We took out this policy because of the price... BIG MISTAKE. I am a Grade A instructor of 30 years experience and even my driving would not add points to the pitiful 30 that they put my Daughter down to for her braking !
We were told to install the box 9 days before the start date of her insurance, which we did, but did not expect them to penalise her before the policy came into effect!
The result of this is that she was afraid to brake, and this is supposed to promote good, safe driving ??
We have cancelled the policy ( be aware your 14 days notice of cancellation begins when you install the box NOT when the policy starts). We were charged £25 to cancel and told the telematics ( black box ) was non refundable, total cost for just 3 days insurance was just over £225. Total Ripoff !!
Reading the reviews on here I am convinced these boxes are faulty and intend to follow this up.
In the meantime tell everyone you know about these scammers, I am telling all my pupils. One had a narrow escape, as his parents were just about to book with this company.
