About ACOFEL

Driving lessons,
without the
runaround.

We started ACOFEL because finding a great driving instructor in Australia was harder than it should be. Today, we connect 30,000+ learners with verified instructors in their area — quickly, safely, and without the hidden fees.

Our mission

Make learning to drive
simple, safe, fair.

Every Australian deserves access to a verified, accredited instructor without paying inflated prices, hunting for reviews, or playing phone tag with driving schools.

Our vision

The most trusted
driving marketplace
in Australia.

We're building a marketplace where instructors thrive, learners pass with confidence, and the road becomes safer for everyone — one lesson at a time.

What we stand for

Four values,
zero compromises.

Safety first, always

Every instructor is licensed, insured, and verified. No shortcuts. Ever.

Real care, real teaching

We hand-pick instructors who genuinely care about getting you road-ready, not just clocking hours.

Honest pricing

No hidden fees. The price you see is the price you pay. Instructors keep more of every booking.

Speed and simplicity

Find, book, and start lessons in minutes — not days of phone tag.
