Frequently Asked Questions About Driving School Software
Driving school software is a management platform for ADIs and driving schools that handles lesson scheduling, online booking, student progress tracking, test date management, automated billing, and instructor allocation. It replaces spreadsheets, paper diaries, and WhatsApp coordination with a centralized system accessible from any device.
MyDriveSchool.Software plans start from £29/month for solo ADIs with unlimited students, online booking, and progress tracking. Multi-instructor schools pay £79/month for up to 5 instructors with fleet management and business analytics. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
Yes. Students get their own portal where they can view your availability, book lessons, reschedule, track their progress, and make payments. They receive automatic confirmations and reminders via SMS and email. Online booking reduces phone calls by 80% and lets students book lessons outside business hours.
Yes. MyDriveSchool.Software tracks test dates, sends countdown reminders, and helps students monitor their readiness. While DVSA doesn't offer direct API integration, our system makes test date management seamless by storing test details, tracking skills coverage, and alerting you when students are approaching their test date.
Absolutely. After each lesson, record which skills you covered (junctions, roundabouts, manoeuvres, etc.), note areas for improvement, and rate readiness. Students see their progress through their portal, which motivates them and reduces 'When will I be ready?' questions. Progress tracking also helps with test preparation.
Create lesson packages (e.g., 10-hour blocks) or charge per lesson. The system generates invoices automatically, tracks payments, and sends polite reminders for overdue accounts. Accept payments via bank transfer, card, or cash. Automated billing saves 3-5 hours per week and reduces unpaid lessons by 90%.

The Solo Plan (£29/month) includes unlimited students, online booking, progress tracking, automated reminders, and billing—everything a solo instructor needs to run professionally.
Yes. The School Plan (£79/month) supports up to 5 instructors with individual calendars, student assignments, vehicle allocation, and performance tracking. Enterprise plans handle unlimited instructors across multiple locations. Each instructor gets their own login and can only see their assigned students.
Yes. Automated reminders go out via SMS and email 24 hours before each lesson. This reduces no-shows by 65% and cancellations by 40%. You can customize reminder timing and messaging. Students can confirm, cancel, or request changes directly from the reminder, saving you phone calls.

This is essential for claiming mileage deductions and ensuring your vehicles are roadworthy. Fleet tracking is included in the School Plan and above for managing multiple vehicles.
