Test centre address: Mihol Road, Strath, Gairloch, Ross-shire IV21 2BX
Gairloch's driving tests start from Mihol Road in Strath, at the fire station end near Strath Square. It's one of the smallest centres in the country, and learners come from Gairloch, Poolewe, Aultbea, Laide, Kinlochewe, Torridon and Badachro.
Only 49 car tests were taken there in a year, and it has one of the highest pass rates anywhere: 73.5%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 19.8 weeks booking on your own. Ullapool is about 23 miles away as the crow flies, and a good deal more by road.
How long is the wait at Gairloch driving test centre?
If you book at Gairloch on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 19.8 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.
