DriveTrend Reviews

I decided to install this in order to get a discount on my car insurance with Farm Bureau and it is the most useless app I’ve ever downloaded! It worked accurately for about one month and now I can’t open it to see anything!! It just spins and spins and spins, showing that it’s trying to do SOMETHING but nothing happens. Then I get a notification that there has been no activity for a week when I drive at least 20 miles a day. Now my insurance will go up again because I haven’t used DriveTrend , even though I’m TRYING to use it - it’s not working!!!!

Come on, Farm Bureau. It’s 2023. Get it together. Hire quality developers. I’ve deleted and reinstalled DriveTrend multiple times hoping to get it to work. Even my insurance agent can’t seem to help.

NOT HAPPY WITH THIS! 😡

DriveTrend is horrible. It records E V E R Y T H I N G! I have to constantly confirm whether me or not. I drive for a living but not in my personal vehicle. I have to continuously make frequent visits to DriveTrend to confirm or deny and sometimes I forget which logs miles I didn’t do in my vehicle. Many times confirms trips I didn’t even make while sitting at home! DriveTrend needs to be terminated and just stop overcharging for auto insurance. Problem solved. If I could give a zero star I would.

I almost exclusively drive in the dark during the week, between early mornings and late nights, I get a zero on night time driving, my other scores are at around 3-4 stars but my overall is 1 and a half? Terrible rating system.

Not even sure I am getting the 10% discount. DriveTrend drains my battery so fast! Will not work unless it set for always. Can you please find a better solution for the option of only when in use! About ready to delete app!

By far worse app i have ever used. The developer needs to find another business cause clearly they don’t know anything about applications. Rarely gets updated then once it does get updated it’s worse than the previous versions.

App keeps locking up and has to be uninstalled and reinstalled. App design is terrible. I ride to work with someone so I’m constantly having to go in and ignore trips. There should be a pop up that asks if you are the driver or passenger every time DriveTrend starts to log a trip. That would be way more user friendly.

DriveTrend is extremely bad for battery life, a 15 minute drive drains over 10% of my battery but the same drive with DriveTrend disabled didn’t change battery percentage. The accuracy monitoring speed and location is not good. It would tell me I had been speeding but hadn’t been but then trying to test when I knew was over it didn’t capture it. If you are going to use DriveTrend to help monitor drivers for accountability it needs to be more accurate. If you claim it is to help you become a better driver it needs to give you feedback. Now that I am out of the period where it learns my driving it no longer provides me the feedback. Apparently the data only goes to whomever is monitoring you.

This is our second try on using DriveTrend after meeting with our agent. Both my wife and I downloaded and signed up And immediately noticed it draining our battery. Disabled it and battery is back to normal. We also live in a rural area and it puts the speed limit at 30 for all unmarked county roads. Shutting it off again.

I have DriveTrend so that I can get a discount on the insurance, but it’s incredibly inaccurate and can’t distinguish between driving on roads vs being on a train or on a boat in the middle of the ocean. I got back from vacation and have several speeding, hard breaking, etc notes for when I’m on trains or on the Cruise. They should really update the system to reflect railway systems and other forms of transportation. The train I will give leeway for, but when your in the middle of the ocean!

I just started using this to save a little money on insurance (which just went up - again). DriveTrend has me as hard braking on shirt trip to town I just took and I didn’t even brake where it says I did. Also has me speeding at 50 in a 45 and that road does not have a lowered limit anywhere on it. This information they gather is NOT accurate. I’m sure they will use this as an excuse to not give me any savings on insurance. Tomorrow begins the search for another insurance company.

DriveTrend is difficult to navigate and needs to be more adaptable to user preference. I have 3 notifications showing on my app icon, but when I actually go into DriveTrend , there are no notifications. DriveTrend won't record my husband's drives to the point that he is getting messages about losing the discount, all due to DriveTrend issues. I hate that it auto confirms trips if I have been on that route before. My husband and I drive the same roads and alternate driving. If I forget to "ignore" the trips, then his drives are affecting my scores.

Installed it and seemed to work fine for two days. Got in my truck and it wanted me to log in again, but all credentials were invalid and no recovery email ever came. Even tried just re-registering with no success. Zero stars.

I’ve used DriveTrend for over 300 miles now and it gives me a 1 star driving rating. 4 1/2 stars on local speed, 5 stars on highway speed, and 4 stars on hard braking. 0 stars on nighttime driving so I get a 1 star rating overall. I’m always driving at night, is that illegal? No, so why is my score 0 for driving at night, when my overall speeds are good! I don’t understand it!

Overall I think it does a fine job tracking my drives. However, I work second shift, so I dislike I get a 0 for nighttime driving. I can’t help it bro it’s when I work lol

DriveTrend is saving my family over $700 per year. My Agent helped us set it up on our smart phones. Now DriveTrend just runs in the background automatically. Thanks Alex Alicea @ Farm Bureau for helping us get this discount!

The application is simple to use and provides a guaranteed 10% discount. It is NOT designed to be punitive, only to make one a safer driver by knowing how they perform as a driver. I have found it to have fewer requirements and takes less attention than other applications by other insurers.

Compared to other services out there this one runs with minimal battery use and does what it’s supposed to with no problems.

DriveTrend is easy to use and download. I’ve had it for tens of thousands of miles. No issues.

DriveTrend will ask you to confirm whether you were the driver or not first couple weeks. Then it’s on auto pilot. It only records trips where your phone goes. You could be a passenger or driver. It does not affect your rates. Data gathered is used for research purposes and not tied to your name...at least not for our company. I personally use it and it’s been 18 months. No issues.

I’ve been using this app for 2 years and no issues. Saving money on my automobile insurance!!
