Car for Driving Test in Brentwood
The DVSA sends an email confirmation to all learner drivers that apply for a practical test at the Brentwood Driving Test Centre. This email contains vital information but unfortunately, many learners do not read even read this important email. The emails state that the test candidate must bring their UK learners driving licence, theory pass certificate and a car.
Using the Driving Examiners Car for the Test
Every single week, someone turns up for their practical test at Brentwood, without a car. The driving examiner will walk into the waiting room, call out their name, check their documents and then ask them to lead the way to their car. If they have no car to lead them to, the test can not continue. The driving examiners at Brentwood nor the DVSA will allow the learner driver to borrow or hire out the cars.
Using a Driving Instructors Car at Brentwood
If you have been learning to drive from the very beginning from the same instructor, you will not have to worry about hiring a car for your driving test. However, you are advised to check the pricing with your instructor at the earliest opportunity. The 2 or 3 hours spent on the day of the driving test is not charged at normal lesson prices but at a premium rate. If you have changed driving instructors or driving schools recently, you should inform them of your driving test, the same day it is booked. Most instructors book driving test slots months in advance.
Car Rental Companies at Brentwood
There are many car rental companies in Brentwood and throughout the London area. Although they are prepared to hire a car to international drivers, these cars can not be used in the driving test. Any rental car must be fitted with dual controls.
Using your own Car for the Driving Test
Learner drivers may use their own car, if they have one, for the test at Brentwood. They can also borrow a car from a friend or family member if they wish. Personal cars do not need to be fitted with dual controls but must be fitted with an extra interior mirror for the examiner use. The examiner will check the car to make sure it is road worthy. Particular attention must be drawn to tyres, lights, wipers, horn, demisters, heating controls and the head restraints.
