The short answer is no, you can’t, but all is not lost. Read on for some possible alternatives if you need a car for a driving test.
No, this is not possible, as major rental companies only authorise fully licensed drivers aged 21 years or over to drive their vehicles. Usually, this option won’t work if you are under 21, and you hold only a learner’s permit or provisional licence.
VroomVroomVroom has two suggestions if you are unable to rent a car for your driving test — you can borrow a car from someone else, or you can look for a driving school that can supply a vehicle to do the test in.
When borrowing a vehicle from your friend, family member or someone else, make sure to review the checklist below before you go on your road test.
The vehicle must be registered.
The vehicle must have insurance.
The vehicle must have licence plates.
The vehicle must meet all required safety regulations.
In case you can’t borrow a car from anyone, call your nearest driving school and ask if one of their vehicles are available to be hired for your driving test.
