What Is the DriveTest Cancellation Fee in Ontario?

DriveTest Ontario requires that any cancellation or reschedule request be made at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time. If you cancel or do not show up with less than 48 hours notice, you forfeit the rescheduling fee of $53.75. The appointment slot is lost and you pay for nothing.

If you cancel your road test more than 48 hours before the appointment, no fee is charged and your prepaid amount is credited or refunded. You can then rebook at your convenience. This gives drivers flexibility to reschedule without penalty if plans change well in advance.

Cancellations and reschedules can be made online at the DriveTest website, by phone to the DriveTest customer service line, or in person at a DriveTest centre. Online cancellation is the fastest method and provides a confirmation. Make sure to cancel with enough time to spare, as the 48-hour window is calculated from the exact appointment time, not just the date.

To understand the cancellation fee in context, it helps to know the full fee structure. The G1 licence fee of $159.75 includes one G2 road test attempt. If you need to rebook (because you cancelled, failed, or your G1 expired and you need to restart), the standalone road test booking fee is $53.75 for a G2 test and $91.25 for a G road test. The cancellation fee forfeited is the rescheduling fee.

Set a calendar reminder for 72 hours before your test date so you have time to act if something comes up. If you fall ill or have an emergency, contact DriveTest as soon as possible and ask about their exception process. Having your confirmation number handy speeds up any cancellation or reschedule request. Booking lessons close to your test date helps build confidence and reduces the temptation to cancel out of anxiety.
