Driving-hour packages with an automatically tracked balance

A student buys a package (10, 20 or 30 hours), every confirmed lesson deducts from the balance automatically, and you always know exactly how many hours each student has left.

Selling driving hours one at a time means manual bookkeeping, paperwork and endless "how many hours do I have left" conversations. With 4driving you define hour packages (say 10h, 20h, 30h), split by category (B, BE, C, D) and gearbox type (manual/automatic), each with its own price. A student buys a package online or at the front desk, and from then on every confirmed lesson from the booking system deducts an hour from the balance automatically — no manual math, no paper logs. When a balance drops below a threshold (say 2 hours left), both the student and the front desk get a renewal notification, so lessons don’t grind to an abrupt halt. Reports show, in real time, how many hours each student has used, how many active packages exist, and revenue by category.

  • Configurable packages by hour count (10h/20h/30h/custom), category and gearbox type.
  • Hour balance updated automatically on every confirmed lesson or late cancellation.
  • Automatic notification to the student and the front desk when hours run out or drop below a threshold.
  • Different pricing per package, category and manual/automatic gearbox.
  • Online or front-desk payment, with automatic receipt/confirmation.
  • Full history: which lessons consumed the hours, with which instructor and car.
  • Reports: hours consumed, active packages, revenue by category and period.

How hours get deducted from a package

On buying a package, the student sees an hour balance in their account. Every time a scheduled lesson is confirmed and completed, one hour (or the lesson’s actual duration) is deducted from the balance automatically. If a lesson is cancelled within the allowed window, the hour stays in the balance; for a late cancellation, you can configure the hour to be forfeited — exactly like a booking deposit.

Different packages for different needs

Not every student needs the same number of hours: some arrive with prior experience from another school, others start from zero. Define as many packages as you like — from the legal minimum up to an extended one for more nervous students — each with its own price for the chosen category and gearbox type. You can also sell individual extra hours outside a package, for when a student needs a bit more than the minimum.

Renewals without losing track of a student

When a student’s balance drops below the threshold you set, you get an automatic notification — and so does the student. That avoids a student "disappearing" simply because they ran out of hours and didn’t know how to buy more, with the front desk noticing too late.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have separate packages for manual and automatic gearbox?

Yes. Every package is defined by category (B, BE, C, D) and gearbox type, with its own price. Students buy exactly the package that matches what they picked at enrolment.

What happens if a student cancels a lesson?

If the cancellation is within the allowed window (configurable, e.g. 24 hours ahead), the hour stays in the balance and the lesson can be rebooked. Outside the window, you can configure the hour to be forfeited.

Can the student see their own remaining hours?

Yes, their account shows the balance updated in real time, plus a history of lessons already consumed from the package.

Can I sell extra hours, not just full packages?

Yes. Alongside standard packages, you can add individual hours to a balance — handy when a student needs slightly more than the legal minimum.

Do the reports show revenue by category?

Yes. You see how many packages are active, how many hours were consumed and how much revenue came in, broken down by category (B, BE, C, D) and period.
