What happens if you cancel or the DVSA cancels on you — and how to get your fee back.
Cancellation rules are strict and catching learners out costs them the full test fee. Understand the rules before you need them.
You must cancel or change your test at least 3 clear working days before the test date to get a full refund. "Clear working days" means weekdays only, not counting the test day itself or weekends. Example: if your test is on Friday, you must cancel by midnight on Monday (3 clear working days = Tue, Wed, Thu).
If you have a test date but want an earlier slot, TestSwap matches you with someone who needs your date.
