Tesco Bank black box insurance works by installing a black box in your car to monitor your driving. Your safe driving is then rewarded by giving you monthly bonus miles.
Benefits include:
- Fixed premium for the year, no curfew or fines.
- A choice of 6,000, 8,000 or 10,000 miles; top up if you need it.
- Accident alert. The box can sense any strong impact on drivers' cars and contact the emergency services on their behalf.
- Theft tracking. Tesco car insurance can help assist the police in finding policyholders' cars if they are stolen.
- Monitor your driving. You can check your driving style online via your own online portal.
Tesco Bank box car insurance is administered by Insure the Box and underwritten by a specialist range of insurers - Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Company of Europe SE.
However, your renewal price may increase or decrease depending on your driving behaviour – for example, if you’re speeding or driving dangerously.
