Your business, supported

Choose the hours that work for you.

You set your availability in the diary. Our customer service team helps manage bookings around it.

Coastwide provides administration services to driving schools, so you can retain your business and decide how much teaching to take on. Lesson demand and bookings vary; setting your hours does not guarantee a full diary.

The work behind each lesson

Driving instructor support, with people you can talk to.

A student issue or a booking problem can follow you home after the last lesson. There are people here to help you work through it.

  1. Someone to discuss a concern with

    Contact our dedicated general manager to discuss concerns and work through issues. We also work to arrange face-to-face help when needed.

  2. Administration and student contact

    Our administration team provides a professional contact point for students and helps with student issues. We manage the online booking system, student payments and driving test bookings.

  3. Booking-platform training and induction

    We help you learn the booking system and use it to manage your availability. The administration service also includes invoicing lesson sales for GST management where required.

An instructor's perspective

April reflects on 18 years with Coastwide.

April retired at the end of 2025 after a long career as a driver trainer. For the final 18 years, she chose Coastwide as her business partner.

In these videos, she reflects on the standards, reputation and business support that mattered to her. Her account includes her own experience of improved lesson numbers. It describes April's experience, rather than predicting results for another instructor.

Marketing and lesson numbers

April discusses marketing, brand management and the effect on her business.

What could your driving instructor business receive?

The number of lessons you complete affects your business receipts. This example uses the published average lesson payment of $68.25, including GST. At 15 completed lessons per week, the illustration is $1,023.75.

It is an illustration, not a guaranteed income. Confirm current lesson payments, fees and the assumptions that apply to your business with the Coastwide team.
