Test centre address: 4 Longman Drive, Inverness IV1 1SU
Inverness's car driving test centre is on Longman Drive, in the harbour and industrial area by the Kessock Bridge rather than the city centre. Learners come from Inverness, Nairn, Culloden, Beauly, Muir of Ord, Dingwall, the Black Isle, Drumnadrochit and Ardersier, and some travel from much further because the wait is short.
3,252 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the harder centres to pass at: 45.8%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 20.4 weeks booking on your own. Alness is about 14 miles away.
How long is the wait at Inverness driving test centre?
If you book at Inverness on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 20.4 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.
