What DrivoPilot is
DrivoPilot is web software for driving instructors and schools, combining booking, scheduling, DVSA pupil-progress tracking, payments, and a branded website. Pupils can book, pay, and reschedule around an instructor’s real availability. The shared diary accounts for working hours, travel, and buffer time while detecting clashes. Instructors can record progress against the DVSA syllabus and share it with learners. Payment features cover online and in-person cards, lesson blocks, and running pupil balances. The Solo plan costs £9.99 a month for one instructor and includes unlimited pupils, online booking, progress tracking, Stripe payments, reminders, a pupil portal, and a branded website. The School plan costs £39 a month per active school and adds unlimited instructors, pupils, and logins, Google Calendar sync, reporting, and priority support. DrivoPilot records income, expenses, and mileage and offers an MTD-ready export, but HMRC filing still requires recognised MTD software.
Good
- Self-service booking, payment, and rescheduling
- Diary includes travel and buffer time
- DVSA progress sharing with learners
- School plan includes Google Calendar sync

Watch out
- No free plan
- Solo costs £9.99 a month
- School costs £39 per active school monthly
- MTD export does not file with HMRC
Who it suits
Solo is aimed at independent instructors, while School is designed for team-based driving schools and branches. It suits users wanting booking, diary, progress, payment, and website tools from any device.
Verdict
DrivoPilot covers the main administrative tasks of instructors and driving schools, from availability and pupil progress to payments and reporting. The 30-day trial offers a starting period, but ongoing use requires a paid plan and HMRC filing remains separate.
