Test centre address: Carrick Buildings Learning Centre, Henrietta Street, Girvan, South Ayrshire KA26 9AL
Girvan's driving tests run from the Carrick Buildings on Henrietta Street, the main road through the town near the seafront. It's one of the smallest centres in the country, and learners come from Girvan, Maybole, Ballantrae, Barr, Dailly, Turnberry, Kirkoswald and Colmonell.
Only 250 car tests were taken there in a year, and it has one of the highest pass rates anywhere: 72%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 13 weeks booking on your own. Ayr is about 19 miles away and Stranraer about 24.
How long is the wait at Girvan driving test centre?
If you book at Girvan on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 13 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.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
