A driving instructor and learner on a lesson in New Zealand

Booking software for driving instructors in New Zealand.

Learners book only the hours you teach, the weekly lesson holds itself in the diary through to the restricted test, and each pickup rides on the booking.

Online booking

The Tuesday is taken while you sleep

A learner picks a real free hour off your page late at night, says where you are collecting them, and it is booked before you have seen the phone.

Smart scheduling

One board, a different kerb each stop

Every lesson sits on the day with its own pickup, so a test date landing midweek is a drag across the board rather than a rewrite.

Past your coverage. Decline politely, or make an exception.

The pickup you cannot make pay.

Someone forty minutes out asks for a Tuesday. Past the areas you claim it arrives flagged, as an enquiry you answer rather than an hour already in your diary.

A map with three service areas shaded over a street grid, and a list of territories beneath, each a group of districts with its crew.
  • Grey Lynn8 districts · 2 crew
  • Devonport7 districts · 2 crew
  • Auckland North7 districts · 2 crew

The streets you are willing to start from.

Claim the areas you will collect in from real boundaries rather than a radius you guessed, and your page only sells hours you can physically reach. Outside them a district is not offered at all.

No hours left until the new year.

A busy instructor turns work away by not answering. The enquiry that hits nothing goes to the next name in the search results.

  • They wait rather than leave

    With nothing free they leave the evenings that suit and a number, and it lands as a thread you answer between two lessons.

  • Handled in the thread

    Accept and it becomes a lesson in the diary. Decline and it closes. Neither one is a call you make from a kerb.

  • One car, one hour

    An overlap is refused by the database itself, so the same six o’clock cannot be sold twice however the second booking arrived.

A booking request inside a message thread, answered with accept or decline without leaving the conversation.

The same hour, every week, until the test.

A pupil is not one booking. It is the same hour at the same time every week, running for months, and it ends the day they sit their restricted test.

  • Set the pattern once

    Same day, same time, every week or every fortnight, ending on the test date or after a set number of lessons. Standing arrangements are free.

  • Move one, keep the rest

    Shift the Thursday they cannot make and the pattern re-anchors around it. The other months of lessons are not rebuilt by hand.

  • Generated ahead of you

    The weeks in front of you are filled in before anyone rings, so the diary already shows what the pupil has committed to.

A timeline of a customer's past jobs, quotes and payments.

Three lessons, three kerbs.

The same learner is at home on Monday and outside work on Saturday. The address belongs to the lesson rather than to the person.

  • The pickup rides on the lesson

    Every booking carries where you are collecting from, so a Wednesday starting at the campus changes nothing on their record.

  • Drag it when the test comes

    A date lands and the week reshuffles: move a lesson to another time on the board and commit the lot in one go.

  • Only the hours you teach

    Weekly hours and dated overrides are all a slot search has to work with, so a seven in the morning is never offered.

What you teach

Every hour a pupil books with you

First hour on a learner licence

Someone who has done nothing but the theory. Its own service at its own length, priced on the page before you turn up.

The weekly hour to the restricted

Same time each week for months, aimed at one test. Set the pattern once and the lessons keep appearing without a phone call.

Restricted test prep and the mock run

A full practice of the route and the manoeuvres, booked as its own longer service rather than tacked onto a normal hour.

Full licence lessons

The second test, months after the first, sold as its own thing. The learner is already on your books with every hour they did.

Advanced course sessions

Approved course work that shortens the restricted period, booked as its own service so nobody mistakes it for a normal lesson.

Open road and night driving

Two hours out of town, or the dark hours nobody practises. A longer service at its own price so the day is not underbooked.

Automatic-only lessons

Its own service with its own price and length, so a learner never takes a manual hour by accident and arrives to the wrong car.

Overseas licence conversion lessons

A confident driver who has never driven here. Priced as its own service rather than trimmed off a learner rate.

Refresher after years without a car

A licence holder who has not driven in a decade. Its own hour, its own price, and a record of exactly what you covered.

A customer profile with their address, contact details, total spent and outstanding balance.

The pupil, and where to find them.

Their number, the addresses you collect from and what is still owed, on one record you can open at the kerb.

One thread per pupil.

The Saturday swap, the parent asking about test day and the reminder you sent all sit in the same conversation.

A confirmation that a customer paid one stage of a split card payment at booking, with the next stage due later, paid into the vendor's account.

The weeks between now and the test.

A month at a glance is how this trade reads its diary: not one day, but whether there are enough hours left before the date.

Every lesson in one list.

Standing weekly hours and one-off bookings in the same list, filtered by status, so nothing is only remembered because you remember it.

Pro

The route to the test, priced up front.

Weekly hours, longer runs out of town, or a concentrated push at the test. One quote, three prices, decided before the first lesson.

  • The weekly hour, set once

    Same time weekly or fortnightly, ending on a date or after a set number of lessons. Standing arrangements sit on the Free plan.

  • Three routes, one quote

    Weekly hours, longer runs and the concentrated push side by side with their own prices, and the one you would pick marked recommended. Options come with Pro.

  • Shift one, keep the pattern

    Move the Thursday they cannot make and the arrangement re-anchors to it, without rebuilding the months of lessons behind it.

The hour, the longer session and the run up to the test, side by side on one quote.

The hour goes either way.

Six o’clock cannot be sold twice. Take the fee before the lesson and put the notice you need in writing on the page they book from.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Write up what came over at the kerb with the date it landed, on any plan. Recording money by hand has never cost anything.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Card payments, whether taken on your page at booking or against the lesson afterwards, are the one part of the money on Pro.

  • One list of who owes

    Payments totals what has come in and what is still out, so a learner drifting three lessons behind is not a surprise.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your driving instruction business.

Scheduling

The day in order with the kerb you collect from on every stop, so a test date landing midweek moves the lessons rather than your memory.

Bookings

Every lesson in one list, standing weekly ones included, filtered by status so an hour nobody fronted up for reads as lost, not done.

Online booking

Your own page carrying only the hours you teach, where a learner takes a free evening and tells you where to collect them from.

Inbox

A thread per learner, so the swapped Saturday, the question about test day and the request you accepted all sit in one conversation.

Estimates

The weekly hour, the double and the run at the restricted, side by side on one link they accept by typing their own name.

Customers

Each learner with the addresses you collect from, every hour they have sat with you and whatever is still owing on the record.

Territories

Claim the areas you are willing to collect in off real boundaries, so a pickup half an hour out never becomes a booked hour.

Team

A second car carries its own hours and its own areas, so an evening nobody is teaching is never offered to anyone at all.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer written up by hand cost nothing at all. Taking the lesson fee by card is the part that comes with Pro.

Common questions.

Yes. Your page shows what you genuinely have free, and they take it at whatever hour of the night they get around to it.

Yes, on the Free plan. Choose the day, the time and the interval, say whether it ends on a date or after a set number, and the weeks fill ahead of you.

Every lesson holds its own address, so Monday starting at home and Thursday starting at the polytech needs nothing changed on their record.

Yes. Claim only the areas you collect in and anything outside them cannot book, arriving instead as a request you are free to decline.

Switch on a reminder email before the lesson and write your notice period into your own booking page. There is no automatic fee, and an hour nobody showed for is marked no-show.

Not for cash or bank transfer recorded by hand. Cards are the part that comes with Pro, and the money lands in your own account.
