Test centre address: Fishermen's Mission, Custom House, 1 Quay Street, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis HS1 2XX
Stornoway's driving tests run from the Fishermen's Mission at Custom House on Quay Street, by the harbour. It's the only car test centre on Lewis and Harris, and learners come from Stornoway, Back, Ness, Barvas, Carloway, Tarbert and Leverburgh.
344 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the best centres in the country to pass at: 66.6%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 15 weeks booking on your own. The next nearest centres are Benbecula and, on the mainland, Ullapool by ferry.
How long is the wait at Stornoway driving test centre?
If you book at Stornoway on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 15 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.
