What DrivePro is
DrivePro is business management software built for UK Approved Driving Instructors. Instructors can use a branded booking page with 24/7 booking, payment at booking, an embeddable widget, a waiting list, and automatic confirmations. Its calendar supports drag-and-drop scheduling, recurring availability, SMS reminders, offline use as a PWA, and diary caching on the device. Instructors connect their own Stripe account, and pupil card payments go directly to their bank account. Accounting tools record lesson income, expenses, mileage, and vehicle costs, and provide a live tax estimate. Pro includes CPD, Standards Check preparation, mock test route planning, and a DVSA competency tracker; its pricing page lists HMRC Making Tax Digital filing, while the current site says it is completing HMRC software recognition. Learners can view instructor profiles, compare prices and availability, book online, and track DVSA syllabus progress without downloading an app. DrivePro is available on Android, iOS, and web. The pricing page also lists Starter at £16.66/mo billed annually and Pro at £24.99/mo billed annually.
