Test centre address: Benbecula Airport, Balivanich, Isle of Benbecula HS7 5LW
Benbecula's driving tests start from the airport terminal at Balivanich. It's one of the smallest centres in the country, with tests run in short blocks of a few days in most months when an examiner visits, and it serves the whole chain of islands joined by causeways: Benbecula, North Uist, South Uist, Grimsay and Eriskay.
Only 107 car tests were taken there in a year, and it has one of the highest pass rates anywhere: 72.9%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 15 weeks booking on your own. Stornoway and Barra are the nearest other centres, both by ferry.
How long is the wait at Benbecula driving test centre?
If you book at Benbecula on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 15 weeks away. That's shorter than at most test centres, where it's around 23.4 weeks.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
