Half the time my blackbox won't connect to my phone and just this morning it said the app is having a problem so I couldn't check it before I went on my drive

Hi Janos, We’re sorry you’re unhappy about our fees. Like most other insurers, our fees cover some of our business costs, like staffing our contact centres, managing your policy, and maintaining and developing our systems. We try to keep our fees in line with other insurers. We also make these fees as clear as possible in any documents and on our website, as well as explaining that they’re non-refundable. Please visit https://www.hastingsdirect.com/about-us/our-fees for more information. ~Theo, Social Media Team

It is odd to ask this about buying and having little or no interaction

It doesn’t give the privacy you deserve as a new driver and it tracks if passengers have been on your phone or even if you accelerated too fast little things like that don’t need to be recorded when a black box is purely for keep record of my speed

Hello Tilly, The Youdrive policy is slightly different to a standard car insurance product, and we appreciate that it’s not for everyone. We do ask that you read the terms before you buy the policy as we strive to make it clear what kind of policy this is and what is required before it is purchased. As a result we're very sorry if this information wasn't seen and we'll pass this back to the relevant team. Please note, we ask that you do not give the paired phone to passengers while the car is moving as this can impact the score. The app only recognises use not the user. We track a number of actions such as: accelerating harshly, driving above the speed limit or using your phone while driving.   If this policy is not suitable and you need to discuss alternatives, please give us a call on 0333 321 9801. ~Theo, Social Media Team

My first time with this insurance company and have to admit that everything is done very professional way. Easy to understand and very straight forward. Mobile app is very clear and for that price I just had to give it a go. Definitely try them !
