Black boxes - are they worth it? - 02/09/2019 16:12
I mean in cars - not aircraft
So I think we'll be getting a used Fiat 500 within the next few months and have been checking the insurance quotes. I (just picked up 3 points in the coupe which is a story in itself ), my wife and my 17 yo daughter on her provisional have been quoted through a household name insurer £460 for a twin air and £505 for a 1.2. I was actually quite surprised how reasonable these quotes were to be honest however if I want to add a BB they want an additional £160. The blurb is the usual ie over time if careful driving is demonstrated then your premium should drop. If the data shows that you drive like a nutta then your premium will go up. If I drive the car it won't be like "driving Miss Daisy" so if I unplug the unit (don't know what T&C's are) then it would look well dodgy I'd have thought So I'm kinda thinking it's not worth the hassle so any views / experiences please?
And while I'm at it any views on the twin air?
