    How BoxClever Car Insurance Works

    • When you take out a BoxClever Young Driver Car Insurance policy with us, AIG will arrange for a free black box to be installed in your vehicle.
    • The device combines GPS, an accelerometer, a SIM-card and Gyroscope to record your driving: where and when you drive, how smoothly you accelerate or brake, your speed, journey lengths, time of day, and more.
    • All data is securely transmitted to AIG, the underwriter of this policy, and analysed. As you drive safely over time, your driving “score” reflects it - and that score influences your future premium and may earn you discounts.
    • You can log into the ‘ratemydriving’ portal (via your MyAIG account) to view a summary of your journeys, driving scores and see how you’re improving.

    The staff that looked after my renewal were all excellent. I was changing my car a few days before renewal and they took care of everything. They helped me with my payment (I was stressed at the time) and were so patient. Overall, very happy with the service. Janette 1st - Mar - 2026
