Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 183 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers warmly praise the application for making driving significantly safer and much more engaging through exciting weekly competitions and cash prizes. People also note that the software is very easy to use, simple to set up, and helps improve overall fuel economy. However, some customers also noted that the device can be overly sensitive during acceleration, particularly when joining busy roads or driving up hills. A few reviewers additionally felt that the audio alerts and system alarms can become rather distracting or irritating while navigating daily traffic.

Good although can get certain other drivers quite annoyed at slower acceleration to achieve a good score. We live in a fast- paced 'me' society!

Written by the company

Lightfoot has been specifically designed to help businesses run safer and more efficient fleets.​ Unlike traditional big-brother black boxes, Lightfoot is all about the driver, the human-in-the-machine, and the person with the power to make the difference. ​ Lightfoot empowers those in the driving seat to drive change by adapting their driving style through visual and audible prompts from our unique in-cab device. ​ When drivers adapt to Lightfoot's smoother driving style, they become 'Elite Drivers' (scoring 85% or above). For some drivers that’s a big change, for others a small change, for some it’s no change at all.​ ‘Elite Drivers’ receive benefits and rewards via the Lightfoot app, which includes features such as The Drivers Lottery where 1 in 10 ‘Elite Drivers’ win cash prizes every week - we are the world’s first technology to reward better driving.​ When a fleet as a whole achieves Elite status, this can result in reductions in fuel consumption and emissions of up to 15%, reductions accidents by up to 40% and wear and tear costs reduced by up to 45%. ​ Lightfoot is the only Insurer-endorsed driver safety technology thanks to validated accident reduction results seen over millions of miles of driving data. ​ Lightfoot is installed in 30k+ vehicles and is used by 50k+ drivers from more than 200 companies who are committed to safer, greener and more efficient motoring.​ If you are a business customer already using Lightfoot and require support, please contact your Account Manager or support@lightfoot.co.uk ​ ​ If you’re a Lightfoot driver – our Engagement Team would love to hear about your experience through driverrewards@Lightfoot.co.uk - the Engagement team are here exclusively to help you the drivers, not your employers. ​ We understand that changing years of driving habits can be challenging and even irritating at first. Remember, you don’t need to be perfect, the target is 85% not 100%, which gives you plenty of scope to drive in the amber and red when required and still achieve ‘Elite Driver’ status.​ We created our industry-first driver engagement platform – real cash, real rewards, real prizes, real winners – to ensure drivers are rewarded for challenge and inconvenience of adapting to Lightfoot. One in ten ‘Elite Drivers’ win cash prizes every week through The Drivers’ Lottery. ​ As a driver, you are one of more than 50,000 using Lightfoot. The vast majority of drivers are happy with the experience, but a tiny proportion (0.1%) have used this forum to express their displeasure. We hope that your experience has been a positive one and that you’re here just having a look around, but if you are frustrated and here to vent your rage then please instead contact our Engagement team via driverperks@Lightfoot.co.uk - the Engagement team are here exclusively to help you.. ​

Just like the normal lottery there is no guarantee that you will win, but we do ensure we always offer a 1 in 9 chance of winning no matter how many people are eligible. With a chance to win up to £100 every week, we do recommend that you keep entering as you could be the next big winner. We are happy to hear that you are pleased with the app, and find it easy to navigate.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Underwhelming experience.

The rewards I've recieved since we had lightfoot fitted years ago have been very small. I've been the top of our league at Tesco Hatfield for years. The acknowledgment at work for driving like a snail is non existent. Every time the golf ball goes in is underwhelming to say the least.

I am driving an automatic van

I drive an automatic van. Thus have very little control over rev counter, when I need to get to speed. So from standing starts, and wishing to merge and on slip roads to motorways, my revs must go up for safety. This incurs penalties for me. I have gone on the website to look for guanidine on this, as a driver, there's none that I can find. Also in these critical moments, I have thing tell me, which I can not just blank out thanks to having ADHD. So I find it highly distracting, please rethink your product, or give advice to automatic van drivers, who have little control over the rev counter.

Hello, thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that it's taking a while to get used to your Lightfoot device. Please remember that you are in control of the vehicle and should use your own best judgement to drive safely. Lightfoot does not measure your speed but the efficiency of your driving. There are times where you must drive inefficiently, for example joining a motorway from a slip road or at a roundabout. This is why we set the Elite Driver score at 85% to allow for real world situations. Your device should be positioned just outside of your eyeline, so you only need to glance at it occasionally as you would a speedometer or a satnav when you want to check your progress. If the position of the device is obstructing your view, please inform your manager so that this can be dealt with.

Hi Colin, unfortunately we just collate the data that your company send to us, so any incorrect journeys have been sent to us by your company. But by emailing into us at support@lightfoot.co.uk, with the vehicle registration and company you work for, then we can resolve this very quickly for you and your score will go back to how it was as well.
