How Far in Advance Can You Book a DriveTest Appointment in Ontario?

You can book a DriveTest appointment up to 90 days in advance online at drivetest.ca. Booking early is strongly recommended, especially at busy GTA centres where test slots can fill up weeks ahead. You can also book by phone at 1-888-570-6110.

Key Facts

  • GTA centres often fully booked 4 to 8 weeks out in peak season
  • Early morning and Saturday slots go fastest
  • Smaller centres outside the GTA often have better availability
  • Last-minute cancellations sometimes open slots, but availability is unpredictable

The 90-Day Booking Window

DriveTest allows candidates to book road test appointments up to 90 calendar days in advance. This applies to G1 exit tests (G2 road tests) and G road tests alike. The 90-day window resets daily, meaning new slots for a date 90 days away become available each morning.

Why Booking Early Matters

Popular DriveTest centres, particularly those in the GTA, can fill up quickly. During peak periods such as summer and early fall, it is common for the next available appointment at a busy centre to be 6 to 10 weeks out. Booking as far in advance as possible gives you the most choice in date, time, and centre.

How to Book Your Appointment

The easiest way to book is through the DriveTest website at drivetest.ca. Create or log into your account, select your test type (G2 or G), choose a centre, and pick from available time slots. Payment is required at the time of booking. You can also call 1-888-570-6110 to book by phone, though online booking is generally faster.

What to Do If There Are No Nearby Slots

If your preferred centre has no available dates within a reasonable timeframe, you have a few options. Check neighbouring centres for earlier availability. Check back regularly as cancellations do open up slots. Alternatively, consider centres in smaller cities that are often less booked. Use the time to continue practicing so you are fully prepared whenever your date arrives.
