DRIVE ZONE PREMIUM
Free core features help you monitor entries and keep follow-up visible. Premium adds CarPlay driving-task support, widgets, earlier proximity warnings, richer live metrics, more vehicle flexibility, reminder automation, Live Activities, App Lock, custom app icons, achievements, and optional iCloud Sync across your own devices.

Premium is available as monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions, each with a 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. After the free trial, Apple automatically bills the selected plan until cancelled. Subscription pricing and billing period are shown on the Premium screen before purchase and confirmed by the App Store.

Drive Zone is a decision-support and reminder app. It is not an official charging authority, payment service or legal advice source. You remain responsible for checking official zone rules, charges, exemptions, deadlines and vehicle status.
