There’s nothing worse than a last minute cancellation!
This is a problem that costs our industry around £180million a year in lost revenue, not to mention the sheer inconvenience to driving instructors having to try and fill a slot at short notice to maintain their weekly earnings.
Simply by using YooDrive, you make this problem go away.
When a booking is created, your client’s payment is automatically pre-authorised to take the booking payment (much like booking a hotel stay), a breach of the booking terms and 24hr cancellation policy means you will be paid for the booking having been left with too little time to arrange to fill that slot.
Your time is valuable. We’ve got your back!
