Drive Safe, by GIC, helps drivers to become even better on the road.

Features & Capabilities

Drive Safe, developed by General Insurance of Cyprus (GIC), is an innovative Chrome extension designed to help drivers improve their road behavior and promote eco-friendly driving. Using mobile phone sensors and location services, it records each journey and provides a comprehensive driving score between 0 and 100 based on speed, phone use while driving, braking, acceleration, and night driving hours.

After every trip, users receive detailed feedback highlighting areas for improvement. Over time, drivers can track their progress and compare their performance with others, incentivized by potential insurance discounts upon renewal. Drive Safe is optimized for minimal battery consumption and respects user privacy, ensuring all personal data is protected in compliance with GDPR. It operates effectively without continuous internet connection but recommends Wi-Fi or data for optimal logging.
