This is an ibooka demonstration site for Driving Schools of all kinds.    The first thing that users would do is reconfigure (or ask ibooka to reconfigure for free) their ibooka site to look like own web site.  This is a simple task and we are delighted to help by performing this for you.

Now you are ready to see how easy it it for your customers or potential customers to book their driving lessons though ibooka.   You can hold back certain times from being available for booking and manage driving courses and theory lessons with ibooka.

Please note that this demo has a "local time" of the UK (GMT), in live systems the "local time" is configured to the local time desired by customers.  Therefore, in this demo, if you are in a different timezone you may find that the booking availability on the current day appears out of step with your local time.

Please Contact ibooka for a free, no obligation consultation regarding your specific requirements.

The ibooka system is an online internet based booking system that each driving instructor or school controls (locally or centrally), it allows their customers to choose and select lessons and other services that they have made available to them.

A driving instructor taking a call (hands-free of course) from a prospective student, arranging or re-arranging a booking for another lesson could very well be the most dangerous thing that could happens on the roads.  However, driving instructors often have to be available to take a call at all times or risk missing that important new customer or next booking.

Even if the instructor does not answer a phone call or even has his phone turned off during lessons, then there is still an expensive and time consuming message pick up and call back to the customer/prospective customer with the inevitable game of telephone tag that follows. It is equally frustrating for independent driving instructors to receive calls from students late into the evenings and larger driving schools with separate offices that take booking are simply shut after 6pm.

So why don’t driving schools and independent driving instructors have online reservation systems that their customers could use? Bookings could be made without the phone call to the office or the instructor, could be made at 1am in the morning if desired, just as a college assignment is finished or night out with friends is over (the perfect time to make a booking for most young people learning to drive). 

To offer a booking system to customers and potential customers across the internet has many advantages, it frees up staff, you never miss a call from someone wanting to book a lesson and driving instructors never have to take a call while taking a lesson.  However, online reservations systems are usually expensive, need specialised IT staff, need investments in computer equipment and take too long to implement when most driving instructors want to do is focus on what they know and have that unique experience in  - teaching people to drive !.

ibooka has changed this paradigm and your customers can book (and if you select, pay in full or a deposit, securely and direct to the driving school via credit/debit card) through the secure web site.  It is a great service and differentiator but best of all only costs a few pennies (just a little more than the cost of a phone call from a potential customer to the instructor or driving school) per booking and no other costs
