Online Booking for
Driving Instructors
Replace the phone tag, the text messages, and the manual calendar. Give students a professional booking page where they can see your real availability, book instantly, and pay upfront.
How It Works
Three steps from search to confirmed lesson.
Student finds your page
Your DriveBook profile is indexed by Google. Students searching "driving instructor [suburb]" find you, see your availability, rates, vehicle type, and reviews.
Student books online
They pick a date and time from your real-time availability, enter their pickup address, and confirm. No calls. No back-and-forth. The whole process takes under two minutes.
Payment collected, lesson confirmed
The lesson cost is deducted from the student's wallet at booking time. Both of you receive confirmation instantly. The booking appears in your dashboard.
Everything Included
Real-time availability
Students only see slots that are genuinely open. Booking buffers, working hours, and existing appointments are all respected automatically.
Upfront payment
Students pay via card into their wallet before the lesson happens. No chasing payments. No cash on the day.
Automatic reminders
SMS and email reminders sent 24 hours before and on the day. No-show rates drop significantly without you doing anything.
Offline booking recording
Cash or phone bookings can be recorded manually in your dashboard. Your complete schedule is always in one place.
Cancellation policy enforcement
Set your cancellation policy once. DriveBook charges the appropriate fee automatically when a student cancels inside the window.
No double bookings
Slot reservation prevents two students from booking the same time simultaneously. Atomic checkout — the first confirmation wins.
Online Booking vs Manual Booking
Manual booking costs you more time and money than it looks.
