My favourite part of being on an AA franchise is having the flexibility & freedom of being self-employed, whilst also having the security & support in case I need it

If you’re an independent driving instructor, the job of setting up a driving school is entirely up to you. Joining a franchise means that a lot of the admin work is taken out of your hands, plus you’re supplied with a car. And most franchisees have the backing of an established brand.
Which route you take is down to you. Many like the challenge of building a brand, and controlling all aspects of the business. But others prefer to pay a weekly fee in return for having a reliable vehicle maintained on their behalf, while not having to worry about the admin.
With our Solo package, it’s possible to have the best of both worlds. The vehicle is supplied and looked after, yet unbranded. This means you can build your driving school’s brand, while knowing that your vehicle will be kept on the road. This means you don’t have to spend time and money on maintenance and repairs. Instead, you pay one fixed weekly fee, and the only variable cost is your fuel.
If you’ve just qualified as an ADI, getting pupils is one of the first challenges you’ll face. Whereas if you’re an All-Inclusive franchisee, you’ll have access to an uncapped supply of pupils.
Plus driving instructors are in massive demand at the time of writing. And this is the case nationwide. SoSo, no matter where you live in the UK, now’s a great time to become a driving instructor.
We supply franchisees with a brand-new, top-spec car each time they renew their contract, typically every one to two years.
As a franchise instructor, you have a whopping 48,750 miles that you can clock up. You do have to get your car serviced after you’ve reached a certain mileage though, which will depend on your car make and model. The good news is that we’ll sort out the service for you too.
Even as part of the All-Inclusive franchise, it’s important to note that you’re your own boss. This means you’re completely in charge of managing your time and diary. So, if you need to take time off, it’s on you. It’s always a good idea to manage your pupils’ expectations though, so be sure to give them as much notice as you’re able.
You certainly will. And with a choice of 7 manufacturers and over 20 models, we’re sure you’ll find something which suits you down to the ground. See our driving instructor vehicle choice .
