Raising Funds for Your Theory Test

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, the journey to achieving a full UK driving licence is a costly process. So, we thought we’d give you some useful ways to raise cash to pay for your theory test. 

If you’re taking your theory test before October 2014 you’ll have to pay £31.00. If you’re fortunate enough to be taking your theory test around October time, you’ll be pleased to know that the fee is set to be reduced to £25.00.

However, for a lot of 17 year-olds £25.00 is still a lot of money so, Book Theory Test Today offers some useful ways to raise a bit of cash to pay for your theory test, and perhaps even a few driving lessons.

The Book Theory Test Today blogger says: “£31.00 my theory test cost me. It was lot of money as a 17 year-old and I was very independent. Too proud to ask my parents for the cash, I got a part-time job. Just weeks before booking my theory test I had enough money to pay for it, and about five driving lessons as well, it was quite liberating to know I could pay for the theory test myself.”

Here are some top tips for raising cash to book your theory test:

1. Get a job – Whether part-time or full-time your first pay cheque could cover the cost of the theory test, and even a few driving lessons. Employment also adds to the same sense of independence you get from being able to drive. Plus, once you’re on the road, you have transport to get to your new job.

2. Get sponsored – Sponsorship is a great idea for youngsters! You can raise money while giving something back to the community. Some great initiatives include:

a) Car washing.

b) Window cleaning. 

c) Litter picking.

The Book Theory Test Today blogger says: “Raising cash through sponsorship has a ‘feel-good’ factor about it. You could get a group of friends together who also need money to pay for a theory test.”

3. Sell stuff – The Book Theory Test Today blogger says: “If I’d thought about it at the time I could have sold a load of stuff that I didn’t use anymore. Games consoles, CDs and DVDs are all fantastic items to sell and get cash.

4. Save – If any of the above are not possible for you, save whatever money you do get. Whether that’s birthday money, money at Christmas or money given as a gift, use it towards your theory test, driving lessons and even your practical exam.

5. Ask Family – The Book Theory Test Today blogger says: “It’s a last resort for some, but ask family members. I’m sure they would be willing to help and you can always offer to pay back the funds when you can. There’s no certainly no shame in seeking the help of family when your driving future is at stake.”
