About Midrive

Midrive began when a friend of the founder was learning to drive and couldn't find a driving instructor they liked. He started working on an app that would make life easier for both learners and driving instructors. In 2013, after showing the app to his boss and funding was found, they launched Midrive.

Now, Midrive have a team of 25 London-based staff and their free app has grown to include theory training, scheduling, lesson reports and more.

It was a shame as it did start really well and the instructor was good at his job just not committed to
