Why ADIs are switching
Save an estimated £10,000+/year in franchise fees
AA franchise fees are estimated at £200-250/week. DrivePro costs from £16.66/month. That difference could mean over £10,000 a year more in your pocket - even after arranging your own car and insurance.
Build your own brand and reputation
With the AA, pupils remember the brand - not you. Go independent and every recommendation, every review, and every referral builds YOUR business. That goodwill stays with you forever.
HMRC Making Tax Digital built in
The AA provides no tax tools. DrivePro connects directly to HMRC and files your quarterly Making Tax Digital returns in minutes. Income, expenses, and mileage tracked automatically.
How it works
Switch in 4 simple steps
Check your AA contract
Review your franchise agreement for notice period and end date. Most AA contracts require written notice - typically 3-6 months. Plan ahead.
Sign up to DrivePro
Create your account during your notice period. 14-day free trial, no commitment. Set up your booking page, configure your availability and rates.
Arrange your own car and insurance
Source your own dual-control car and ADI insurance. Many instructors save money compared to the franchise lease. Your car, your choice.
Transition your pupils
Let your pupils know you're going independent. Share your new DrivePro booking link. Most pupils follow their instructor, not the franchise brand.
