Young driver car insurance for budding graduates

University years are a time of change, learning and freedom. For many young people it might be the first time they've ever stayed away from home for any substantial length of time. So, young driver car insurance could be very useful for those students lucky enough to have a car.

Some undergraduates might move into halls of residence at the beginning of their first semester, within walking distance of the university canteen and all of the lecture rooms. However, for those students who don't manage to get a room on campus, and have to travel a little further to attend course modules, bringing their car to university could allow them to sleep in a little later – which is fantastic news when they've stayed up the night before finishing an essay, or talking with new friends.

Even if a place on the university campus is secured, having a car could let a new student get around easier and enable them to visit places of interest surrounding the university which may not be so simple to access on foot or by public transport. (However, insurethebox recommends that new students always speak to their chosen university regarding rules about cars on campus.)

If you are a university student, then lower mileage car insurance might be just what you're looking for because if you don't drive very far or maybe not very often, you could save money.

How we save you money
When you first join insurethebox, you buy 6,000 Base Miles of cover from us. If that lasts you the whole year, then you won't have to purchase more until the beginning of your new policy. If you think that you are going to drive further than 6,000 miles during the year then you can simply use our Top-Up Miles to keep yourself covered until the insurance requires renewal.

Our Top-Up Miles come in bundles of 250, 500 or 1000 miles, so if there's still quite a bit of the year left, maybe you'll want to buy 1000 miles, or if there's not long to go, maybe 250 miles would suit you better. Either way, you needn't worry about not using all your Top-Up Miles before the end of the year, because we'll roll them over to the next year for you when you take out your new insurance policy with us.

Bonuses for good driving
You may not have come across this word before, but at insurethebox, we use telematics. Telematics technology is really useful for us because it's what lets our technical team give you helpful tips about driving more safely.

When you get a policy with us, we install a Clear Box. Our Clear Box is small, but uses telematics technology which, when attached to your car, will allow it to collect data on your levels of acceleration and breaking, and many other driving habits.

Our hope is that we'll help you tackle driving behaviour which may be using up your fuel, wearing down car parts quicker or might even be putting you at risk on the road. By heeding our advice you could start earning yourself up to 100 Bonus Miles each month – just for responsible motoring.

Also, if the data collected shows that you've been driving positively, then when the time comes to renew your policy with us, it might be cheaper for you.

Shopping Rewards
In order to help you through your university years, when money can sometimes get tight, we not only offer you the chance to earn Bonus Miles but have teamed up with some top high street retailers. When you buy items from them online (anything from a CD to SAT NAV), through your personal Shopping Portal, we give you 25p worth of Reward Miles for every £10 spent.
