What you get with RouteSafe
Truck-safe route checking. Routes are checked against mapped low bridges, height, width and weight limits, and bus-lane and vehicle-access restrictions along the way — and RouteSafe tells you when a road's access could not be verified rather than quietly sending you down it.
DVLA registration lookup. Type your number plate and RouteSafe identifies your vehicle from official DVLA records, then suggests its dimensions, which you can review and adjust before routing.
Voice turn-by-turn navigation with spoken alerts for restrictions, mapped speed cameras and speed limits, plus community reports from other drivers.
Simple fleet view. Managers can see where their drivers are while they navigate — drivers join by code or accept an invitation, and nothing is shared without their consent.
Honest pricing. 7-day free trial, then £5/year for individual drivers or £25/year for fleets. No card needed to try it.
Frequently asked questions
