Turn Good Driving into Great Savings

We’re excited to introduce BoxClever, a new insurance product offering in partnership with AIG.

BoxClever is designed with value and safe driving in mind. It rewards drivers who consistently show good habits behind the wheel – meaning premiums that reflect how you drive, not just your age or driving history. It’s ideal for younger drivers, new drivers, or even experienced motorists who want lower premiums.

The Telematics device tracks aspects of your driving and in turn helps you become a better driver as well as offering additional benefits which you can read more about below.

How Does BoxClever Work?

When you take out a BoxClever car insurance policy with us, information is collected from your telematics device – AIG BoxClever. The telematics device then sends AIG your driving data which they analyse to find out how safely you drive. You can access this data on your driving portal.

AIG Driving Portal

After you’ve been driving for some time you can view your telematics data by using your personal login to AIG’s ‘Rate My Drive’ portal which you can access through your MyAIG account.

What Information Does The BoxClever Device Record?

The BoxClever device collects a range of data about your driving. This data typically contains:

  • Speed
  • How smoothly you accelerate/decelerate
  • How sharply you turn
  • What time of day you drive
  • The length of your journeys
  • How often you drive
  • Your total mileage

 

Using the ‘RateMyDrive’ portal through your ‘MyAIG’ account, you will able to see your driving performance, with feedback on which areas you are receiving a high score on and the areas which you may need to improve. All of this information will help you understand your driving habits.
