How To Get To Ullapool Test Centre
To reach Ullapool, begin your journey on the A835, the main road that leads directly to the village. If you’re coming from Inverness, follow the A9 northbound and then switch to the A835. The drive is scenic, offering views of the rugged Highlands. Along the way, you’ll pass through picturesque towns like Garve. If you prefer public transportation, take a train from Inverness to Garve or Dingwall, then board a bus operated by Westerbus or Scottish Citylink that heads straight to Ullapool. For those flying in, Inverness Airport is the nearest, with car hire services available. As you near Ullapool, look out for Loch Broom, an impressive sea loch that greets visitors. Make sure to fill up your tank in Inverness or Garve, as fuel stations are scarce. The picturesque route and the quaint village await, perfect for those looking for a slice of Highland beauty. Pack layers, as the weather can change rapidly. Enjoy the adventure to this charming port village.

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.
