    What happens if you miss or cancel your driving test appointment late in Finland?

    Moving a theory or driving test.

    Short answer

    The driving examination price list says that if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, you must do it no later than the previous business day during the opening hours of Ajovarma's phone service. Otherwise a cancellation fee of 50% is charged. The list also gives a 50% fee for a no-show at a handling, driving or driving ability test, and for an oral theory test appointment. With a category B driving test at €99, a no-show therefore costs €49.50.

    Why

    1. Cancel by the previous business day.
    2. Late cancellation costs 50%.
    3. No-show also costs 50%.

    Details

    The list ties the deadline to the opening hours of Ajovarma's phone service.

    Tip

    If you fall ill, contact the service before the deadline rather than skipping the test.

    What may differ

    Rules for cancellations due to illness are not described in the price list; ask Ajovarma.

    Common misconception

    You can cancel a driving test the same morning for free.

    What actually happens

    Late cancellations cost 50% of the fee.
