YooDrive’s commission model is designed to benefit driving schools by eliminating fixed franchise fees, instead opting for a small commission from each hourly booking. This model ensures that schools gain on actual business generated, providing financial flexibility and allowing for more predictable revenue scaling as your business grows.

YooDrive offers an unparalleled level of choice and convenience for customers. They can compare instructors and schools, read unmoderated reviews, and manage bookings all in one place. Additionally, the option to receive donations or use credit services for payments makes driving lessons more accessible for many students.

Yes, that’s correct. YooDrive operates on a freemium model, allowing you to add both Potential Driving Instructors (PDIs) and Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) to your team sections on the platform at no cost. This feature enables you to efficiently manage and allocate a steady stream of enquiries and jobs to keep your instructors busy and well-trained.

Our dedicated customer service team is on hand to assist you in setting up your profile to start receiving reviews and enquiries. We’ll help you get your training video repository set up for your teams to access, ensuring a smooth transition and effective onboarding process for your school. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to begin leveraging YooDrive’s benefits.

Absolutely. YooDrive provides the flexibility for schools and independent instructors to set their own lesson prices. This means you have full control over the pricing of different types of driving instruction services you offer, including:

• Basic Hourly Rate: You can set a competitive hourly rate for standard driving lessons. This rate can be adjusted based on your instructors’ experience, the geographic location of your school, and other factors that influence the cost and value of your services.
• Intensive Course Rate: Intensive driving courses are in high demand, often fetching a premium price due to their accelerated learning curve and the convenience they offer students looking to pass their driving test quickly. YooDrive allows you to set a separate, typically higher, rate for these courses, reflecting their added value. Given the high prices demanded by current online intensive course brokers, YooDrive’s model enables you to offer competitive rates directly to customers, potentially increasing your margins.
• Instructor Training Rate: For schools that provide instructor training services, YooDrive enables you to list these services at rates that reflect the specialised nature of this training. This rate is set as hourly to tie in with our booking systems.

This pricing flexibility empowers your driving school to strategically price services in a way that maximises revenue for both your school and your instructors. By offering direct dealing with schools, YooDrive removes the middleman, often seen in the form of online brokers for intensive courses, thus potentially offering better rates for students and higher revenues for schools and instructors.

Through YooDrive, schools now have the opportunity to optimise their pricing strategies based on online market demand, service type, and their unique value proposition. This direct-to-consumer model not only enhances revenue potential but also increases customer choice and convenience, making it a win-win for both service providers and users.
