Practical test centre in Remote
Remote is the name LPOD Academy uses for the DVSA test centre based on Upper Eastern Green Lane in Coventry, and it is a genuine bricks-and-mortar site rather than an online or video appointment. Learners testing here come from across the city and the wider West Midlands, so routes cover both residential Coventry streets and busier roads leading out towards the ring road. Because the area mixes quiet estates with faster through-roads, candidates benefit from practising both styles of driving before test day rather than specialising in one or the other. The test format itself never changes between centres: an eyesight check and two vehicle questions come first, followed by general driving, an independent driving section, and often a manoeuvre before you head back to the centre.

Practical Test Centre Address
DVSA Test Centre, Upper Eastern Green Lane, Coventry, CV5 7LG. Toilets are available on site, along with parking and full disabled access. Car, motorcycle and lorry tests are all conducted from this address, so the waiting room can include a mix of learners and vocational drivers on any given day. Bring your provisional licence and booking confirmation with you, as staff cannot proceed with the appointment without seeing both. The DVSA fee for a car test is £62 on a weekday, and it is paid at the point of booking rather than on the day itself, so there is nothing extra to settle when you arrive. Candidates working through LPOD Academy Bronze 15 or LPOD Academy Silver 20 usually cover the local Eastern Green roads directly during their course, so the drive to the test centre itself is not the first time they have used them, and a mock test towards the end of the course mirrors the real appointment closely.
How to Get to the Remote (Coventry) Test Centre Test Centre
Coventry sits at the meeting point of the M6, M69 and A45, all of which feed into the city’s ring road system, and Upper Eastern Green Lane is reached from the western side of the city via the A45 Birmingham Road and the local Eastern Green residential roads. Coventry railway station has mainline services from London and Birmingham, and from the station a local bus or taxi is the most reliable way to reach the test centre, since it sits some distance from the city centre itself.
Once you are on the Eastern Green side of the city, expect narrower residential streets with parked cars on both sides, which is exactly the kind of observation and positioning practice a test route in this area draws on, alongside busier stretches nearer the A45 and the ring road for roundabout and lane-change practice. LPOD Academy Bronze 15 and LPOD Academy Silver 20 both build that route knowledge into the course itself, and our how our intensive courses work explains how an intensive course fits around a test date booked at this centre, from theory preparation right through to the mock test in the final days.
Plan to arrive at Upper Eastern Green Lane in good time, since parking near residential test centres can be tighter than at purpose-built sites. Take your provisional licence every time, and remember that from 12 May 2026 the DVSA requires the candidate to book and manage their own practical test directly, rather than through an instructor or third party. If the result is a pass, you will be given a pass certificate before you leave the building.
Because Upper Eastern Green Lane sits away from the city centre, some candidates ask their instructor to join the car as an observer for reassurance, and the DVSA allows this as standard practice. A retest after an unsuccessful attempt cannot be booked for at least ten working days, and the transmission used on the day matters afterwards too, since an automatic pass restricts the licence to automatics only. Learners bringing their own vehicle to Coventry rather than a dual-control car need it insured, taxed and correctly signed with L plates.

Why Book With LPOD Academy?
Can LPOD book my practical test at this centre for me?
No. Since 12 May 2026, only you can book, change or manage your DVSA practical test. LPOD provides test date support instead: centre and timing guidance as standard, plus an optional Test Alerts + Booking Strategy add-on (£50) if you’d like us actively watching for earlier dates and helping you plan around them.
Which course should I choose before my test?
It depends on your experience. Complete beginners usually start with a Gold or Platinum course, while learners who have already had lessons or sat a test before often suit a Silver or Bronze course. Try our course recommendation tool for a personal suggestion.
Are LPOD instructors qualified?
Yes. Every LPOD instructor is a DVSA-approved ADI, paid full market rates, so you get a properly qualified instructor rather than the cheapest bidder.
