Test centre address: 6-10 Adelaide Street, Luton, Bedfordshire LU1 5BT
Luton's driving test centre is right in the town centre on Adelaide Street, just off the A505. A lot of learners from Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis take their test here.
It's not one of the biggest centres, with 7,759 car tests in a year, but it is one of the tougher ones to pass at. Its pass rate is 39.2%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
If Luton is booked up, the nearest other centres are Leighton Buzzard, Stevenage and St Albans, each about 9 miles away. You can see how they compare further down.
How long is the wait at Luton driving test centre?
If you book at Luton on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 20 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. 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.
