Is Black Box Insurance Right for Me?

 LittleBox telematics monitors your driving habits and other risk factors to calculate your driving score. A good score could mean lower insurance premiums at renewal.

You can drive whenever you want with LittleBox, but frequent late-night driving (between 10pm and 4am) will lower your overall score. If you often drive overnight, this may not be the best option for you.

Please note, if you consistently drive dangerously and have a poor score, we may have to cancel your policy.

Why Choose LittleBox?

  • Discounts for Safe Drivers: Drive well and you’re more likely to earn a discount when renewing your policy.

  • Regular Driving Feedback: Track your driving performance and receive tips to improve your score.

Theft Tracking: If your car is stolen while LittleBox is active, simply call our claims team with your crime reference number, and we’ll liaise with the police to help recover your vehicle. (Note: Theft Tracking is not available with LittleBox Plug and Drive or LittleBox Pod.)
