Manage your booking
How to reschedule or cancel your driving test booking.
You can reschedule or cancel your driving test by logging in to MyRoadSafety.ie and going to the 'My bookings' page where you will see your current appointment details. Our customer care agents can't manage bookings over the phone or by email so this must be done directly through your MyRoadSafety account.
Test slots are very limited and so it's important to pick a date and time that suits you when booking your appointment. However, we understand that unforeseen events occur so you do have the option to reschedule your driving test for free up to two times. If you need to reschedule or cancel, it’s really important to do it as soon as possible so we can offer the slot to someone who urgently needs a test.
How to reschedule your driving test
Once your test date is more than 10 days away, you can reschedule twice without losing your fee.
To reschedule your driving test
- Go to the 'My bookings' page of your MyRoadSafety account.

If there are no suitable slots available, click the 'Cancel booking' button.
When new driving test slots become available, we will email you another invite and you can log into MyRoadSafety to book another driving test for free. You won't lose your place in the queue.
If you reschedule for a third time or within 10 days of your appointment, you will lose your fee and have to apply and pay for a new test.
