Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers praise the app for its ability to track driving habits, provide insights for improvement, and potentially lead to lower insurance premiums. Many users appreciate the detailed driving feedback and the motivation it provides to become a safer driver. The app is often described as easy to use, working unobtrusively in the background, and offering useful ancillary features like fuel price comparisons. However, some people were dissatisfied with the app's accuracy, particularly regarding phone usage detection while being a passenger or misinterpreting acceleration and braking events. A few other people also felt that the insurance quotes offered through the app were not always competitive, sometimes even being more expensive than those found on comparison websites.

Generally I really like this app. I think the scoring seems to be fairly accurate. There is is one major bugbear though and that's it can't distinguish between using your mobile phone if you're a... See more

Love the app but not sure if it takes driving in other countries into account. I'm in Cyprus and the speed limits are often judged wrongly and conering on tight mountain roads seems to go against you... See more

Unobtrusive, works in the background. Very kind about my driving so far! Have not yet tried using it to get a good insurance deal. There's also an option to search for the cheapest petrol/diesel price... See more

About DriveScore

Good Drivers Can Save Money on Car Insurance With DriveScore.

DriveScore is a new app that offers to help users prove and improve their driving skills, enabling them to save money on car insurance quotes and other products. DriveScore uses your phone's sensors to track how you drive, identifying where you could improve.

DriveScore monitors how you drive your car, giving you feedback and insight while building a score that can help you save money with better car insurance deals, by proving to insurers that you’re a good driver.

By putting users in control of data collected as they drive, DriveScore makes driving a safer, cleaner and fairer experience for all. DriveScore studies how you drive, analysing your driving behaviour, giving you valuable insight on your driving style and will directly help you save money on your car insurance.

DriveScore helps you to build better driving habits by offering you personalised driving tips and highlighting areas that you can improve.

FEATURES:

DRIVE
DriveScore automatically measures how you drive, turning your phone into a silent driving coach. It's easy to set up and runs in the background, distraction-free (and won’t drain your battery).

SCORE
Get your own DriveScore, see how you compare and track how your driving changes. See what’s positive and what to work on. Prove how well you drive.

SAVE
Make your miles go further by using DriveScore to shop for better car insurance. Use your score to get enhanced offers from our insurance partners and see if you can save. A smarter, fairer way to buy based on how you drive, not how insurers think you drive.

SEE
View the full details of your trip, including overall drive rating, insights, trip stats and the precise location of each driving event recorded.

FREE
Your data is always in your control and DriveScore will be FREE, forever.

Install DriveScore on your phone, the app will then use the functionality of your smartphone such as the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and GPS readings to determine when you are undertaking a ‘Trip’ in a vehicle.

DriveScore will use these tools to take and record measurements relating to your driving behaviour, including calculating speed, acceleration, braking, cornering and distance travelled.

Demonstrating lower-risk driving behaviour such as smooth cornering and acceleration will lead to a higher DriveScore, while actions such as sudden braking or excessive speeding will lead to a lower DriveScore.

These are some of the factors that insurers may consider when providing a quote for car insurance premiums. DriveScore offers you the opportunity to understand how your driving behaviour may impact the cost of your car insurance premium.

Take DriveScore for a spin, download the app now and help make car insurance fairer for millions of people.

Become a better driver today.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Not convinced after six weeks

While a nice, high number (850-940) in my case helps to reassure a driver that his or her driving is up to standard, does anyone else have misgivings when the app deducts 4 or 5 points every week for slow acceleration? Come on - what does this mean in a 20mph London suburb, when most of the journey is spent a few metres behind the car in front? Also, how many have had a similar number of points deducted for braking? I'm presumably not being penalised for using light pressure on the brake pedal and as I cannot remember the last time I did anything close to a sudden stop, you can understand my hesitation to give this app anything more than an average rating.

I had a score for 1 year of 937 and found cheaper quotes on the comparisons sites( sorry it was only nine mths). The app itself is not fully reliable if you use music through the phone it records it as using the phone while driving, the braking side of the app is unfair as it does not know the reasons for any heavy braking and automatically blames the user and reduces your score, I will not be using this app again this year dont be fooled by getting cheaper insurance it does not work the insurers obviously take no account of the app score.I also forgot to mention that answering calls by handsfree also is noted as using your phone while driving.

It’s good to check occasionally, but don’t expect insurance benefits.

Tried the app after getting my first speeding ticket in many years to see if it could improve my driving. It gives reasonable information of your driving fuel consumption etc. so I could see it helpful for new drivers and anyone trying to improve their driving, but as for the alleged benefits with insurance it didn’t live up to the hype, despite having an annual drive score of 930, my insurance offers through the app were no different to other insurance search apps, in fact 2 where more expensive. It’s good to check occasionally, but don’t expect insurance benefits.

Great encourager

I've been using DriveScore for several months and find it very encouraging to see that my driving is as good as I thought. It highlights areas for improvement and this helps to keep me on track and more mindful of my on-road activities. Highly recommended.

I don't write reviews often but feel that I should for drivescore as I have used it daily for a year or so now.

I got it last year just after my insurance was through the roof. I anticipated that if I used this for a year my insurance would be cheaper as I am not a bad driver... I have just been a bit unlucky.

Drivescore is good where it tells you which areas you could work on as a driver such as braking, acceleration etc.

Whilst using drivescore it had tracked drives I have done for about 7000 miles. I had a score of 977 out of 1000. This is the time I started looking for renewal quotes and I was a bit disappointed. I was getting the same quotes from other places if not cheaper on other comparison websites.

Drivescore hasn't saved me money as it has promised or seemed hopeful to do. I felt like I had wasted a lot of sharing my data for a whole load of nothing.

There is also limited insurance companies that use drivescore so you are just better off shopping about on other comparison websites rather than sharing your driving habits with the entire nation.

Drivescore good, don't force clearscore

Appreciated the drivescore app but after a week or so of straightforward use it seemed to want to force me to then sign up to a clearscore account and exclude the use of drivescore without the clearscore account.
