How does GoRoadie work?
You get a free modern, mobile app quality profile for your business. Learners send a lesson request to a Driving Instructor that includes their desired start time (1-4 weeks), preferred times (evenings/weekends etc), pickup location, hours of existing experience behind the wheel. GoRoadie will give you a text to know you’ve a request waiting, and you can choose to accept, propose a later time, or decline the learner. If you accept the student, you will unlock their full name and contact details, and you’re free to use them as you like.
How much does it cost?
Each student referral costs £25.99. You get a free referral for your first request so you can try us out, risk free. This unlocks the learners contact details, allowing you to book them in for their first lesson.
When and how do I pay the referral fee?
You only pay the referral fee once you have used all your free referrals. Payments are taken online by secure card transaction, and made at the point you choose to accept the new student. From that point, you will have their contact details and can manage the relationship the way that works best for you.
Am I tied into a subscription?
No, we are a pay-as-you-go service. This means that you only pay for the service that you use. If you you’d prefer to pay a subscription, let us know, as we want to ensure GoRoadie works for you.
What happens when my diary is full?
No problem. You can set yourself as "Fully Booked" and learners will no longer be able to request you, until you say otherwise.
Does GoRoadie manage my diary?
No. When we hand over the students details, you are in full control to manage them the way that works best for you.
What if a student doesn't show up for their first lesson?
Let us know, and the next request you receive is free to unlock. We want instructors to have a great experience, so we also make it our priority to get someone else in your car as soon as possible.
How does GoRoadie get me new students?
We use a combination of online advertising, flyers, press and high search engine ranking (Typically first page in Google, showing above Facebook, Yell and personal websites for areas we’ve been active in for a few months).
Why don't I advertise myself?
By using GoRoadie, you won’t need to think about it. We’re already advertising in your area, so why not only pay when someone is sitting in your car? You focus on teaching, we’ll focus on finding your business.
