Coventry's driving test centre is on the Bayton Road Industrial Estate in Exhall, just north of the city near Bedworth. It's the local centre for learners in Coventry, Bedworth and Exhall.
13,771 car tests were taken there in a year, making it the 19th busiest of around 320 centres. Its pass rate is 40%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
Nuneaton is about 4 miles away and Hinckley about 6 and a half, if you can travel a little. You can see how they compare further down.
How long is the wait at Coventry driving test centre?
If you book at Coventry on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That's about the same as most test centres.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. Earlier dates come free as driving test cancellations, when other learners move or cancel theirs, and we watch for them on your behalf. 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.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
