DRIVE CREW – THE APP TO FIND, ORGANIZE, AND ENJOY YOUR CAR OUTINGS Drive Crew brings together everything you need to make the most of your automotive outings. Discover road trips, rides, rallies, and events near you, join other enthusiasts, or create your own outings. On the road, Drive Crew keeps you on track with a shared itinerary, a synced convoy, voice messages, and alerts. DISCOVER CAR OUTINGS NEAR YOU Easily find road trips, rides, rallies, club outings, and automotive events around you. Browse outings, check their routes, then join the ones that match what you’re looking for. Whether you want a ride this weekend or a road trip to plan ahead, Drive Crew helps you find new reasons to drive. ORGANIZE YOUR OWN OUTINGS Create your own event in the app: a ride with friends, a road trip, a touring rally, a club outing, or a gathering. Prepare your itinerary, add stops, waypoints, and points of interest, then invite participants to join. You can also import a GPX file to turn an existing route into a Drive Crew outing. DRIVE IN CONVOY WITHOUT GETTING SEPARATED Once the outing starts, every driver follows the same synced itinerary and can track the convoy’s progress. Easily find the other participants and stay aligned on the route, even on complex roads or long outings. The goal: smoother convoys that are easier to lead and more enjoyable, without endless messages, calls, or unnecessary stops. STAY IN TOUCH WITHOUT TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD Voice messages let you communicate quickly while driving. Send a message to the group, to a specific participant, or leave a voice message at a point on the route. Messages are read aloud automatically so you can stay focused on the road. KEEP YOUR OUTINGS SAFER WITH ALERTS Quickly report a hazard on the road: gravel, a stray animal, an obstacle, slowdown, or any other risk. Alerts help other participants anticipate and adapt their driving, especially on country roads, mountain passes, winding routes, or long rides. CREATE AND MANAGE YOUR CAR EVENTS Organize outings open to your group or to other enthusiasts: rally, ride, road trip, club outing, or gathering. Add the useful details, the route, and points of interest so participants know exactly what to expect. Prepare your routes ahead of time, share the key info, and make convoy coordination easier on the day. BUILT FOR CAR CLUBS Clubs can publish their events, give their outings more visibility, and make convoy organization easier. Drive Crew centralizes outings and improves the member experience before, during, and after the drive. CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROFILE AND YOUR CAR Create your driver profile and connect easily with other enthusiasts. Personalize your car with a dedicated avatar: import a photo or describe your vehicle to generate a representation. Each participant becomes easier to spot in the convoy. FOR ENTHUSIASTS, GROUPS, AND ORGANIZERS Drive Crew is for everyone who loves to drive: car enthusiasts, groups of friends, clubs, organizers, and participants in rallies or road trips. Find an outing near you. Create your next road trip. Gather your crew. And enjoy the road. Drive Crew turns every outing into a connected, organized, and calmer convoy.
