Last year over a million drivers opted to have their driving ability monitored with a black box or plug in device in exchange for lower car insurance premiums.
Founder Matt Munro recently said that its car insurance consumers were growing up and in the past five years it had seen a shift towards an older age group from the black box younger generation.
This reflected a growing number of drivers who wanted car insurance policies that reward safe driving with reduced prices and maybe help improve their driving at the same time.
If you want telematics insurance
If you like the idea of a rewards scheme or performance monitoring
If you are a younger or inexperienced driver
If you want to use price comparison sites
Founder and CEO Matt Munro wrote a recent editorial in Insurance Post discussing the growth of price comparison sites as insurance distributers. He also made an argument for telematics entering mainstream car insurance and becoming not just for younger inexperienced drivers.
The company recently teamed with Earnix solutions in a deployment that signals the growing demand for sophisticated data and analytics platforms to deliver greater product personalisation. Market intelligence will be used to compute prices in real-time.
Machine learning technology will aid with customer targeting and selection that the company hopes will translate to higher retention rates at renewal.
