From chatting apps like Whatsapp to dating apps like Tinder, there are apps to help you lose weight, stop smoking, educate your children, or entertain yourself by catching Pokemon.   It’s no surprise then that there are also Car apps. After all we spend a lot of our time in cars. So what kinds of car apps are available? Well here are some of the apps that are making drivers’ lives easier.     ![Grey car parked off off the road](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/a_car-Aug-24-2021-08-38-17-07-PM.jpg)   ## MySOS [This is a free app](https://www.mysos.co.za/help.html) that offers emergency assistance for those times when you don’t know who to call or where you are. You can send your emergency contacts notification of your emergency and your exact location.   The idea is that it’s a one-stop solution for access to emergency services that are closest to you and most appropriate to your emergency. Users can activate the app for their own emergency or on behalf of someone else and the app will automatically dial the appropriate emergency service provider based on the nature of the emergency.   ## AxiKit This app allows you to upload the information that you will need if you are in an accident. [AxiKit](http://www.axikit.com/) guides the user through the process and makes it as easy as possible to record the information which will be saved in an e-mail format report. Features include voice recording capabilities, a release form with a signature capture for the other driver to make an admission of guilt, a map which will pinpoint the location including date and time, a photo checklist and emergency services contacts.   ## Traffic24 For most people who have to commute to work driving outside of peak times is unavoidable. But if you have ever been stuck in a traffic jam you will probably have wondered about whether there are less congested routes to take to your destination.   [This free mobile car app](http://www.news24.com/Mobile/MobileApps/Traffic24-20120612) will give you live updates on traffic which will help you avoid congested areas and get to you where you’re going faster.   ## Speedtracker [This car app](https://itunes.apple.com/za/app/speed-tracker-free.-gps-speedometer/id604836034?mt=8) keeps track of your speed and can alert you if you are going over the speed limit. It can also tell you how much distance you have covered and how long it took you to complete your journey.   The app also has a built-in map feature to ensure you never get lost.   ## Awesome South Africa (ASA) [The first location-based travel app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/awesome-south-africa/id807093359?mt=8) in South Africa. It offers users four colour-coded options. Red is for specials, blue for events, yellow for promotions, and green for news.   This app will help find whatever you are looking for, whether it’s the nearest Italian restaurant or local accommodation. There is also a currency converter for overseas visitors and it has the emergency numbers you might need.   Remember, [Avis Fleet has a range of solutions to help you](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/) with all of your fleet company needs.   [![Subscribe For Industry Insights](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/483927/e73ce63a-3638-4d33-911f-17b6c18a05f0.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/483927/e73ce63a-3638-4d33-911f-17b6c18a05f0) [Back](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) -   -   -   [Back](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) | [All posts](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) ##### You might also like ![A fuel-saving guide for fleet drivers and managers](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Avis%20Blog%204.png) [A fuel-saving guide for fleet drivers and managers](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/a-fuel-saving-guide-for-fleet-drivers-and-managers) August 24, 2020 ![How Avis optimised our fleet](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/nelson-gono-h-kD4142VIQ-unsplash.jpg) [How Avis optimised our fleet](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/how-avis-optimised-our-fleet) August 24, 2020 ![Why data accuracy is your most important fleet asset](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Avis_April_Content-16.jpg) [Why data accuracy is your most important fleet asset](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/why-data-accuracy-is-your-most-important-fleet-asset) August 24, 2020 [![twitter icon (1)](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/twitter%20icon%20(1).svg)](https://twitter.com/avis_fleet) [![linkedin icon (1)](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/linkedin%20icon%20(1).svg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/avis-fleet/?originalSubdomain=za) - Assist Numbers - [Driver Emergency 0800 540 740](tel:0800540740) - [Road Side Assistance 0800 117 686](tel:0800117686) - [Want to buy a car? 011 973 7300](tel:0119737300) - [Intelligent Fuel Bureau 031 466 2583](tel:0314662583) - [Accident Management 0800 033 002](tel:0800033002) - [Find out more 011 552 9000](tel:0115529000) - [About us](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/about-us) - [Careers](https://www.linkedin.com/company/zeda-southern-africa/jobs/) - [Solutions](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions) - [Blog](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news) - [Contact us](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/contact-us) - [Countries](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/countries/zambia) - [Service history](https://service-history.avisfleet.co.za/) Copyright 2026. [Avis Fleet Solutions](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/).
