Rated Driving

Rated Driving was born from a problem experienced by Co-Founder and COO, Kevin Tuffney. He wanted to become a driving instructor but found it impossible to find learner drivers without an existing network. Meanwhile, at the exact same time many learner drivers would have been struggling to find a good, local driving instructor. There are two sides of a market that are wanting want to find each other but a big, invisible fence is in the way. That’s the problem that we initially set out to solve – bringing transparency and simplicity to long-unchanged industry. We say initially, because only once walking down the path do you uncover so many more points of friction faced by learner drivers and instructors alike. Things such as hefty franchise fees paid by instructors or the lack of smartphone tools for learners to keep track of their lesson payments and scheduling.
