KADEPAY FOR DRIVING SCHOOLS

A driving school booking app for lessons, packages and parents.

Students want Saturday morning, parents want to know what they paid for, and you want the permit number before the first lesson. KadePay gathers lesson requests with pickup spots, signed parent forms and lesson packages that count down, so your instructors spend the day on the road.

Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.

Sound familiar?

Teaching teens to drive is hard enough without the admin.

A driving school runs on a calendar full of 2-hour slots, parents who pay, students who forget and paperwork the state cares about. These are the moments that take instructors off the road, and how KadePay helps.

01

Parents texting all week to find a lesson time

Mom wants after soccer on Tuesday, Dad wants Saturday, and the student is texting you separately with a third idea.

With KadePay

Share a booking link with your lesson types and open hours. The family requests a time, and you or the instructor confirm the one that works with the rest of the day.

Appointment booking
02

Pickup addresses that change every lesson

Tuesday it is the high school parking lot, Thursday it is home, Saturday it is grandma's house across town.

With KadePay

Each appointment can carry its own location, so the instructor sees the pickup spot with the lesson. Notes on the student profile keep the parent's number and any pickup rules.

Customer profiles and notes
03

Tracking how many lessons a family has left

They bought the six-lesson package in March, rescheduled twice, and now nobody is sure if this is lesson four or five.

With KadePay

Sell driving lesson packages of 3, 6 or 10 behind-the-wheel lessons and record each one as it is used. You always know what is left, and each lesson is still booked separately.

Packages and sessions
04

Permit details and parent signatures on paper

You need the learner's permit number, the parent's consent and your cancellation policy signed before a minor gets behind the wheel.

With KadePay

Send a parent consent form with the permit number, emergency contact and your policies. The parent completes and signs it on their phone after signing in, and it stays with the family's profile.

Forms and signatures
05

No-shows on a two-hour behind-the-wheel slot

The instructor drives to the pickup spot, waits twenty minutes and texts the parent, who thought the lesson was next week.

With KadePay

Automatic appointment reminders go out before lessons. With a signed cancellation policy and a card on file the parent authorized, you can charge the fee your signed policy describes.

How it fits your week

How a new student goes from permit to road test

  1. The family finds you

    A parent taps your Flex Link from your website or a flyer at the high school and sees lesson packages, the booking link and your enrollment form in one place.

  2. Paperwork before the first drive

    The parent signs the consent form, adds the learner's permit number and authorizes a card on file. You see everything on the student's profile.

  3. Package paid, lessons requested

    They buy the six-lesson package or agree a payment plan, then request each behind-the-wheel lesson time. You confirm and pick the instructor.

  4. Lessons on the road

    Each lesson shows the pickup spot. After the drive, record the package visit and add a private note about lane changes or parallel parking.

  5. Ready for test day

    Sell a final prep lesson or the use of your car on test day with a fixed-amount link, and the parent pays from their phone.

KadePay for driving schools

Choosing the best driving school booking app for a small school

Full driving school software often tries to run everything, from classroom rosters to state reporting. Many independent schools and solo instructors need something narrower: a way for families to request lessons, pay for them and sign the paperwork, without a phone call for each step.

KadePay handles behind-the-wheel lessons as booking requests you confirm, with a pickup location on each appointment. Driving lesson packages count down as lessons are used, and a parent can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or a payment plan you agree on. Road test prep and the use of your car on test day can be sold with a fixed-amount link.

For minors, the parent consent form matters as much as the payment. Build it once with the permit number, emergency contact and your no-show policy, and every family signs it on their phone before the first drive. Signed copies stay on the profile.

KadePay does not report hours to the DMV or issue completion certificates, so keep your state records where they are today. Use it as the driving instructor app for scheduling requests, payments, forms and student notes, and download transactions when your accountant asks.

CLEAR ANSWERS

Driving schools & instructors: your questions, answered.

What is the best driving school booking app for independent instructors?

One that keeps families out of your text messages. KadePay gives students and parents a booking link to request lessons with a pickup location, sells lesson packages, collects signed parent forms and takes payment by card, wallet, bank transfer or payment plan.

How do driving schools sell lesson packages?

Create a package of 3, 6 or 10 behind-the-wheel lessons with one price. The parent buys it once, each lesson is booked separately as a request you confirm, and you record each lesson as it is used until the package is done.

Can parents sign a driving school consent form online?

Yes. Build a form with the learner's permit number, emergency contacts, pickup rules and your cancellation policy. The parent completes and signs it on their own phone after signing in, and you keep it with the family's record.

Can families pay for driver's ed in installments?

Yes. Agree a payment plan with the family for a set number of installments, collected from an eligible saved card or bank account. Affirm pay-over-time may also be offered at checkout where the parent is eligible and approved.

Does KadePay track required hours or report to the DMV?

No. KadePay records package lessons as they are used and keeps notes on each student, but it does not send reports to your state or issue completion certificates. Keep those in the system your state requires.

How much does KadePay cost for a driving school?

For a solo instructor, Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month; payment and usage fees apply. Schools with several instructors usually look at Team or Pro for team members. Plan details are on the pricing page.
