Collingwood is a travel point, not a DriveTest Centre. DriveTest sends examiners to ServiceOntario, 191 Hurontario St, Unit 6 in Collingwood on scheduled dates, staffed from Barrie, rather than keeping an office open here. That distinction is the whole story for anyone searching for a G1 test in Collingwood, because what a travel point offers is narrower than what a centre offers.
Yes, but Collingwood takes knowledge tests by appointment.
This is a travel point rather than a full centre. DriveTest has listed knowledge testing among the services you can book an appointment for here since May 2025, so book ahead instead of walking in.
What Collingwood Handles
Collingwood is the only travel point Barrie staffs, so its schedule depends on that one centre alone.
Copied from DriveTest’s own centre locator on August 22, 2026. Services change. Check the official locator before you travel, and use it for live wait times too.
When It Is Open
A travel point does not keep standing hours. DriveTest publishes a specific list of dates and times for Collingwood, and that list is revised through the year, so reproducing it here would only make it stale. The official locator carries the current schedule, and it is the only place worth trusting for it.
Nearest Alternatives to Collingwood
If Collingwood is queued out or closed on the day you can go, these are the closest locations that also offer the knowledge test. Distances are straight-line, calculated from the coordinates DriveTest publishes, so every one of them is shorter than the drive. Around the Great Lakes it can be much shorter.

Before You Go
None of this is specific to Collingwood. It is specific to Ontario, and it is where most wasted trips come from.
- Bring original documents. Photocopies, scans and photos on a phone are refused at the counter. You need original proof of identity, and if you are under 16 you need a parent or guardian with you.
- There is a vision screening first. Bring your glasses or contacts if you wear them. It happens before the written test, not after.
- The fee is $159.75 for the Class G1 licence package, set by the province and the same at every location. A retake of the knowledge test is $16.
- Nothing is bookable. Knowledge tests are first come, first served at every DriveTest Centre. Arrive well before closing rather than close to it.
Turn Up Having Already Passed It Once
The trip is the expensive part, not the $16. Our G1 practice test is free, has no ads and needs no account: 200 questions on signs and rules of the road, a 40-question mock in the real two-section format, an explanation on every answer, and unlimited retakes.
