“Website easy to use. Needed insurance quickly so picked Hastings as prices competitive. Didn't like the fact that you had to agree to your driving being monitored through a "black box" no way out of this unfortunately. Seems a bit intrusive and somewhat " big brother is watching you".”

Hi, Thank you very much for letting us hear your feedback, it's welcome. Our product is a telematics style offering which uses the data from your driving to not only keep you safer, better skilled but also offer you a personalised discount at the end of the year. I hope you find it as helpful as many of our other customers do ~Joe?

“their programming didn't recognise my car , took 20 mins on phone to sort out the next day , then half hour on phone mainly on hold to try and get an apt for their contractor to fit the box , savings are good , but that's about it”

Hi, Sorry to learn there was an issue when you installed the box - we're also working on answering faster so that you don't need to wait as much as well ~Joe

“My agreeing to use the SmartMiles box has made it possible to avoid a swingeing insurance premium hike. The box was delivered promptly and it was easy to install. The online monitoring of my driving serves to be both interesting and encouraging.”

“It is ok, as it was quick to mark down every hard breaking, but was not as quick to put the rating back up if you were driving well.”

“I thought the service was poor overall for a number of reasons. One being the lack of information given to me about costs for changing my address and how much it would be etc. Secondly being that the service felt rushed and pressed for time. I was fairly disappointed.”

“Too early to say”

Helpful Report

“I don't mind the box so much, except for the fact it restrains you from driving at night. Essentially, acts as a curfew due to the fear of your score being compromised for driving after 10pm, which by the way takes ages to increase for the daytime driving. The discount however provided was amazing, hence cannot complain on the price front, but I guess you get what you pay for.”

“Although I had problems with the engineers coming to fit the black box and confusion over when it was activated as I was unaware it already was. When I phone up the people I spoke to dealt with my issues and gave me a refund on the telematics”
