Telematics car insurance from insure the box

If you want car insurance which allows you to prove that you are a good driver, insure the box could be the insurance company for you.

Conventional car insurance relies solely on the information you provide when getting a quote to generate a price for cover, but once you've bought the policy, they have no ability to actually assess your driving. All drivers who choose insurethebox (that's what they call themselves) agree to have a telematics device fitted into their car, a Clear Box, and this monitors certain factors about their driving.

Initially you buy 6,000 Base Miles of cover and, if you drive well, you can earn Bonus Miles or, if necessary, you can also buy Top-Up Miles.

Because you agree to have certain details of your driving monitored, such as braking, acceleration, time of travel and journey distance, insurethebox offers some nifty driving incentives.

Some telematics car insurance providers only let their customers drive during daylight hours and levy stiff penalties and charges for those who want to drive at night. However, insurethebox lets you use your car whenever you want and there's no curfew time

If you choose to use your vehicle in the safest manner possible, i.e. on the safest roads, within the speed limit and during daylight hours, you will be able to earn up to 100 Bonus Miles a month. These bonuses get added to your original Base Miles, so there may never be a need to buy Top-Up Miles.

And for those of you who have safety at the forefront of your thoughts, the Clear Box acts as an accident alert advice in the event that it registers high impact G-forces. In such a situation, under certain circumstances, the team at insure the box can offer an accident alert service to enable emergency services to attend the scene of an accident in the quickest time possible.

Plus, if your car is stolen the Clear Box acts as a theft tracking device which can ultimately help police to recover your vehicle.
