We are here to help

Our Service is to provide a simple, safe, secure and convenient platform to assist you to become a competent and confident driver. ADI Motoring takes on the responsibility of marketing driving lessons, the Service, on behalf of our Instructors, accepting payment on their behalf and facilitating for the ongoing relationship with you.

Booking lessons

When you make a booking through our Website, you choose your own instructor from those operating near your location and select a driving lesson package. After sign up and payment you will receive notifications to confirm the receipt of payment and of your first booking and all future bookings you make through the platform. You will also receive lesson reminders and notifications to lesson changes from the platform on behalf of your driving instructor.

For security reasons we do not take credit or debit card information over the phone. Once you make payment you will receive notifications to confirm the receipt of payment, your platform login credentials and confirmation of your first booking. You can then use your login to manage all future bookings you make. You will also receive lesson reminders and notifications to lesson changes from the platform on behalf of your driving instructor.

You can then use your login details to manage all your future bookings with your Driving Instructor. You will also receive lesson reminders and notifications to lesson changes from the platform on behalf of your driving instructor.

In using our Website you acknowledge that you are aware of and accept that if you fail to provide notice to your driving instructor 48 hours prior to the scheduled lesson, the amount for the driving lesson will be forfeited entirely.
