As catalogued
UK smartphone-app telematics car insurance for drivers over 25, using GPS to record how, when and where a car is driven and rewarding safe driving; policies underwritten by AXA Insurance UK.
2026 reality
Drivology no longer operates as a distinct offer: drivology.co.uk resolves in DNS but did not serve a page on 2026-10-17. The business was acquired by UK insurance group Markerstudy in 2016, which added its policyholders to its Retail Division.
Launched in March 2014 as an AXA-backed app-based telematics insurer and partnered with SSP for its telematics app. In July 2016 Markerstudy acquired the Drivology telematics business, for an undisclosed amount, adding more than 6,000 policyholders to its Retail Division; Drivology was already an appointed representative of Markerstudy's Insurance Factory. No later use of the Drivology brand was found.
a small, single-product telematics brand with about 6,000 policies lacked scale; selling the book and capability to a larger motor insurance group was a typical exit for early UK app-based telematics players.
Third taxonomy
REVIEW · Confirmed the July 2016 Markerstudy acquisition (6,000+ policyholders, undisclosed amount) across Fleet News, Insurance Age and Insurance Times, and added Insurance Times as a source with the appointed-representative detail. Re-checked that drivology.co.uk resolves but serves no page.
