Drive safely: the digital help you need
At Lara Cars, safety behind the wheel has always been a top priority. Our vehicles come equipped with the latest driver-assistance systems, but there are also digital tools that can help you reduce risks and improve your daily driving.
Here are the apps that stand out in 2025 for their reliability and ease of use.
Apps to prevent accidents and improve your driving
1. Google Maps: more than just navigation
The world’s most popular map app keeps evolving. In 2025, Google Maps not only guides you — it warns you about sudden braking, speed limits, and nearby accidents in real time. It also includes live updates on traffic in Alicante, road conditions, and the location of fixed speed cameras.
Key advantage: its integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay lets you keep your hands on the wheel and your focus on the road.
2.Waze: a community for drivers
Waze remains a favourite among those who want real-time updates. Thousands of users share alerts about traffic jams, checkpoints, or roadworks, making it perfect for navigating tourist and urban areas such as Torrevieja, Altea, or Moraira.
Best feature: its voice system can be customised and supports multiple languages —ideal for international visitors hiring a car with Lara Cars.
3. Drivemode or Android Auto: hands-free control
Using your phone while driving is risky. Drivemode and Android Auto let you manage calls, messages, and music through voice commands, reducing distractions. They’re must-have apps if you spend a lot of time on the road or drive through unfamiliar areas.
4. Radarbot: speed limits and camera alerts
In 2025, Radarbot continues to be one of the most accurate apps for detecting fixed, mobile, and average-speed cameras. It also warns you of speed limits and potential checkpoints. The goal isn’t to drive faster — it’s to drive steadily and safely.
