Driving instructor franchise

Why should you become a Red franchisee?

• Customers love RED. Just read our reviews
• 100% of our customers prepay. This means we collect the lesson fees on your behalf. It also means you don’t have to worry about not getting paid, haggling over prices or no-shows
• Our average prepaid customer books around eight hours. Our average customer takes around 30 lessons
• We don’t just claim that our lessons prices are premium – they are! We believe in delivering quality and value for our customers, not cheap lessons
• When you join us, you’ll go on a two-day business seminar, designed to make you more effective at managing your own business. (We assume you already know how to teach people to drive!)
• We operate a sophisticated online diary system to enable both you and our Contact Centre to manage bookings
• We have a range of RED branded clothing available that helps to identify you as an ADI
• We advertise on Google and other leading search engines, as well as maintaining a social media presence on the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, in order to attract new business for you
• We have partnerships with Auto Trader, Halfords, RAC, NUS, NHS and many more
