For UK driving instructors
By law you can't use a handheld phone while supervising a learner, so every call that comes in mid-lesson goes unanswered, and that pupil usually books someone else. Vocalenda answers your number 24/7, books lessons straight into your calendar, and texts the pupil a confirmation, from your own business number.

Booked: 2-hour lesson, Fri 20 Mar, 9:00am with Drive with Sam. Need to change it? Just call this number back.
Don't take our word for it: call the demo line and book a fake appointment. The demo diary belongs to a barbershop, but the manner, the booking flow and the confirmation text are exactly what your pupils would get.
Set up in minutes, not days
1
Sign in with 
Google or 
Outlook. Vocalenda reads your real diary, the same one you already run your lessons from. Nothing to migrate.
2
Lesson lengths, prices, the areas you cover, when you're free. Ten minutes, once. Change it whenever you like.
3
Forward your existing number or hand out your new one. From then on, every call gets answered, even from the driver's seat.
What it handles
Pupils get an answer on the first try, the diary fills itself, and anything it can't handle is waiting for you on your dashboard before the call ends. Everything a great receptionist does at the front desk, it does from the driver's seat, around the clock.

The maths is short
A learner books 40–50 hours before test. At £36–40 an hour, one new pupil is worth £1,400 or more, and the ones who reach voicemail just ring the next instructor who picks up. Vocalenda is £49 a month. That's about one lesson.
Pricing
No tiers to compare, no per-minute meter running while your caller decides between Tuesday and Thursday. £49 a month on the founding rate, locked for the first ten businesses, and you can leave whenever you like.

An honest note
We won’t invent testimonials. Instead: the first three businesses willing to share their real numbers get 60 days free in total, the usual 30-day trial doubled. And every founding business (the first ten) keeps the £49 rate for as long as they stay subscribed.

The founding ledger
Ten founding seats at £49, locked.
Two seats are taken; eight are open today. Three of the ten carry the 60-day results deal, and those numbers will be published right here, nothing invented in the meantime.
Questions
As you'll know, it's illegal to use a handheld phone while supervising a learner, so mid-lesson that call would otherwise go straight to voicemail. Vocalenda answers on your behalf, checks your diary, and books the lesson, all without you touching your phone. It lands straight in your diary, and the pupil gets a text, so you know it happened.
