- Take payment the moment a slot is booked
- New enquiries arrive as leads you approve before they reach the diary
Scheduling & diary
A diary that thinks like an instructor
Every lesson, across every instructor, on one screen. Travel time, working hours and clashes are handled for you, so the day always adds up.
- See the whole school, or zoom into one instructor's day
- Travel and buffer time built in automatically
- Drag to reschedule and the pupil is notified instantly
DVSA pupil progress
Show every pupil the road to their test
Score each lesson against the DVSA syllabus so learners always know what to practise next, and you can see at a glance exactly who is test-ready.

- Pupil-facing progress learners can check between lessons
- Test-readiness visible at a glance
Payments & invoicing
Get paid on time, every time
Take card payments, sell lesson blocks up front and always know who owes what. No more awkward end-of-lesson chase for cash.

Accounting & expenses
Sort your books without the shoebox
Log expenses and mileage as you go, watch your real profit build up through the tax year, and hand over a clean, MTD-ready export at the end. DrivoPilot keeps the records and does the sums — you or your accountant still file with HMRC.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use DrivoPilot?
No. If you can use a messaging app, you can use DrivoPilot. Most instructors are set up and taking bookings within an hour. See our setup guide.
Can my pupils book lessons themselves?
Yes. Online booking lets pupils see your real availability and book or reschedule without ever calling you.
Does it track DVSA progress?
Yes. DrivoPilot scores every pupil against the DVSA syllabus, so learners always know what to work on next. See pupil progress.
Can I take payments?
Yes. Take card payments, sell lesson blocks and keep a clear record of every balance. Read more about payments.
Is there a free trial?
Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial and no card is required. See pricing.
How much does DrivoPilot cost?
DrivoPilot has two simple plans: £9.99 a month for a solo instructor, or £39 a month per active school with unlimited instructors. Every plan begins with a 30-day free trial and no card is required. See pricing for the current figures.
What is the best software for driving instructors in the UK?
For most driving instructors, the best software is an all-in-one platform that runs the whole business from a single login rather than a stack of separate apps. DrivoPilot is built specifically for ADIs, PDIs and driving schools, and covers the five things instructors juggle daily: online booking, a smart multi-instructor diary that factors in travel and buffer time, DVSA pupil-progress tracking against the full syllabus, card payments with lesson blocks and credits, and a branded booking website. Unlike single-purpose diary or payment tools, one login covers all five, so pupil data flows between them automatically instead of being re-keyed. It also keeps MTD-ready income, expense and mileage records and can bring in new pupils through the DrivoPilot marketplace. There is a 30-day free trial with no card required — compare it on the features page.
Is DrivoPilot better than a spreadsheet or paper diary?
A spreadsheet or paper diary cannot take online bookings, send reminders, collect card payments or show a pupil their DVSA progress, and it is easy to double-book or lose track of who has paid. DrivoPilot replaces all of that with one connected system, while keeping you in full control of your diary.
