Alongside our driving instructor franchise business, we also provide a driving lesson booking service
to third party driving schools and independent instructors. Under this scheme, you can supplement your
bookings with referrals from Drivecoach on a pay-per-pupil basis.
No pupil - no fee!
With the Drivecoach driving lesson booking service, you are not charged any monthly or weekly franchise fees.
The setup fee is £30.00 and from there on, you only pay £40.00 for each referral you decide to accept
from us - but only after the first lesson has taken place.
No commitment
You are under no commitment to accept pupils offered to you and free to
market your driving school and take bookings trough any other means.
Signage options
The standard referral fee of £40 per pupil requires you to use our magnetic door panels
reading "part of Drivecoach.co.uk".
If you don't want to use our signage on you car, you simply pay £10
more per pupil (£50 in total). The door panels are supplied free of charge.

by the pupil
How it works
Once your application has been approved, we will contact you each time we have a pupil in your
area who we are unable to place amongst our own franchisee instructors.
If you decide to accept the booking, we will forward you the pupils' details so you can
contact him/her directly and arrange a date for the first lesson.
If you on the other hand fail to arrange a lesson with the pupil we only request you let us
know as soon as possible so we can refer him/her to another instructor.
After the first lesson has taken place, we will send you an invoice and debit the refyour account with the referral fee.
How to join
Unless you have been specifically invited to join, we suggest you first contact us to
