For Australian driving schools and instructors · Built in Australia
Booking software for driving schools — SMS reminders, lesson packages, and a diary per instructor.
Learners book and reschedule their own lessons, get a text before each one, and work through a package you sold up front. Each instructor keeps their own diary. Flat monthly fee from A$24.99, no commission, and the SMS reminders are included rather than an add-on.

The problem
What driving schools struggle with
- A no-show that costs the full hour — the instructor drove there and the car sat idle
- Lesson bookings arranged by text, then lost in the thread
- Learners who bought ten lessons, with the count kept in somebody’s head
- Each instructor’s availability living in a separate diary nobody else can see
- Cancellations leaving a gap that could have been filled by the next learner waiting
- Chasing payment for a lesson already taught
With Trimsy
What changes
- An SMS before every lesson, so the learner is at the kerb when you arrive
- Learners booking and rescheduling themselves, inside the hours you set
- Packages sold up front, with the remaining lessons counted automatically
- One view across every instructor’s diary, bookable by the right learner
- A waitlist that fills a cancellation without a round of phone calls
- Payment taken at booking or on the day, with a GST receipt sent on its own
Why it matters
A no-show costs a driving school more than most businesses
When a learner does not show, a hairdresser loses a chair. A driving school loses the hour, the fuel, and the instructor who drove across town to a kerb nobody was standing on. That is why two of the three most common searches in this trade name text reminders specifically — instructors are not looking for software, they are looking for the thing that stops the empty hour. An automatic SMS before each lesson is the single feature that pays for the subscription, and it is in the plan rather than priced as an extra.
Packages are the other half. Most schools sell lessons in fives and tens, and most count them in a notebook or a head — which is how a learner ends up with an eleventh lesson nobody charged for. Sell the pack once and let the balance count itself down.

Everything a driving school needs, in one tool
Reminders that cut no-shows, packages that track themselves, and a diary per instructor.
SMS lesson reminders
An automatic text before each lesson, from an Australian number. Included in the plan, not charged as an extra.
Lesson packages
Sell five or ten lessons as one fixed-price pack; the balance counts down as they are used, without a tally in a notebook.
Online booking
Learners book and reschedule in the hours you make available — no texting back and forth to find a time.
A diary per instructor
Each instructor has their own availability and bookings; the office sees all of them in one place.
Recurring lessons
A learner on the same slot each week is booked once, not re-booked every week.
Waitlist
When a lesson is cancelled, the next learner waiting is notified automatically and the slot refills.
Learner details
Licence number, permit expiry and notes captured at booking through a form you design.
Payments
Take card at booking or on the day through Stripe or Square. 0% commission — you pay their rate and nothing to us.
GST invoices
Receipts and invoices with your ABN, sent automatically.
What it costs
From $24.99 a month.
