Driving Theory Test Centres in Hull

Arriving at Hull Theory Test Centre

By public transport

As it’s right in the city centre, getting to your test should be quite easy, even if you don’t have a car. If you’re taking the train, it’s only a 4-minute walk from Hull train station to the test centre. That’s less than half a mile!

Fancy taking the bus instead? You won’t be short of options. The closest stop to the centre is Prospect Street. This is just a 1-minute walk to the test centre, so you don't have far to go.

To get more information on transport in Hull, like timetables and routes, head over to the Hull City Council website.

By car

If you’re ditching the public transport option and travelling by car, it couldn’t be simpler. Type HU2 8PX into your sat nav and follow the directions. You’ll eventually find yourself on either the A165, Ferensway or A63 (maybe even all three!)—making your way to Prospect Street from these major roads shouldn’t take too long.  

Parking

The bad news is that there’s no parking available at the centre itself (this is quite common with test centres). Not to worry, however—there are some great options very close by. You can try Pryme Street car park first, from which it is a very quick 3-minute walk to your test. It’s a reasonable £3 for 2 hours of parking. Alternatively, you could also try St Stephen's car park. It’s a 7-minute walk from the test centre and charges just £2 for 2 hours!

Pass Rates by Year

Hull theory test centre’s pass rate has always been fairly high, though as you can see, in the last few years it has dipped just below the national average. Don’t use these rates as an indication of how well you are likely to do in the theory test if you choose to take it here. The test is exactly the same no matter where in the country you take it, so the end result is down to you!

Guides and Tips

Studying seriously for your theory test is the best way to ensure a pass. You don’t have to do it all alone, though—there are plenty of helpful resources out there to make the learning process easier. We highly recommend making use of revision tools and study aids. Here are a few great options:

Hotels

Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the best ways to set yourself up for a successful test day. A rested head is usually a clear head, after all! If you’re not from the Hull area and are worried about spending the morning of your test rushing around in an attempt to not be late, it might be an idea to spend the night before your test in one of Hull’s many hotels. We’ve scoured the area and picked out a few of the best options. Check them out below.

Holiday Inn Express Hull City Centre★★★☆☆

For a one night stay, you can’t go far wrong with a Holiday Inn. With free Wifi, plush bedding and satellite TV in every room, you’ll have everything you need for a fun and relaxed evening. Plus, some breakfast options are included, so in the morning you can fuel up for the test without breaking the bank. Win!

The White Hart Hotel★★★☆☆

If you fancy something with more of a local touch, give The White Hart a go. This recently refurbished pre-war pub has 5 tastefully decorated rooms that all include free WiFi. Pop down to the pub itself for a cheeky tipple and maybe even a nice meal, before heading up to your room to catch some shut eye. Everything you need is under one roof.

Ibis Hull City Centre Hotel★★☆☆☆

Those who are watching the pennies might prefer to opt for the budget-friendly Ibis. They provide clean, comfortable rooms at a bargain price. Close to a range of shops and bars, you certainly won’t be short of things to do. If you prefer staying in to going out, you also have the option of the on-site bar.
