WhatsApp message templates for driving schools
A driving school needs five utility templates and one marketing template. Lesson confirmation, lesson reminders, instructor-on-the-way, test-date confirmation and progress feedback are utility because they relate to lessons the learner already booked; a new-batch offer is marketing.
Driving lessons are booked one at a time and are easy to forget, especially when the pickup point moves between lessons. Each forgotten lesson is a wasted instructor hour. A confirmation when it is booked and a reminder when it is close removes most of them.

- Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
- Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
- Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
