Why Choose Us?

We undestand the risk to yourself of commiting to a contract that has either no guarantee of providing a specifc number of pupils or some that promise to give you only 50 pupils per year (that’s less than one per week). That is why we have created a NO Risk Franchise that leaves you in control and no financial risk to you. We want you to join and stay with us not because the contract term says you must but because you want to, and you love what we do for you, and we will not recruit another driving Instructor in your area unless we have to turn away business because you are too busy and need support. We do not have any sales teams so don’t worry just our family members explaining what we do.

97% of Driving Instructors that started with us on our trial period decided to stay with us. The other 3% left due to personal circumstances and not because of the service we provided. Filling your diary quickly is our highest priority and we will GUARANTEE a minimum number of pupils that will be given to you.

What are the Benefits of the Smart Drive UK Street Driving Instructor Franchise?

Smart Drive UK’s driving instructor franchise contracts are carefully formulated to make sure ADIs are not mandated to stick to contracts offering less than one student a week. They are one of the few driving instructor franchise providers where ADIs are in control of what happens with their contracts. Franchisees remain with Smart Drive UK out of their own volition.

Importantly, Smart Drive UK will not hire multiple driving instructors in your area in Street unless they are confident about providing a steady supply of students. Driving instructors in Street stay with Smart Drive UK on a long-term basis due to their unique advantages. ADIs have full diaries with Smart Drive UK, and the company offers a guarantee on the minimum number of pupils per instructor.

Why Should ADIs embrace a Driving Instructor Franchises in Street?

All newly qualified driving instructors have to choose between signing up for a franchise or starting their own business soon after qualification. There are positives to both sides of the argument, so the option you go for at the end of the day will be dependent on your particular situation. When running your own driving school business, some bottlenecks must be navigated. Recommendations and referrals are your best bet to getting new clients as an ADI. Recommendations will only come after you have built a positive reputation over a period of time.

You will have to participate in different forms of marketing, create a website and have some presence on social media to draw prospective driving school pupils. Many ADIs do not have what it takes to draw new pupils in the early days of their driving school and make a profit, so for this reason many struggle. This is where joining a franchise such as the Smart Drive UK Street driving instructor franchise makes sense.

Choosing the Street Driving Instructor Franchise to work with

When choosing a driving instructor franchise in Street to join, you need to ensure you have made the right decision.

You can’t afford to choose carelessly as you could be staring at a long-term contract that would require forfeiting hefty sums to break. Don’t ignore local driving schools when looking for franchise opportunities even in the presence of some of the more popular names.

The primary reason for this is that local companies have been around your target area and must have built a reputation with local people. A constant supply of driving school pupils is only second to the actual contract when it comes to a franchise agreement.

Smart Drive

You should seek reassurances on the supply of pupils to be certain about profitability as an ADI that is part of a franchise. Smart Drive UK understands the requirements for a successful driving instructor franchise career so contact them today.

FAQ’s

Can I take a break off after qualifying?

Some driving instructors build up their business slowly part-time alongside a full-time job to remove any risk financially. We will support you in your process to reach your goals.

Is full-time driving instruction of 40 hours or more per week a business with 40 pupils per week?

We encourage students to take lessons lasting and in 20 minutes (2 hours). 20 pupils are normally enough to be a full-time teacher with Smart Drive UK. In between lessons, travel time will be needed. We build multi-of learner drivers by encouraging block bookings.

Numbers of clients will Smart Drive UK give me?

Our advertising campaigns run throughout the year on a local and national basis positioning Smart Drive UK as a leader in local driving school provision. You can also promote your driving instructor business through our time-tested advice, resources, and marketing materials.

Is there a charge for supplying students?

You will not have to pay to get more students.

Will I be employed by Smart Drive UK?

No. Both independent driving schools and franchised driving instructors tend to be self-employed in the UK. Driving instructors have the benefit of being their boss.

You choose your work hours and organise your schedule to fit around your life. Driving instructors value the flexibility of the hours and the schedule; flexibility that is found in few other careers.

The nature of self-employed businesses is that the more you are willing to invest in terms of your time and energy the more you will get out in terms of financial rewards and job satisfaction.
