Money handled, so you can focus on teaching

Chasing cash and trying to remember who has paid is the worst part of running a driving school. It eats into your evenings and, worse, it costs you money when a payment slips through the cracks. DrivoPilot ties every payment to a pupil and a lesson, so nothing gets lost.

Ways to take payment

Collect on booking

Connect card payments and take the money the moment a slot is reserved through online booking. The lesson is paid before you ever get in the car, which all but eliminates the awkward payment conversation.

Sell lesson blocks and courses

Sell 10, 20 or 30-hour blocks up front and DrivoPilot draws them down automatically as you teach. New drivers commit to a course, you secure the income, and the running balance updates itself after every lesson.

Take payment lesson by lesson

Prefer pay-as-you-go? Take a card payment in person or online for each lesson, and it still lands against the pupil's record and balance.

Always know who owes what

Every pupil has a clear running balance, so a glance tells you who is in credit and who needs a nudge. Pair payments with automatic email reminders so learners are prompted before a balance is due, and keep a clean payment history that makes your year-end accounts far less painful.
