For driving instructors
Book more lessons. Answer fewer messages.
Share one link. UrgeQ answers your pupils from your own rates, areas and rules, takes the booking, and puts it straight in your diary.
TESTINGiPhone, free while it runsThe UrgeQ diary: a week of lessons with their payment status, a briefing naming an unanswered enquiry and an unpaid deposit, and the follow-up message the app writes for chasing that deposit.
Built for one job
Setting up is telling the app how you already work: your rate, your working days, the test centres you cover, the postcodes you pick up from and the rules you repeat every week. Ten minutes, once. After that it answers for you.
And honest about the rest
A new account knows nothing, and says so. It will not guess a price, promise a slot you have not opened, or name a test centre you do not cover. Where you have not told it, it hands the question back to you rather than making something up.
Read the common questionsA demo conversation with a driving instructor’s booking assistant. A pupil asks about Saturday availability, prices, pickups and cancellations, and the assistant answers from the instructor’s own published rules.
Real replies, not a recording: every answer is worked out live from a demo instructor’s own rates, areas and rules.
Answering pupils
Your rules, in your words, at any hour.
The assistant is given what you published and nothing more: your rate, your areas, your centres, your free slots and the rules you wrote. Not your bank details.
- It quotes your cancellation terms as you typed them
- It never offers a slot that is booked or in the past
- It passes anything it was not told straight to you
Your diary
Tick a single day off without touching your week.
A holiday, a hospital appointment, a Friday you want back. Tick that one date off and pupils stop being offered it, while the rest of your working pattern stays exactly as it was.
- Working days set once, exceptions set per date
- Slots that have already passed today stop being offered
- Deposits, pupils and test bookings all in one list
One link does the work
A page for you, and a QR code to match.
Stick it on the car, drop it in your bio, send it to anyone who messages asking about lessons. Pupils need no app and nothing to install.
- Every enquiry records where it came from
- Name, phone and email captured before they leave
- Publishing is a switch you control
What your pupil sees
They scan the code, and they are booking.
No app to download, no account to make, no back and forth. Your free times are the ones in your diary, so the slot they pick is a slot you actually have.
- Only your working days and your open slots are offered
- A taken slot is never shown, and never double booked
- Your deposit terms are quoted before they confirm
- Bank details go by email afterwards, never on the page
The pupil’s booking page: pick a day from the instructor’s free dates, choose a time, leave a name and number, and the booking is confirmed with the deposit details sent by email.
Nobody slips through
The chasing message is already written.
Deposit unpaid, no reply, test coming up, a lesson that needs rearranging. Pick the reason and the message comes out with their name, their slot and your amount already in it. Send it by email or text.
- It records that you chased, and when
- The draft never contains your bank details
- Every booking and every enquiry has one
What pupils actually ask.
Every answer comes from your settings. Where you have not told it, it says so and hands the question to you.
Have you got anything Saturday morning?
Reads your working days, your day ticks and what is already booked.
How much for two hours?
Quotes your rate, and your deposit if you take one.
Do you pick up from N3?
Checks the postcodes you cover and says so plainly if you do not.
Can you take me to Mill Hill for my test?
Only names the test centres you actually cover.
What happens if I cancel?
Quotes your notice period back, in your words.
Do you teach automatic?
Answers from your profile rather than guessing.
Straight answers.
Does it invent answers?
No. It answers from what you have written down and nothing else. A brand new account knows nothing, so it says so and offers to pass the question to you. Your rates, rules and areas are the only source it has.
Can it double book me?
It cannot. Availability is worked out from your working days, the individual days you have ticked off, your slot times and the bookings already in the diary. A slot that is taken is never offered, and a booking landing on the same slot twice is rejected.
Do pupils see my bank details?
Only after they have booked, and only if you take payment by transfer. Nothing on the public page carries your sort code or account number, and neither does the assistant.
What about pupils who never reply?
Every booking and every enquiry has a follow up. Pick the reason, the app writes the message using their name and their slot, and sends it by email or text. It records that you chased, so you are not guessing later.
Do I need a website?
No. The link you share is your page. It works on any phone, needs no app on the pupil side and nothing to install.
What does it cost?
It is in testing. Instructors joining now help decide what gets built next and are not being charged while that runs.
