My Policy has a simple approach to car insurance – drive safely and you could pay less. Using telematics technology, also known as black box car insurance, drivers could earn cheaper premiums by demonstrating how safely they drive. My Policy offers telematics insurance for young drivers and low mileage drivers over the age of 25.
My Policy works with a panel of leading UK insurance providers including AXA, Aviva, Markerstudy, Equity Red Star and Liverpool Victoria (Highway) to provide comprehensive, third party fire and theft, and third party only cover for its Telematics Smart Box policies.
How My Policy telematics works
When you take out a telematics policy with My Policy, you’ll agree to have a Telematics Smart Box fitted to your car within seven days of the start date. The small black box uses telematics technology to collect information on your driving, such as:
- acceleration
- braking
- speed
- cornering
- time of use
- mileage
- road types
- vehicle location
The information is sent back to My Policy, who’ll give you a driving score based on how well you drive. You can view your driving score at any time via your personalised online dashboard. Score well and you could earn a discount on renewal.
Before you complete a My Policy quote, you’ll be asked how many miles you want to drive. The less miles you do, the cheaper your policy may be. If you run out of your stated miles you can buy extra miles to add to your policy.
My Policy also provides a telematics policy for low mileage drivers over 25, which means drivers of any age can benefit from lower premiums based on safe driving and low miles.
