Test centre address: Cameron House, Albany Street, Oban, Argyll PA34 4AE
Oban's driving test centre is at Cameron House on Albany Street, the government office building in the town centre. It's a small centre, and learners come from Oban, Dunbeg, Connel, Benderloch, Taynuilt, Seil, Appin, Dalmally and Lismore, and from Mull by ferry.
322 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the best centres in the country to pass at: 66.1%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The nearest other centres are Inveraray and Lochgilphead, each about 37 or 38 miles away, and Mull across the ferry.
How long is the wait at Oban driving test centre?
If you book at Oban 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.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
