For independent driving schools
Parents book themselves, so your phone rings less.
A student cancels at 12:40. The next one on your cancellation list gets the offer.
Driving school scheduling software that takes booking, changes and reminders off your phone. Students book their own lessons and get a reminder the day before. When a student cancels, the next family on your waitlist within a geographic proximity gets the offer.

What WheelPlanner does
Scheduling software for driving schools.
Cancellation list offers.
A student cancels, and the next student on your cancellation list gets the offer in the app and by email. One tap takes the slot, and the app checks the drive to and from the lessons around it. No phone calls.
Students book themselves.
Booking, rescheduling, and reminders happen without you. Your evenings come back.
Your state's rules, with the blanks showing.
Rules for 51 jurisdictions, the 50 states plus DC, are loaded: the daily behind-the-wheel cap, whether the permit has to be in hand, and the completion certificate. Where a rule isn't settled, the app shows you the blank and asks you to confirm it.
Every lesson and instructor for the whole school, in one calendar.
A student cancels, and the next student on the waitlist gets the offer.
Students pick a date and book their own lessons. No phone calls.

Pricing questions and the price lock →For independent schools
You teach. You answer the phone. You own the schedule. The whole price is on this page, there's no contract to sign, and you set it up yourself, not on a sales call. Staying independent shouldn't mean staying on a whiteboard.
Why I built this
I still teach behind-the-wheel part-time. I watched schools run on whiteboards, spreadsheets, and late-night phone calls. So I built the scheduling tool I wished my school had.
Sign up and you set it up yourself: add your instructors, publish their availability, and bring in your existing students from a spreadsheet or a photo of the paper roster. You start with a 30-day free trial, card at signup, nothing charged until day 30, cancel anytime.

Questions owners actually ask
How much does driving school scheduling software cost?
WheelPlanner is $49/month, which includes your first instructor, plus $20 for each additional instructor. No setup fee, no per-student fees, no minimums. Taking card payments from parents? Parents pay through your own Stripe account. Stripe charges its standard fee, and WheelPlanner keeps 2.5% of each payment.
Is there driving school software with pricing on the website?
Yes, you just read it. $49/month plus $20 per additional instructor, published right here. No calling anyone for a quote.
Will my price go up?
No, not while you stay subscribed. $49/month plus $20 per additional instructor is your price for as long as your subscription stays active. The lock ends if you cancel, or if a payment fails and isn't fixed. If you cancel and come back later, you start at the price on the website that day. It is written into the Terms of Service, Section 3, so the page and the agreement say the same thing. Start your free trial before January 15, 2027 and your price is $49/month + $20 per additional instructor for as long as you stay subscribed. From January 15, 2027, new schools pay $79/month + $20 per additional instructor.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. The terms you accept at signup are the agreement. Cancel anytime.
How do driving schools fill cancelled lessons?
Usually by phone. Someone works down a list hoping to catch a student in time. In WheelPlanner, with the Automatic setting on, which is how new schools start, a student cancels and the next family on your cancellation list gets the offer in the app and by email. One tap takes the slot. No calls.
Is there waitlist software for driving schools?
That's WheelPlanner's headline feature. When a student cancels, the next family on your waitlist within a geographic proximity gets the offer. It arrives in the app and by email, and one tap takes the slot. It was built for driving schools from day one, not bolted onto a generic booking calendar. New schools start with a 30 minute drive limit, and you can pick 15, 30 or 45 minutes, or no limit, in Settings.
How long does setup take?
It depends on how many instructors and students you have. Add your instructors, publish their availability, and bring in your existing students from a spreadsheet or a photo of the paper roster.
Does it work for schools with one instructor?
Yes. $49/month, and the first instructor is included in the base price.
Does it work in my state?
Yes. All 51 jurisdictions are loaded, and your school runs on the rules of the state it is licensed in: the daily behind-the-wheel cap, whether the permit has to be in hand, and the shape of the completion certificate. Where the rule for your state is not settled, the app shows you the blank and asks you to confirm it rather than guessing.
Is my student data safe?
Your school owns its data. See the privacy policy.
Who do I contact with a question or a problem?
Email support@wheelplanner.com. Questions, problems and billing all go to that one address.
