How It Works

Three taps. That's it.

DriveSave runs in the background while you drive. When you're ready, review your trips and save with a single tap.

Step 1

Drive like normal

DriveSave automatically detects and logs your trips in the background. No manual entry needed.

Step 2

Tap to save

Review your trips and their wear estimates. Tap "Save" on any trip to set that money aside for future repairs.

Step 3

Stay ready

Your savings progress builds with each tap. Once you hit the transfer threshold, you move the funds to your own savings account — on your terms.

Colton and the 4Runner that started it all

Meet the Founder

A routine oil change turned into a $2,000 lesson.

I walked into the shop for a simple oil change and walked out with a repair bill I couldn't afford. No warning. No savings set aside. Just a lesson and a credit card balance with an insane interest rate.

"I thought — what if every mile I drove had been quietly building a cushion for exactly this moment?"

I created DriveSave because I realized the situation I found myself in wasn't unique to me — this is something vehicle owners face every single day across America. I grew up in Montana, where having a vehicle isn't a luxury — it's how you get to work, how you get home, how you live. I watched my parents deal with surprise repair bills. I've watched friends put off fixes they couldn't afford. And I've been the guy staring at a bill he didn't plan for, putting it on a credit card because there was no other option. DriveSave is the app I wish I'd had — and the one I'm building for everyone from my parents to a brand new driver buying their first car.

What You Get

Built for real life, not spreadsheets.

DriveSave handles the hard part — all you do is drive.

Automatic Trip Detection

Your phone knows when you're driving. DriveSave logs every trip without you lifting a finger.

Wear Estimates

Each trip shows an estimated wear cost on your vehicle — making the invisible cost of driving visible.

1-Tap Savings

Review a trip, tap "Save," and that amount adds to your Savings Progress. Once you hit the threshold, you initiate the transfer to your own savings account.

Your Bank, Your Money

DriveSave moves funds between your own checking and savings. We never hold your money.

Trip History & Reports

See every trip, every save, and how your repair fund is growing — all in one clean dashboard.

Bank-Level Security

Stripe-powered transfers with industry-standard encryption. Your financial data stays private.
