Dave Smith paid £350 for INV-014. 💰Bristol ADIs typically charge £32–£42 per hour, with the higher end concentrated around Clifton, Redland, and the wider BS8 catchment. The DVSA practical test centres at Avonmouth, Brislington, and Kingswood have widely varying pass rates that drive demand for centre-specific test prep. Block-booking packs of 10 or 20 hours are common; parents commonly pay for under-18 students with the student-on-behalf-of format being the default. The city's compact geography keeps most instructors working within a 10-mile radius — no significant multi-town spread compared to Birmingham or Manchester. Annual MTD for Income Tax filing from April 2026 onwards applies to most ADIs as sole traders with £30k+ income; Wedge's digital records cover the requirement automatically.

Sophie's mum wants to buy a 10-lesson block for Sophie's 17th birthday — £375 (£37.50/hr × 10). Sophie's mum is paying, Sophie is taking the lessons. Message Wedge: "Invoice Helen Carter £375 for a 10-lesson block for Sophie Carter, paid upfront, lessons to be used within 6 months." Wedge generates a PDF invoice with Helen as the bill-to party, the student's name on the work-description, and a Stripe payment link plus your bank details. Helen pays by card; £371.25 lands in your account, Wedge keeps £3.75. Sophie's lessons start that weekend — and every time you teach her, you message Wedge to log the lesson against the pack. When the 10 lessons are used up, Wedge prompts you to bill the next block. No subscription, no monthly fee.

Yes — every invoice, payment, and lesson log is stored as a digital record from the moment it's created. Your dashboard exports a CSV ready for any MTD-compatible filing software (FreeAgent, QuickBooks, Xero, or the Wedge-direct export). No spreadsheet reconstruction at year-end.
Yes — that's the default for under-18 and many over-18 student lessons. Just mention both names in the WhatsApp message: "Invoice [parent] for a 10-lesson block for [student]." The parent goes on the bill-to line, the student on the work-description. Both names appear clearly on the PDF.
Tell Wedge the pack size and total price ("10-lesson block, £375 upfront" or "5-lesson block, £200"). The invoice generates immediately with a Stripe link. As you teach each lesson, message Wedge — your dashboard tracks lessons used and lessons remaining. When the pack runs out, you get a prompt to invoice the next block.
Yes — add it as a separate line item: "Practical test fee (DVSA) — £62.00." Wedge shows it distinct from your lesson labour so the customer sees it isn't a markup. The test-fee line is zero-VAT (DVSA fees are outside the scope of VAT).
Yes. From April 2026, sole-trader ADIs with £30,000+ income need to file quarterly under MTD for Income Tax. Wedge keeps digital records of every invoice and payment automatically — exportable as CSV ready for your MTD-compatible filing software. No spreadsheet wrangling.
Yes — your bank details print on every invoice automatically alongside the Stripe link, so students can either tap-to-pay by card or use the sort code and account number for a free bank transfer. Bank transfers cost you nothing; Wedge only takes 1% on card or Pay-by-Bank payments.
Yes — add your ADI badge number once at sign-up and it prints in the footer of every invoice and lesson summary. Reassuring for parents doing due diligence; a clear signal you're a full Approved Driving Instructor and not a PDI on a trainee licence.
