Test centre address: 19A Union Street, Greenock, Inverclyde PA16 8DD
Greenock's driving test centre is at 19A Union Street, in a building shared with clinics in Greenock West. Learners come from Greenock, Port Glasgow, Gourock, Inverkip, Wemyss Bay, Kilmacolm and Largs.
3,547 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the hardest centres in the country to pass at: 41.7%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
Dumbarton is about 8 miles away over the Erskine Bridge and Paisley about 14. Dunoon looks close on the map but is across the water.
How long is the wait at Greenock driving test centre?
If you book at Greenock 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. 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.
