Pay-as-you-go cover from insurethebox is not a curfew car insurance scheme

Looking to get pay-as-you-go car insurance, but find curfew car insurance to be too restrictive, then you've come to the right place.

Understandably, when new motorists pass their driving test, even if they have had to take it a few times before succeeding, they're inevitably thrilled and take great pleasure in driving about on errands and meeting friends. They don't care if it's raining outside – they have a car!

The world is a new driver's oyster because finally they're able to take charge of plans, without having to ask if a friend or family member is free to give them a lift. However, there are some new drivers who choose to get curfew car insurance and so they can't drive during certain hours of the night without being penalised by the policy providers.

This doesn't seem fair to us.

insurethebox believes that if you are a new driver, you need time to familiarise yourself with roads at night. Driving in the daytime is very different, so a whole range of other skills need to be developed for driving in the dark – finding your indicator and windscreen wiper levers behind the steering wheel is difficult enough for a start!

If you can't drive at night under the terms of your curfew car insurance policy then these skills might be lacking when you take to the road with insurance that does let you drive at all hours without penalising you for being a night-owl.

insurethebox's pay-as-you-go cover uses similar technology to such policies in order to offer you cheaper car insurance, but we believe incentives are better for new drivers than penalties and restrictions.

How do we do it?
Our brand of telematics insurance rewards you for positive driving. So if you choose to only drive during daylight hours you will receive driving bonuses.

At the outset, we ask you to purchase 6,000 miles of car cover. If you need more miles then come back to the website, click on your personal Customer Portal and buy some Top-Up Miles. We offer them in bundles of 250, 500 or 1000 miles and can roll them over to the next year if you don't manage to use them all up during the life of your policy.

Basically, pay-as-you-go car insurance does exactly what it says on the tin – though we hasten to add that our car insurance doesn't actually come in a tin (just a little disclaimer there).

Bonuses for safer driving
insurethebox like to help new drivers become more responsible on the roads and reduce their carbon footprint.

When you join us we attach a telematics device to your car. It's a mobile-phone sized box and it goes underneath your dashboard. Once it's in place it collects important data on your driving habits, enabling our technical team to, hopefully, help you change these habits for the better.

The safer you drive each month the more Bonus Miles we award you. You can earn up to 100 Bonus Miles a month.
