Features & Capabilities

Discovery Insure offers car insurance powered by telematics. The DQ-Track device paired with the Discovery Insure app provides real-time driving feedback and rewards for safe driving, including up to R1,500 in monthly fuel rewards. To get started, install the telematics device and link it to the app, then activate your Vitality Drive card to swipe at BP or Shell. You can also earn rewards on Gautrain spend by linking your Gautrain.

Note: The app uses location services only while driving, pauses monitoring after trips to conserve battery, and will not drain the battery on long trips if not charged. Product rules and terms apply; full details are on discovery.co.za or by calling 0860 000 628.

User Reviews

Reviewers generally like the concept and the idea of driving feedback with incentives. However, the majority cite recurring issues: significant battery drain from continuous GPS/location tracking, inaccurate or unfair scoring (including incorrect speed limits and penalties), reliability problems after updates (crashes, open-errors, and Vitality sync failures), and inconsistent trip recording (some drives aren’t logged or start late). These recurring negatives outweigh positives for many users.
Pros
  • Good concept for monitoring driving behavior.
  • Accurate driving ratings with actionable feedback and incentives to drive safely.
  • Users report improved driving awareness and safer habits due to the app.
Cons
  • Heavy battery drain due to constant location tracking.
  • Inaccurate or unfair scoring with wrong speed limits and penalties.
  • Reliability issues after updates (crashes, app won’t open, server errors, not syncing to Vitality).
  • Inconsistent trip recording (drives not logged or not started properly).

The app has two serious problems. The first is that it can drain your battery if you leave it active. The second problem is that nanny is seriously over strict and inaccurate on driving behavior. I patrol for the neighborhood watch and at 30km/h it keeps penalizing me for breaking and cornering. Don’t even start me on cell phone use. The old version was way better

The latest version (6) drains iOS battery life. Getting background activity of 30% in iOS.

If you want an app that takes all the joy out of driving this is it. Defensive driving? Forget about it - if a child’s ball rolls out into the road ahead don’t brake, or swerve - the app doesn’t like defensive driving. No posted speed limits as in half the Eastern Cape? Well you’d better assume that the speed limit is 40 kmh the whole trip otherwise you’ll end up with zero points and feeling like an idiot. Leave your car idle for a few days? Don’t do it, the nerds who developed this app made the app assume you’ve disabled the sensor. Try to complain through the contact feature on the app? Nope, it will give you a constant “Internal Sever Error” message. DON’T DO IT!
