Commission-free booking software for driving instructors. Give clients a link that shows your real availability, takes the deposit and fills the gaps you would otherwise spend the evening filling by message.
Driving lessons need travel time between pupils that a plain diary never leaves room for. Retveno adds that gap to every lesson automatically so the next pickup is realistic.

Built for appointments
Set each staff member's weekly hours and time off once, and your own booking link does the rest. Customers pick a service, a person or "any available", a day and a time — days you are closed are greyed out, times already taken are struck through, and two people can never take the same slot.
Give every service a cleanup buffer and the next booking simply cannot land in it. A 30-minute cut with a 15-minute buffer keeps the chair busy until the room is genuinely ready.
Take a deposit per service through your own Stripe account, and let automatic email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders cut the no-shows. Both are part of the plan, not paid add-ons.
Back-to-back lessons across a town only work if the diary knows you need twenty minutes to get from one pickup to the next. Retveno gives every instructor their own weekly hours and time off, and maps each service to the people who can actually perform it. A client picks the person they want — or "any available" — and only ever sees times that person is genuinely free.
Every service carries its own duration, price, deposit and cleanup buffer. The buffer is held after the appointment as well as before it, so two bookings can never quietly erase the gap between them — the mistake that makes a diary look fine at nine and hopeless by noon.
Driving lessons have a constraint almost no other trade shares: the appointment does not end where the next one starts. You finish across town from your next pupil and need twenty minutes to get there, so a diary that packs lessons nose to tail is describing a day that cannot physically happen.
A missed hour at €35 is worse than it looks, because you have usually already driven to the pickup. Reminders the evening before catch most of it, and for the longer bookings — mock tests especially — a deposit on that service is the straightforward protection.
Set a deposit per service and it is collected at booking through your own Stripe account — Retveno takes no cut. Switch on auto-confirm and a booking confirms itself the moment the deposit lands, or straight away when no deposit is due. Automatic email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders go out before the appointment either way.
Add yourself as the staff member and your lesson lengths, then put your travel time into each lesson's buffer — that single field is what makes the rest of the diary honest. Publish the hours you drive in, mark test days as time off, and the page stops booking you two pickups that could never both happen.
Put it in the service's buffer. Retveno holds the buffer after the lesson as well as before it, so a sixty-minute lesson with a twenty-minute buffer keeps you unbookable for eighty and the next pickup is one you can actually reach.
No. They open your booking link, pick a service and a time, and leave a name plus an email or a phone number — either is enough. There is nothing to download and no account to create.
Yes. Weekly hours and time off are set per person, and each service lists who can perform it, so availability is always calculated against the individual rather than the business.
None. You pay a flat monthly price per staff member and nothing per booking. Deposits go to your own Stripe account, where only Stripe's standard card fee applies.
