TRUST & SAFETY

Useful choice without giving up your privacy.

The marketplace reveals only what each side needs to make a decision.

For learners

Schools see your first name, age, outward postcode and lesson preferences—not your email or full postcode. Up to 20 schools can respond during the 48-hour window. You control the shortlist and final choice.

For schools

Schools provide business contact details, an ADI number and vehicle information. Approved profiles are marked verified, but learners should still confirm current credentials before paying or booking.

Fair bidding

Each school gets one opening offer and one lower revision. There is no endless race to the bottom. Suspended or unverified schools cannot bid.

Reports and moderation

Signed-in users can report an offer. The operator can review reports, suspend schools, close requests and remove verification from the private admin area.

Payments and contact

DrivingMarket does not collect lesson fees. Do not send money until you have confirmed who you are dealing with and understood the school’s booking and cancellation terms. Contact details are released only after an offer is accepted.
