How does Black Box Insurance work?

A black box will be installed in your car to monitor your driving style using specialist telematics technology. Some of the things it will monitor are:

  • Speeding
  • Braking
  • Accelerating
  • Sudden manoeuvres

Your insurer will give you a regular 'driver score' which will reflect your driving style. Your score indicates how safe a driver they believe you to be. You could be rewarded with lower premiums when renewing your policy if you consistently achieve a good score.

As the policyholder, you can easily check the driver score by logging into your account on the Drive Wiser Safe and Secure app.
