Quotes for your driving school: from an evening chore to 10 minutes of work
With fixed packages, smart templates, and instant delivery, you win more students without sacrificing your evenings.
Why quoting takes so much time in a driving school
You get an email: "How much does a driving licence cost with you?" Then the calculations start. 30 lessons or 40? Include the progress test? Package B with the exam, or pay-as-you-go hours? Before you know it, an hour has passed and you still haven't sent anything. Meanwhile, the student has already contacted three other driving schools.
Work with standard line items
Most quotes contain the same building blocks. Set them up once:
- Practical lessons per hour (e.g. €60)
- Starter package: 10, 20, 30 or 40 lessons
- Progress test (TTT)
- Practical exam CBR
- Theory exam and course
- Resit and exam-anxiety test
- Additional costs such as the medical declaration
By saving these items with a price and description, you click a quote together instead of typing it from scratch.
Templates per student profile
Create three to five base packages: "Starter 20 lessons", "Average 30 lessons + exam", "Intensive course 2 weeks". For 80 per cent of your enquiries, a template with a small tweak is all you need. The remaining 20 per cent you adjust in two minutes.
Sending fast beats sending perfect
Research among service providers shows that responding within an hour significantly increases the chance of winning the job. For driving schools this is especially true: students want to get started, not wait. A quote that lands in the inbox right after the intake conversation — with a clear button to sign digitally — saves you a week of back-and-forth emails.
What you concretely gain
Do the maths: 5 quotes per week, each 45 minutes faster, adds up to nearly 4 hours back in your week. Time for extra lessons, or simply your evenings back. And because you come across as faster and more professional, your conversion rate typically rises by 15 to 30 per cent.
