Sound familiar?

You didn't become an ADI to spend Sunday evenings on spreadsheets.

Unpaid lessons drain your income

The average ADI loses £340/month to no-shows and late cancellations. That's £4,080/year — gone. Cash payments and "I'll pay next time" are killing your margins.

Admin eats 6+ hours a week

Texting pupils, chasing payments, updating spreadsheets, invoicing, filing mileage. You're running a one-person business with zero back-office. The admin never stops.

MTD penalties start April 2026

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is now mandatory. Miss a quarterly filing? HMRC charges penalties from day one. Most ADIs haven't started preparing.

“I recovered £340 in unpaid lessons in my first month. I'd been letting it slide for years thinking I'd sort it eventually. Took me 20 minutes to set up.”

Sarah M.ADI, Manchester — 11 years teaching

Only on DrivePro

Four things no other ADI app gives you.

Instructor marketplace

Learners search by postcode and book you directly. They land on your page, pick a slot, and pay. You only pay a one-time introduction fee when a marketplace pupil completes their first booking — no ongoing commission.

ADIs on the marketplace fill new slots within 2 weeks of listing.

HMRC Making Tax Digital

HMRC-recognised software. Every lesson you log, every expense you add, every mile you drive — it all flows into your quarterly return. Hit submit. Done. No spreadsheet, no accountant bill.

File your quarterly return in under 3 minutes — straight to HMRC.

Lead selling & buying

Fully booked and turning pupils away? Sell those enquiries to instructors in your area and earn from leads you'd otherwise ignore. Short on pupils? Buy verified, local leads.

Turn your waiting list into revenue instead of dead enquiries.

AI lesson debriefs

Record a 30-second voice note after each lesson. AI turns it into a structured debrief your pupil receives instantly — what went well, what to practise, and where they sit on the DVSA syllabus.

Pupils get professional debriefs. You spend 30 seconds, not 10 minutes.

Before & after

Your week without DrivePro vs. with it.

“The MTD filing genuinely scared me. DrivePro just does it. My accountant was shocked when I told him I don't need him for my quarterly returns anymore.”

The full toolkit

Everything else you need, built in.

Smart scheduling

Set your working hours, buffer times, and travel radius. Pupils only see slots that actually work for you. No double-bookings, no back-and-forth texts.

Pay-at-booking via Stripe

Pupils pay when they book. Card on file. No cash, no "I forgot my wallet", no chasing bank transfers after the lesson.

Pupil portal

Each pupil gets their own portal: upcoming lessons, debriefs, progress, payments. They rebook themselves. You stop being a receptionist.

DVSA syllabus tracking

Track every pupil against the official DVSA driver's record. See exactly which topics they've covered and when they're genuinely test-ready.

Automated SMS reminders

Reminders go out before every lesson. No-shows drop. Your diary runs to plan. You never send another "don't forget" text.

Full financial audit trail

Every payment, refund, and cancellation fee — recorded in an immutable log. When HMRC asks, you have every receipt from day one.

Automatic cancellation fees

Late cancellation? The fee charges automatically via the pupil's saved card. No awkward conversation, no lost income, no confrontation.

Works like a native app

Install from your browser — no app store. Push notifications, fast loading, works on any device. Your phone, your tablet, your laptop.

“I used to spend Sunday evenings texting pupils about payments. Now DrivePro does it all — I haven't chased an invoice in three months.”
