Why should you become a Red franchisee?

  • 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
  • We operate the critically acclaimed Road Brain Trainer and offer it free to all our pupils
  • We have an Instructor Services team with over 200 years of industry experience. Many members of the team are ADIs, available to help and support you when necessary.

The 2021 Driving Instructor Review was compiled by FBTC who are a specialist accountancy services provider to the driving instructor industry. This extract from their report compares the earnings of nearly 100 randomly selected RED Instructors with Independent Driving Instructors from across the UK.

“RED instructors earn 17% or £132 more each week than independent instructors. What’s more, the top 34% of RED Driving Instructors achieve a gross annual income of £50,000 or more.”
