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.

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.

Really good app, hope it does reduce insurance cost. Few things that I’ve noticed like others, very sensitive breaking and accelerating. I was driving like a little old lady on sedatives. Not one mark on speeding but marked down for breaking?? For one it wasn’t breaking hard and it’s really hard to avoid an accident if someone pulls out on you? What are you supposed to do? And for the acceleration mark down, when your trying to get onto a roundabout with a duel carriageway coming up from your right, if you don’t accelerate your going to have someone in the side of you very rapidly, very busy fast road. So I find this extremely unfair to knock points off for something that’s out of your control. It’s really frustrating 🤨 I’d like to see the sensitivity looked at so us good drivers don’t feel like we are being scrutinised for tiny things. If I keep getting points knocked off for driving carefully I’ll have to leave the app and rely on my 20 years no claim to get good insuranceMy point proven, 5 mile an hour to 12 miles an hour in 2.6 seconds is hardly hard acceleration, I could get out and run faster
Poor for narrow country roads

I thought I would give this a try but it doesn’t seem to be ready for use yet. If I am on Motorways and A roads my driving is scored well without any events. But I have a 4x4 SUV and I live in a rural area, so I usually drive on narrow Unclassified and B roads. I am a very steady driver often with elderly passengers; yet there are many times I have to briefly brake hard for hazards like an animal running out, or meeting oncoming vehicles where one of us has to reverse to pass each other.As an experiment I did a 100 mile journey including Exmoor with a friend and then we looked at the events reported on the app. Harsh acceleration was even recorded for driving up Dunkery Beacon! My friend was astounded at the reported harsh braking in particular. I think the problem is the app doesn’t account for road type and assumes national speed limit roads are wide enough for vehicles to pass each other. My average speed on narrow roads is 20mph or below and I really don’t think I should be driving any slower than I already am, which is the only way I might avoid “hard braking”.I have now kept this app on my phone over a month and the 2 week score over 50 drives amounts to about 400 miles giving me a score over 950. But when a single 4 mile drive can have 2 “harsh braking” events I can’t see how useful it is going to be. I shall be uninstalling it soon.
Misses drives and other issues

So I downloaded seemed a good idea and has a great conception It’s missed a few drives which is annoying Anyway passed the 150 miles today to generate my score 952 - some strange knock downs for harsh cornering which I have seen affects others I don’t harsh corner I can’t it’s a large people carrier So anyway the score 952 is great according to app and that gives me theee tickets to win the car However…. This is where it looks dodgy. All of a sudden my score here is 948 and may not match the dashboard ??? I’d get that if I had the app on for weeks or months and it was an average score For no known reason this score falls 2 points short and so I get two tickets. Moving on the whole point you get to save money on insurance by using the app Well you spend five minutes answering adding your no claims no conviction etc etc and boom. It’s not you it’s us we can’t find a policy for you So I’ve wasted my time and battery using an app I am promised rewards good drivers So now this app maybe pretty but just to adjust points for no reason to scam you out of a ticket and then the whole purpose of not being able to save money it’s pretty much a pretty screen complimenting you on driving let’s face it how you should by sticking within limits and not using your phone Shame it appeared a good idea. But it’s it ready for use yet Makes up silly accusations of cornering. Changes your score to just under the points required for tickets and can’t actually save you money Overall could of been a good app, if you want a compliment then yeah add it. If you wanna save money use a comparison site it quicker
Not worth the trouble

Well, I thought I would try this! It only records some of your journeys in the background! After you’ve completed you first 150 miles it starts to calculate, supposed to take 24 hrs mine was still calculating 48+ hours after completing my 150. Emailed and asked for help? My Emailed replied to sign out of app, did that then sign back in - couldn’t do that, wouldn’t accept my user name or password! Clear score informed again. Had another email from them asking me to let them know if it was working now, as developers had fixed it… still could not sign in, first instruction said delete and re install app, did that, still couldn’t sign in. I’ve given up! Update: I’ve got to admit everyone at clear score is trying to get me up and running. Hopefully it will be working 100% shortly!All sorted now, thanks to everyone who worked on getting this to workA good little tool!
