The charity I volunteer for has a “Dial-a-Ride” contract, and recently the drivers have had a very similar system to Drive Smart installed.
The hardware wedge that’s stuck to the windscreen costs basically nothing, about £20 per bus, and the software fee is about £2 per driver per month.
That’s about £72 for 3 years per driver.
I suspect Motability given the volume of cars will be pennies for both the hardware and per user fee.
We save hundreds on our bus insurance significantly more than the system costs. We don’t use it to evaluate driving styles like Motability does, just to ensure routes are followed for billing proofs and that real laws are not broken.
I have no idea how much Motability can save on insurance by having such a proactive system with the ability to remove drivers for breaking seemingly made-up rules that don’t translate into laws, but it’s probably a lot, lot, lot more.
……and if you think that those cost savings over the entire fleet are not being considered by Motability, then I have a bridge to sell you.
