Go Girls doesn't offer black box telematics insurance. Its website says:
'Black box car insurance can bring benefits, but it’s inherently risky. Wouldn’t you prefer to know where you are with your insurance? Wouldn’t it be better to know exactly how much you should expect to pay each month? If nothing else, it makes budgeting easier! And for price-minded new drivers, that’s no small consideration.'
Taking out a multi-car insurance policy can help reduce your insurance costs if you have more than one car.
Go Girl does not offer this.
Temporary insurance is not offered by Go Girl. Policies can only be taken out for 12 months.

But Sabre has about 1.6% of market share so received a much smaller proportion of complaints than might be expected for its size. To put complaints in context, 67 firms had 10 or more complaints each and those totalled 4,550 complaints. Nearly 200 firms had fewer than 10 each, sharing just 479 complaints between them.
