DrivePro
What it is
DrivePro is business management software for UK Approved Driving Instructors. Its branded booking page supports 24/7 bookings, payment at booking, an embeddable widget, waiting lists and automatic confirmations. The calendar provides drag-and-drop scheduling, recurring availability, SMS reminders, offline progressive-web-app use and on-device diary caching. Instructors connect their own Stripe account, with pupil card payments sent directly to their bank account. Accounting tools record lesson income, expense categories, mileage and vehicle costs, and provide a live tax estimate. Pro lists HMRC Making Tax Digital filing, CPD, Standards Check preparation, mock test route planning and a DVSA competency tracker; the current site says HMRC software recognition is being completed. Learners can compare instructor profiles, prices and availability, book online and track syllabus progress without downloading an app. DrivePro runs on Android, iOS and web. Pricing starts from £8/user/mo and includes a 14-day trial. The company says data is stored with AWS in Ireland and access is encrypted and controlled.
