BoxClever Telematics Young Driver Car Insurance

As a new or young driver, car insurance can often be complicated. BoxClever Car Insurance is perfect for young or first-time drivers with 0 years No Claim Bonus. BoxClever uses black box technology to reward safe driving with cheaper quotes, helping you save money while building valuable driving experience.

Typical BoxClever Cover Options

What is BoxClever Black Box Insurance?

BoxClever is a telematics-based car insurance policy that uses a small “black box” installed in your car to monitor driving behaviour in real time. The device then collects a range of data about your driving. This data typically contains

  • Your speed
  • Smoothness of accelerations/braking
  • Sharpness of turns
  • The length of your journeys
  • How often you drive

 

How our BoxClever Car Insurance Works

  • When you take out a BoxClever Young Driver Car Insurance policy with us, we’ll arrange for a free black box to be installed in your vehicle.
  • The device combines GPS, an accelerometer, a SIM-card and in-car hardware 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.

    We value your feedback

    Just the right amount of contact! I have recommended An Post Insurance to family and friends, mainly because of the great quote I got on my insurance, and also because they offer just the right amount of communication for me. I really appreciated the balance they offer between being in touch (a helpful phone-call from Fiona) and not being pushy (a few important emails). A great experience overall, I am happy to continue as an An Post Insurance customer for another year at least! Emma 28th - Jan - 2026
