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.

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

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.

Easy to use but sometimes so sensitive…about using phone

Easy to use but sometimes so sensitive about phone that did not use phone but app record that I use phone, sometimes phone in pocket or many times that still not driving or already arrived destination car already stopped then moved phone out app record that I used phone.

Great experience

A lovely application that is very useful and easy to use and makes it easier for insurance providers to have an overview about our driving habits and it makes it fair for all. I am so happy to have found a cheapest deal through them and highly recommend them for getting a good price on car insurance if you generally drive well and are looking to lower your insurance costs especially for pretty new drivers like me!!!

Makes you more aware of your driving habits!

I'd seen drive score on an ad on my phone so I thought I'd give it a try out of curiosity to see how it rated my driving.
I ended up keeping the ap and it has so far helped me get lower car insurance because of my high score.
I'm a good enough driver normally but this has improved on my driving because you know it records your every move while driving, and I also like to see how high I can get the score.
I had to send my phone away to get repaired and the old phone I used didn't have a gyroscope and I missed having it.

Great idea—but it just doesn't work.

I think the app is a good idea but it just doesn't work very well.
It doesn't record all of my journeys, it only seems to record fragments, parts of journeys. (And before anybody says it, yes I've granted it full persimmon for background running and I've always got it connected to the charger in the car).
Furthermore, to actually get your insurance quotes (which is really the point of the app) you have to click a link to upload your licence, so you click it and it takes you to a website where the simply isn't any option to upload your licence. So you can't get your quote anyway.
It also offers to provide cheaper quotes for car finance but it can't find my credit score even though I've been living in the same house for 12 years.

Hi there,

Thanks for your review and for letting us know that it only records fragments of your journeys despite having full background permissions and being connected to the charger.

We would love to help with your credit score and offers queries. Could you please email us at feedback@drivescore.com?

Many thanks,

Seriously flawed..

Having used the app previously, decided to use it again since my insurance is coming around again in a few months.

Quite annoying really.. I reinstalled it and used it for a full week, driving was spot on, no issues and yet my score didn't increase once.. touched the break a tiny little bit too much once and it drops by 25 points.. it's not rewarding good driving only punishing you if you do something even slightly wrong..

I never speed, I drive very carefully. On another occasion I had a bin waggon pull out in front of me from a side street, apparently I was wrong for applying the breaks a little. A good driver would have smashed into the side of the bin waggon, I assume..

Seriously flawed..

Hi there,

Thanks for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback about the DriveScore app.

We know that there are a lot of factors that aren't accounted for in the real world. So we monitor your driving patterns instead of focusing on individual events that happen. We calculate your driving score on our app, using information like the speed and force involved in these events. We do this by capturing information about your driving behaviour and your vehicle location.

If you need more clarity on this, please email us at feedback@drivescore.com.

Many thanks,
Leo

Not accurate enough

Not accurate enough, do not like the idea of being tracked everywhere I go.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback.

It might be worth logging out of the app for those drives so that they’re not recorded. Just remember to log back in before getting behind the wheel again!

We would love to sort this out for you. Could you please email us at feedback@drivescore.com?

Many thanks,

Pat

Not worthy

I'm a little disappointed as I used DriveScore for a year and I managed to get a hard score of 989. Then I get a quote for insurance and it was more expensive than without this score. Not worthy to use it.

Overall a great little program

Overall a great little program, there are how ever a few little niggles that personally i would change. The app is accurate on most roads as far as speed limits, so far i have had no issues there, i ride a motorcycle and sometimes this entails a quick acceleration to go past, round an object, vehicle or situation, the app records this in a negative mode, for those out there who know the highway code we are allowed to accelerate briefly over the limit to avoid these previously mentioned items. That being said i would recommend this not only for any benefits financially but for continuous monitoring something many people dont do after passing a test and throwing away those L plates. Give it a go it cant hurt you and you may become a better driver/rider for it

The app was very glitchy and only…

The app was very glitchy and only recorded parts of journeys. The app claimed I was speeding but it had the speed limit for that particular road incorrect. My son holds my phone while I drive and the app wrongly thought I was touching it while driving. The app couldn't tell the difference between a car and a train or bus. There's far better ways to correctly monitor your driving and of the bunch I've tested this was without doubt the poorest performer on every level.

We would love to look into this for you. Could you please email us at feedback@drivescore.com?

Not all that!!

Great app to hone driving score and does help to get you thinking about how you drive but......
As for saving money on car insurance! watch out, they limit their search and when you get quotes from expensive companies, that they then get savings on, the net effect is far bigger than it would have been just shopping around anyway. Bit of a con really, sadly
