What is LittleBox Plug & Drive?
LittleBox Plug & Drive is one of our black box insurance products. It’s a small device that connects to the 12 volt port in your car, so just plug it in and you're ready to go.
The device measures things like your speed and acceleration. You'll get feedback on your driving to help keep you safe, plus some tips on how to improve your score.
If you're a safe driver, you're more likely to get a better discount when it's time to renew your insurance.
How to install your LittleBox Plug & Drive
Just like the name suggests, installing your device is quick and easy.
Step 1
It will arrive in the post a few days after your policy starts.
Step 2
Plug your device into your 12 volt socket.
Step 3
Take a short trip within 15 days of us sending it. Now you're ready to go!
If you don't link up your device and take a trip within 15 days, your discount will be removed and you'll need to pay an extra charge.
How does the LittleBox Plug & Drive work?
LittleBox Plug & Drive collects data about how you're using your car, so we can give you a driving score.
Your score is 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 Plug & Drive measure?
Your driving score is based on a range of factors, including:
Smoothness |
Driving smoothness covers how safely you accelerate, brake, and take corners in your car. |
|
|---|---|---|
Speeding |
The device will measure the speed you're driving. So keep an eye on how fast you drive and stay within the speed limit. |
|
The time of day you drive |
While there isn't a curfew, driving at night (between 10pm and 4am) will lower your driving score. If you regularly drive at night, LittleBox Plug & Drive might not be right for you. |
For more information on how we collect your driving data, check out your policy book.
It's important to remember that if your driving is extremely unsafe or you have a poor score, we will cancel your policy.
How do I get my feedback?
Every week we'll send you an email with an update on your driving score.
Good
You're driving well - nothing to worry about!
Average
You're doing okay! Use our driving tips to help boost your score.
Poor
Your driving is very poor and your policy could be cancelled.
We'll give you regular tips on how you could improve your score.
Got any questions?
Can I drive my car before LittleBox Plug & Drive is installed?
Yes, you can drive as soon as your cover starts.
My device hasn’t arrived
We'll send you a text message when your LittleBox Plug & Drive is dispatched. We'll send it via Royal Mail signed-for delivery.
It should arrive within 48 hours. If it doesn't, please contact us straight away.
Do you share my data with the police?
We won't release information about your driving data to the police or other authorities unless:
