Wait times for driver licence tests have increased since NZTA Waka Kotahi changed the fees, so make sure you prepare well for your driver licence test. If you don't pass, you may need to wait a while to get another slot. If you get a test booking and can't use it, please make sure you cancel. Even an hour's notice will mean someone else can use the slot.
To help you prepare for your driver licence tests, please see the resources and training offered by AA Driving School.
