Booking system for studios & fitness
The booking system for driving instructors
You are in the car on a lesson, dual controls at the ready. You cannot answer, so the learner books with another instructor.
Sound familiar?
Why driving instructors lose work to the phone.
A learner takes 30 to 40 lessons on average at £30 plus each. Missing one enquiry can mean missing over a thousand pounds of lessons.
You are teaching, not by the phone
Every hour of your day is a lesson in the car. You cannot take a call at a junction, so new learner enquiries ring out.
Learners want to start now
Someone who has just passed their theory wants lessons booked this week. The instructor who answers gets a pupil for months of weekly lessons.
Weekly rebooking by text is a chore
Sorting next week slot for every pupil is endless texting. subba books recurring lessons and handles reschedules for you.
How subba helps
An online diary that fills itself.
Bookings that land in your diary
Customers pick a real free slot and book themselves in. No back and forth, no double bookings, it is in your calendar the moment they confirm.
Take the payment or a deposit
Collect a deposit or the full amount into your own Stripe at the point of booking. Fewer no-shows, and the money is yours the same day.
An AI receptionist on top
And when someone rings or messages instead of booking online, subba answers as a driving instructor, day and night, and books them in too. One system, every enquiry caught.
Reminders that cut no-shows
Automatic reminders by text and email before every appointment, with easy rescheduling, so your slots stay filled and your day runs to plan.
Your services, online
Customers pick, book and pay.
subba shows your real services and prices, offers only your genuine free slots, and books straight into your diary. Here is how a driving instructor setup might look.
Most services take a message. subba books the job.
A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For driving instructors, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Driving instructor FAQs.
Can it set up a regular weekly lesson slot?
Yes. subba books the first lesson and can put the pupil on a recurring weekly time, then handle reminders and reschedules, so you keep a full, settled diary.
Does it answer while I am on a lesson?
Always. Every hour you are in the car teaching, subba is answering new pupil enquiries and booking them in, so you never lose a learner to a missed call.
How quickly can I get set up?
If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
