What’s Admiral LittleBox?
LittleBox is our original black box product. Our engineers will hard install it into your car, and then you’re all good to go.
Once it’s been fitted, it’ll measure when and how well you drive. If you’re a safe driver, you could get a discount when you renew.
How is LittleBox installed?
Book a slot
We'll send out an engineer on a date that works for you - within 30 days of buying your policy.
An engineer fits the device
One of our engineers will fit the box out of sight in your car, normally behind the glovebox.
Drive away
Time to take the wheel! Your LittleBox will now be tracking how safely you drive.
How does Admiral LittleBox work?
It uses GPS to keep track of how safely you're driving. Then we'll give you a driving score based on that, so you can see how you're doing.
It gets averaged out over time - so you don't need to be a perfect driver to get a good score.
The safer you drive, the better your renewal price is likely to be.
What does LittleBox measure?
There are a few things we look at to decide whether you're driving safely.
Speeding |
Speeding will bring down your score - and remember, it's illegal and dangerous. Keep an eye on how fast you're driving and stay within the speed limit. |
|
|---|---|---|
Braking |
We'll look at how harshly you brake, so be careful to brake as smoothly as possible and with lots of time to spare. |
|
Acceleration |
You might be tempted to go full throttle, but the box will measure how fast you accelerate. Go slow and gradually build up speed to show you're fully in control. |
|
The time of day you drive |
There's no curfew, don't worry. But regularly driving at night, between 10pm and 4am, will lower your score. That's because people are more likely to be tired and the visibility is worse, so accidents are more likely. If you regularly drive at night, LittleBox might not be right for you. |
For more information on how we collect your driving data, check out your policy book.
Remember - if your driving is really unsafe or you have a consistently poor score, we'll cancel your policy.
How do I get my feedback?
Don't worry if you're not sure how you're getting on - we'll send you an email each week with an update on your driving score.

Looking for more?
We also have two other LittleBox products. Heads up - you can't choose which LittleBox you get! We decide based on a few different risk factors, like how long you've been driving.
LittleBox Plug and Drive
Plug and Drive is a small unit that fits into the 12 volt socket in your car. It doesn't need to be fitted by an engineer - you can just plug it in yourself and you're ready to go.
LittleBox Pod
LittleBox Pod is a small Bluetooth device that's fitted to the inside of your windscreen. With this option, you'll have access to an app that gives you updates on your driving.
