Driving instructor franchise

Teach with us

Established in 2007, Drivecoach has grown to become one of the UK's most successful driving school franchises. We pride ourselves on providing a highly personalized service tailored around each instructor's needs and objectives. Our website generates thousands of pupil enquiries monthly thanks to our internet-marketing skills and the reputation we have built up over the years.

We believe that a happy instructor means happy pupils, which in turn means repeat business for us. With this in mind, we work hard to ensure all our instructors are satisfied with the franchise and fully booked throughout the year.

We only recruit instructors in areas where we can demonstrate an acceptable level of work. Unlike many other driving schools, we never recruit multiple instructors in the same area unless our existing instructor(s) are overbooked and continuously forced to turn pupils away. As a result – and unlike most other franchises – we are able to offer our instructors a two-way contract, where we guarantee a regular supply of pupils in return for the weekly franchise fee paid by the instructor.

Key benefits:

	Unlimited pupils - We'll provide you with a continuous supply of new pupils, helping you build a local client base in your area.
	Contractual guarantee of work - We'll commit to provide you with a minimum of one new pupil per week, although we would expect to supply 2-3 pupils per week so long as you're not fully booked.
	Low franchise fees - As outlined below, without any hidden extras.
	First 4 weeks FREE - Giving you time to build your business and generate a regular income from our referrals.
	A further 4 weeks holiday per year - Take a break from teaching without having to worry about paying the franchise fee.
	Only 28 days notice - You can terminate the franchise at any time, for any reason, with just 28 days notice.
	Streamlined pupil booking process - Thanks to our online diary system, pupils can be slotted straight into your diary whether you are at home, out working or on holiday.
	Dedicated advisor - You'll be assigned an experienced instructor-liaison officer, motivated to place new pupils with you and support your business.
	Free car livery - Including roof sign, magnetic door panels and optional car stickers.
	Free stationary - Including business cards, flyers, appointment cards, instructor diary, pupils records, gift vouchers and receipt books.

Price plans:

Instructor with own car - Only £68 per week for all the above including unlimited supply of pupils within your area.
Instructor requiring a car - From only £150 per week for all the above plus a brand new tuition vehicle which we can arrange for you through one of our affiliated leasing companies. Choose from a Fiesta, Corsa, Peugeot 207, Citroen C3, Mini or any other model, provided that it complies with our terms.
Part time/Pay-per-pupil franchise - From only £53 per week, plus a charge of between £10 and £20 per pupil supplied, depending on their level of experience.

Frequently asked questions


	Question 1 - Do you cover my area? As a nationwide driving school franchise we recruit instructors throughout the UK. If we already have one or more franchisees in your area, we'd need to consult with them first before taking you on. Provided they are fully booked, as is normally the case, there shouldn't be any problem. If we don't cover your area - don't worry - it normally takes us just around 2 weeks to start supplying you with work. By taking out a franchise in a new area you'll also benefit from exclusivity on all local leads and pupil referrals.
	Question 2 - How many new pupils will I get from you each week? Assuming that you're starting with an empty diary, we'd target getting you fully booked within 10 weeks of joining. In reality this means supplying you with on average 2-3 pupils per week until you've achieved the number of hours per week that you wish to work. Thereafter, we'll ensure you remain fully booked, referring new pupils to you on an "as needed" basis to replenish the ones you loose. As a Drivecoach franchisee, you should not be required to undertake any marketing or website activities yourself – that is – unless you want to.
	Question 3 - Can I run my own driving school alongside your franchise? Yes, that’s exactly what our franchise package is designed for. You will remain in complete control of your own driving school. You decide where, how and when you want to work and all monies earned are yours to keep.
	Question 4 - Will you recruit more instructors in my area? Our main responsibility is to ensure that all our instructors remain fully booked at all times. One way of achieving this is to restrict the number of instructors per area. We therefore only look to expand in areas where we are continuously forced to turn pupils away.
	Question 5 - How does the pupil-booking process work? We have developed an easy-to-use online diary system which you can log into at any time to notify us of your availability for the days and weeks ahead. New bookings are taken by us either by phone or online through our website, in which case we always contact the pupil to confirm their booking first. Once the booking is confirmed, you will receive a text message with the pupil's contact details and the time and date of the first lesson.
	Question 6 - What business support is provided? Your dedicated advisor will be in regular contact with you to discuss your business needs and how the franchise is performing. We are available by phone 7 days a week should you require advice on issues ranging from car servicing and check tests to financial planning and continued professional development (CPD).
	Question 7 - Can I meet up with other local Drivecoach instructors? Most definitely. In areas where we have multiple instructors we regularly organise local gatherings so that everyone in the team gets to know each other. Such gatherings are a great opportunity to discuss any ideas you might have or issues related to your business with fellow instructors in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere of a pub or restaurant.

Whether you are a newly qualified or experienced ADI, we would like to hear from you. You can contact us through the options below.


	Phone: 0800 228 9900 (option 3)
