Anything that goes into the car is an auto nope from me.

Doesn't seem worth it at 5000 miles, its £300, i pay less than that already and do over 20,000 miles.

Are you looking at the right part?

Infact it's one of the better quote systems as it doesn't ask for much PII. Car reg, your age, and postal code. It'll then estimate your mileage, and you can agree or adjust, and then you're presented with a quote.

Yup. It doesn't like my car.

 

[DAIR]

Won't quote me. Lol.

Discrimination..... I wouldn't have it

How long before this all becomes standard?

Surely this would be far cheaper than the standard policy.

It might be worth for people like my brother who lives in London and drives twice a month so paying his silly 2500/year insurance is ridiculous when he uses the car for 2-3k miles a year.

In my case having a black box in my car alone is not worth it for 20 quid a year saving.

 

[SC0TTRS]

It's not (for me anyway).

 

[tom_nieto]

Why why not just get a limited mileage policy from any insurer? I have one on my 911 and the difference between 7500 and 5000 miles pa is quite a dramatic drop.

 

[Nasher]

Doesn't seem like it would offer any sizable savings for my "low use" car. Might as well continue to use a less restricted, less monitored, and more mod-friendly policy.

<3 Greenlight.


EDIT: NO savings at all, an increase of £165/year

Yea I'm with Greenlight again this year. Was with Skyinsurance which was around the same price, but Greenlight's service is one of the best around and they don't usually charge for mods or silly things like "admin fees".

Unless you have a BMW though I suppose, in which case they tell you to jog on

 

[Diagro]

It's actually cheaper for me... But if they use speed and driving style against you then count me out lol

I would imagine fairly soon.

The thing is they would entice more people onto telematics policies if they were cheaper than standard policies.

But no person is going to pay more, or even the same for a company to be measuring their driving styles, and then potentially penalise them for it.

Even driving 20-25k miles a year, i'd be happy to go onto a telematics policy if it was half the cost of my standard policy.

 

[x-st]

This is actually almost twice as expensive as what I pay now...and that's only on 7500 miles!

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

50 miles is £150 and 5000 miles is £300.

Seems somewhat pointless.

 

[Nasher]

Yea the minimum £150 price ruins it really.

 

[Conscript]

Thought this might be worth a shot as I no longer drive my car daily, so my annual mileage has plummeted.
Based on 5000 miles a year, that would cost me £445. Which is more than what I pay now, I think.
