Pay as you drive insurance that could be easy on the pocket

Pay as you drive insurance, which is a great way for many new drivers to save money, was exceptionally handy for young people in 2010.

That year, average car insurance for young drivers had risen to £1,956 and was set to rise another 40% for some drivers. As well as that, petrol prices kept on rising and jobs were scarce.

As a young person, the cost of living can be difficult enough as it is, but in 2010 young people really took a financial battering. Luckily, we launched our pay as you drive car insurance the very same year, to help new drivers get cheaper motor cover.

How it works
After paying for 6,000 Base Miles of cover when you start your policy, you don't have to pay any more unless you feel the need to purchase Top-Up Miles with us. If you only drive 6,000 miles in the 12 months following the commencement of your new policy, then there's no need to do anything until you next renew. If you do need extra miles, then you can buy cover in bundles of 250, 500 or 1,000 miles.

A maximum of 100 Bonus Miles a month can be received by simply driving safely and our Reward Miles can be collected by buying items you fancy, online, through your Personal Shopping Portal.

Positive driving habits
insurethebox believes that instead of punishing what is seen as bad driving behaviour, we can help by offering you tips on how to improve your driving skills, and by rewarding and enforcing the good driving attitudes you already possess.

Young drivers are often penalised for activities such as driving at night, or quite simply, for being young. It is unfortunate that road traffic accident statistics show that young people are more likely to experience a car crash. Young men in this category find that their premiums are even dearer than a girl of the same age's premium, because, when less than 21 years of age, men are ten times more likely to crash than men 35 years of age or above.

Insurethebox doesn't think it's fair to tar all young drivers with the same brush. The large majority of young drivers are careful on the roads and so we offer all new drivers the possibility of finding cheaper car insurance, while being rewarded for safe motoring – hence our motto drive safe and save.
