What is LittleBox Pod?
LittleBox Pod is one of our black box insurance products. It’s a small Bluetooth device that fits to your windscreen, pairs with your smartphone, and records your car journeys.
The device measures things like your speed and acceleration. You'll then get feedback on your driving in the Admiral app, to help you improve and keep you safe.
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 Pod?
LittleBox Pod is easy and quick to install. You can do it yourself with no fuss.
Step 1
Your LittleBox Pod will arrive in the post a few days after your policy starts.
Step 2
Connect the LittleBox Pod via the Admiral app.
Step 3
Stick it to your windscreen behind your rear-view mirror and off you 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 LittleBox Pod work?
LittleBox Pod uses your phone's GPS to collect data on how you drive.
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 Pod measure?
Here's what your driving score gets based on.
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. |
|
|---|---|---|
Braking |
We'll look at how harshly you brake, so be careful to brake smoothly and in plenty of time. |
|
Acceleration |
Don't accelerate too quickly when speeding up. Instead, go slow before gradually building up speed to show you're in full control of your car. |
|
Phone use |
Using your phone while driving is dangerous and will impact your score. If you use it for directions, put it up in a cradle on your dashboard and set up your route before you set off. Don't let your passengers use your phone either - this will affect your score. |
|
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 Pod 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 and you consistently have a poor score, we will cancel your policy.
How do I get my feedback?
You'll get your feedback through the app. You'll be able to see every trip you've taken and each week we'll update your driving score for you to check.
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 Pod 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 Pod 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:
- you consent to it
- we're required to by law or by an appropriate request from an authorised authority
- fraud is suspected
If my score is bad, will you increase my price?
We'll never increase your price during your policy term. When it's time to renew, we'll use your driving data to work out if your renewal price will be discounted or increased.
What happens if I change my car?
Just remove your LittleBox Pod from your old car and fit it in the same place in your new car.
