After a year and a final drivers rating of 93, my annual premium has gone from ?1,200 to ?560, and I now only pay ?58 per month compared to the ?110 I was paying last year. As it?s only the second year I?ve held my license, this is a considerably low monthly payment for car insurance. I found the driving app really helpful, it picked up on my harsh braking initially and more score in this area became quite low, however as time went on and I no longer had this problem (just took time to get used to the brakes!), the score then went back to 100. I also had someone drive into the back of me in April and everything was handled very smoothly with minimal stress to myself. The only downside has been the 10pm curfew. Definitely recommend for first time drivers.

This was a renewal with a black box. I received the renewal quote which was a good price however there was no explanation of how the data from the box influenced the price or suggestions of areas to improve that may influence the quote further. This was most disappointing.

At first I did regret getting a black box and heard rumours that if you drove at night they would cancel and various other things. To be honest I've had no problems at all. The first year my insurance was ?1250 and the second year was ?550 I couldn't be happier. I don't know how the braking works though, I am in 10 out of 100 and I live in Bradford where everyone pulls out on you. Maybe if they looked at where you live that would be good.

Service is great, been with smart miles two years and this is my second renewal. Love the unlimited mileage feature after the first year. They make finding insurance so affordable

I keep getting emails off them saying my driving score is too low and that they're going to terminate my insurance because of my working shift where i have to drive into work at unsociable hours. wish i never got the black box insurance with them and wont be renewing with them that's for sure.

Pleased with the efficiency of renewing my policy but still can't get into the part where I can see how my driving is doing. Had a couple of passwords but neither worked.
