Everything instructors hate about franchises, gone
Most ADIs leave a franchise for the same four reasons. Here is how we are different.
Typical franchise
Pay £200 to £250 every week, even in quiet weeks and holidays. That is £7,800 to £13,000 a year before you teach a single lesson.
DriveThruL
£0 to join and £0 weekly fee. Free for 12 months, no card. You only pay a flat fee when we send you a brand-new student.
Typical franchise
Your pupils belong to the franchise. Leave, and you lose the students you built relationships with.
DriveThruL
You keep your own pupils, and you pay nothing on them. A fee only ever applies to a new student we introduce.
Typical franchise
The franchise caps your lesson price, even where local demand supports charging more.
DriveThruL
Your private students, your rates. You keep 100% of every lesson fee you charge.
Typical franchise
Opaque lead allocation and long tie-ins. You can be stuck paying for months with no pupils.
DriveThruL
Leads go to the first instructor to claim them. No contract, no tie-in, leave any time.

Common questions
No. Joining is free, with a 12-month free trial and no credit card. You only ever pay when we send you a brand-new student: a flat £30 fee, or just £25 if you display our free DriveThruL roof sign on your car.
Display our DriveThruL branding on your car. We supply the printed artwork free, it fits any standard roof box, or you can use our magnetic door signs instead. Send us a quick photo once it is fitted, we verify it once, and from then on you pay £25 instead of £30 on every student we send you. Your car advertises you to learners across East London while you teach.
No. There are no contracts or lock ins, and no monthly fees. You can stop using DriveThruL any time.
Never. The fee only applies to a brand-new student we introduce to you. Your own pupils are always £0, and you keep 100% of every lesson fee you charge.
Then you owe nothing. If a student we introduce goes quiet and never takes a first lesson, report them as not responding from your dashboard. We send them a recovery message, and if they still do not start, the fee is cancelled and the lead is offered to someone else. You only ever pay for students who actually become your pupils.
We specialise in East London: Tower Hamlets, Newham, Hackney, Redbridge, Waltham Forest, and Barking & Dagenham, covering over 200 postcodes.
Both ADI (fully qualified) and PDI (trainee licence holders) are welcome on the platform.
Lead volume depends on your coverage areas and availability. The more postcodes you cover, the more leads you receive. We match you as soon as a student books in your area.
Yes. You pick exactly which postcode areas you want to receive leads for. You can update them anytime from your dashboard.
Most franchises charge £200 to £250 per week in fees, restrict your branding, cap your prices, and lock you into long contracts. The pupils belong to them, not you. DriveThruL has no joining fee, no weekly or monthly fee, and no contract. You keep your car, your brand, your own pupils, and 100% of your lesson fees. You only pay a flat fee when we send you a new student.
