Practical Test Centres Near Godalming

Guildford is the closest practical centre to Godalming, around five miles north, though pass rates there sit a little below the national average. Routes typically cover the residential streets and dual carriageways around the town, plus quieter sections out towards the Surrey Hills, so your instructor will likely spend time building confidence on varied road types in the final lessons.

Farnborough sits roughly nine miles north-west with a pass rate comfortably above the national average, making it a popular second choice when local learners want better odds or Guildford slots are scarce. Chertsey is around fourteen miles north and posts a pass rate closer to the national average, though most Godalming learners only consider it if the nearer two centres are fully booked.
