Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use DrivoPilot?
No. If you can use a messaging app, you can use DrivoPilot. Most instructors are set up and taking bookings within an hour. See our setup guide.
Can my pupils book lessons themselves?
Yes. Online booking lets pupils see your real availability and book or reschedule without ever calling you.
Does it track DVSA progress?
Yes. DrivoPilot scores every pupil against the DVSA syllabus, so learners always know what to work on next. See pupil progress.
Can I take payments?
Yes. Take card payments, sell lesson blocks and keep a clear record of every balance. Read more about payments.
Is there a free trial?
Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial and no card is required. See pricing.
How much does DrivoPilot cost?
DrivoPilot has simple per-instructor pricing across Solo, School and Multi-branch plans. Every plan begins with a 30-day free trial and no card is required. See pricing for the current figures.
What is the best software for driving instructors in the UK?
The best driving instructor software is the one that runs your whole business in a single place rather than several apps. DrivoPilot is built specifically for UK ADIs and driving schools, combining online booking, a smart diary, DVSA pupil-progress tracking, card payments and a branded website. Compare it on the features page or try it free for 30 days.
Is DrivoPilot better than a spreadsheet or paper diary?
A spreadsheet or paper diary cannot take online bookings, send reminders, collect card payments or show a pupil their DVSA progress, and it is easy to double-book or lose track of who has paid. DrivoPilot replaces all of that with one connected system, while keeping you in full control of your diary.
