiarisation with the route (where applicable)

It may be possible to use the warm-up driving session to be on the roads nearby that are regularly used by the local testing centre to enhance your comfort with the testing routes of areas regularly used for testing.

Our overall objective is to create a seamless, relaxed, and confidence-oriented experience from the time you start your warm-up until the time you return safely from the formal test.

Build Genuine Confidence on Test Day

Feeling nervous during your test is normal; however, preparation comes in handy and can change everything. We provide a test-day warm-up session where you can practice the essential skills most learners find difficult under pressure, which include, but are not limited to, judgement, control, awareness, and decision-making.

Your instructor takes you through a short and effective pre-test warm-up session so you can work on staying calm and focus on driving with confidence. This allows you an opportunity to sharpen up your reactions, strengthen the good habits you have formed, and settle into a good pre-test mindset ahead of meeting the examiner.

The reassurance of driving a familiar car also helps with nerves, giving you consistency and stability when taking your test, where you’re going to give it your best performance.

After your warm-up, your instructor will accompany you to the test centre, provide last-minute guidance, and ensure you feel fully prepared before your assessment test and before your test is time to takes place.
