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
