The DMV wait time is 8 weeks! Does anyone know a school that can get a rush appointment in 1-3 weeks? I’m willing to pay for a fast-track service to get my license before summer.
Yeah, NYC DMV wait times can be brutal, especially in peak season. Some driving schools actually reserve bulk appointments and can offer earlier slots if you book a package with them. It’s definitely worth calling around and asking specifically about “rush” or “priority” bookings. I found https://coreway.nyc/ in the middle of my search, and they seem to offer expedited road test scheduling with flexible dates. Prices are higher, but if timing matters, it can be a solid option.
The 8-week wait is ridiculous! Does anyone know if Coreway NYC can guarantee a slot within that 1–3 week window? I’m specifically looking for a test site in Brooklyn or Staten Island where the passing rates aren't too low. Is the "rush" fee worth the extra cost?
In my experience, the fee is 100% worth it if you're on a deadline. They can usually snag cancellations that never even show up on the public DMV portal. I used a similar service last year and got my license in 12 days. It’s a lifesaver when you need to drive for work before summer!
