The Concept
A driving instructor franchise from the British School of Motoring, with a car and pupil supply
BSM, the British School of Motoring, says it has been working with driving instructors for more than 100 years. It is now a trading name of Automobile Association Developments Ltd, the company behind AA Driving School, and offers franchise packages to approved and trainee driving instructors across the UK.
Instructors can choose a dual-control car package on its own, or a more comprehensive package that adds pupil introductions and a pupil and diary management app. Both include vehicle maintenance, insurance and MOT, and a mileage allowance of 48,750 miles a year.
Two packages, one weekly fee
BSM offers its packages on one or two-year leases, with a 12-week notice period before the end of the term. A non-refundable admin fee and a refundable deposit are payable on sign-up.
An office team supports instructors with day-to-day queries and helps them manage and grow their business. Because BSM and AA Driving School share the same owner, their franchise packages and prices are the same.
