Telematics insurance is becoming more and more popular in the Irish insurance market. In a recent survey over 77% of AIG customers agreed that telematics solutions make the roads safer and 80% of Irish drivers would be willing to install telematics if linked with a discount.
Installing telematics in your car is a great way to get your first insurance policy if you’re a young and inexperienced driver. And, if you are a safe and experienced driver, get the discounts you deserve. At AIG we have a telematics policy to suit all new and younger drivers.
What is Telematics Insurance?
Telematics Insurance involves installing a small box - often known as a black box - into your car. This box uses telematics technology to record various aspects of your driving including speed, distance and time of travelling. The data collected is then used to calculate a personal driving score that can contribute to a cheaper insurance policy in the form of renewal discounts.
What are the benefits of Telematics Insurance?
This varies depending on your policy, but the main benefits of our three telematics policies include:
- Upfront discounts
- Further discounts at renewal
- Extra mileage awards
- Promotion of safer driving
- GPS tracker if car is stolen
What information does the Telematics Device collect?
The technology in the telematics box records a range of data about your driving:
- Total speed
- Smoothness of accelerations and decelerations
- Sharpness of turns
- Time of day while driving
- Length of journeys
- How often you drive
- Total Mileage
Who is Telematics Insurance for?
Currently, this type of insurance is aimed at young drivers or those without a no claims bonus. Our BoxClever policy is aimed at those under 27 and looking to build their driving history and No Claims Bonus.
