Dave Smith paid £350 for INV-014. 💰Edinburgh ADIs typically charge £32–£42 per hour, with higher rates concentrated around the New Town and the wealthier southern suburbs (Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont). The DVSA practical test centres at Currie and Musselburgh have notably different pass rates — local instructors usually specialise in one centre's routes. Block-booking packs are common; the student-on-behalf-of-parent flow is the default for under-18 lessons. Scotland's licensing rules differ from England (no L-plate exemption on motorways for learners, for example) but invoicing format follows UK-wide ADI conventions. Annual MTD for ITSA applies to sole-trader ADIs with £30k+ income from April 2026 — Wedge keeps the digital records 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 — "Invoice Helen MacKenzie £375 for a 10-hour pack for Sophie, paid upfront, to be used within 6 months" generates a complete PDF invoice with both names, the pack terms in the description, and a Stripe payment link. Helen pays by card or bank transfer; you log each lesson against the pack as you teach it.
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.
