My son has been with the company a while on his black box everything except his acceleration is excellent. 100/100 for most areas and then 0/100 for acceleration- my son drives very safely if he’s acceleration is so bad surely his braking would also need to be bad to compensate. It’s a joke his last two payments have gone up an extra £80 each. On reading reviews it looks like there is a problem with the data when it comes to acceleration yet it’s the drivers getting penalised and not being looked into by the company sounds like a lot of fobbing off with photos of the box etc. As long as they are getting the money they don’t care and are praying on young/new drivers knowing they want to get a full years no claims etc and haven’t got many options when it comes to first time insurance. Overall It’s bringing his score down to 80 - that’s still good yet they are taking him to the cleaners when it comes to increased premium - looks a bit iffy and looks like they are trying to get as much out of him as possible before he ups and chooses a different company in a few months. He’s called and asked how much it would be to cancel he got the reply to wait a few days as his next payment is due out and she couldn’t give him a cancellation amount. I’m guessing he will then not be any cheaper to cancel part way through the month or continue to pay stupid amount. He’s a student who also works part time paying his way but with the hike in premium he’s going to have to have help from us to afford it. Ridiculous!

I don’t know why I have to have a black box fitted, I’ve been driving for 20 years and way to much paper work at the start, very overwhelming

Had their black box since November… all scores were 100% until end of January then my acceleration suddenly dropped to 0 within a month. I got charged £120 for the premium increase so rang and asked how this could be. Very helpful gentleman on the phone looked at the data for me… 50 odd incidents on one straight road for acceleration but there were road works for weeks on that road so it was flagging up poor acceleration in traffic!? But my braking was 100% so it doesn’t make sense… if I am accelerating excessively of erratically in traffic then how am I also braking perfectly? He asked me to send a picture of my box as he felt it needed investigating, I didn’t hear back for ages but kept asking on Facebook for any updates but they said no. I rang customer services again and they said head office had deemed there were no anomalies and the data was correct. Nobody told me! I asked how my acceleration could be 0% but my braking 100% but she couldn’t give me an answer. 0%!!!! And 100%!!! I recently looked on my account at the dashboard (I stopped looking because everyday my score went down and I couldn’t bear it) and 4 days after I complained my acceleration score has miraculously started to improve??? Have they reset my scoring? If so I want my £120 back and my score to go back to 100 as I should be due a premium refund for good driving. Something extremely dodgy and I won’t be letting this go.

Definitely avoid this company at all costs. When I took out this policy for months my scores were 100. Apart from time score. Then about a month before the March review my acceleration score started decreasing, it decreased every time I drove from then (no fluctuations, just decreased every single time I drove). All scores remained 99/100. I have dashcam footage of my driving, so I know there has been no change in my accelerating, but apparently it gets worse every day. Other reviews I've read, people are having this same issue. I spoke with one person at wise driving and this is because they want to increase your premiums. Low and behold, within a week or so, my premium increased as they decreased my score enough to charge additional premiums. My score was 99 for months, yet all of a sudden my driving is now worse. Also my score was still excellent at that point, but going from an excellent score to an excellent score, requires additional premiums (make sense? Nope). If I take a drive now, it will be guaranteed that my scores will be 99/100, but my acceleration will decrease from the previous score. This is 100% guaranteed. No change to the way I drive or accelerate, but wise driving thinks there's nothing wrong with the box and this is normal driving behaviour. 23 Feb (and months prior): 100, 25 Feb: 98, followed by scores: 94, 91, 88, 84, 82, 81, 77, 75, 75, 70, 70, 67, 65, 63, 57, 54, 51, 49, 48 Apparently that's normal. Avoid this company at all costs, the company effectively operates a racketeering operation.

Cancelled my policy today and it's the most costly cancellation fee I have encountered so far. They charge £75 cancellation fee + £90 for the black box. If they offer a black box insurance, they should cover this themselves and we shouldn't be expected to cover the costs when we decide to leave. The most I have been charged to cancel a policy was £35 and this is a big difference. I would choose my insurance provider carefully next time and won't be going for WiseDriving in the future if this is what they will charge if I decide to leave.

Hello, We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with your policy. There is indeed a £75 cancellation fee, which inform all our customers of before they purchase a policy. The £90 telematics fee is included in the cost of your policy but it is non-refundable. This is the cost of the device and for the collection and analysis of the data. We also ensure our customers are informed of this fee prior to purchase. Many thanks, Holly

awful awful company !!! if i could give this 0 stars i would. they increased my premium due to bad driving behaviour when all of my stats were excellent/good except my acceleration! One employee said that i should email a picture of my black box as he thinks there was a problem with it. He said it would take up to 3 days- this was early february !!!!!!!! it’s almost been a month and i haven’t heard a straight answer !!! all the employees don’t know what they’re talking about- i’ve had different excuses from each of them. They are cancelling my insurance because of this. Absolute joke of a company- if you could even call it that. I still haven’t got answers as they don’t answer their emails or their phone.DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! I’m not the only one that has had this issue according to previous reviews.

Hello, We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service you have received. We can take a look into this for you, if you can email your information to us? In the meantime, we measure your braking in the same way we measure your acceleration. Gradual and steady is the aim. Any abrupt or harsh braking will effect the score. Many thanks, Holly

What went wrong; Persistent issue with inaccurate data for acceleration score yet Wise Driving insist there's nothing wrong with the box (how can they tell this by a photo that was emailed.to them I'll never know)!! Data request made (company who manage the data are a subsidiary of Wise Driving ao won't hold my breath for a response).... Can't get a straight/definitive answer from any advisers (I don't know if this is due to lack of adequate training &/or the employees just can't be a*sed).... Due to this ongoing issue they want to charge Me an extra £177, even d*ck turpin wore a mask!! They say its due to poor acceleration, I think not!! They have admitted there's a data error so are using an average to work out my score for acceleration, how the fluff is that accurate when they're openly admitting that there's error's/issue's with the data!!

Awful customer service. I’ve had a black box policy for 2 weeks and all my scores are excellent (100% or minimum 90%) but the acceleration varies between 0% (very poor) and 25% poor. At the start it was good but now is at the lowest point it can be. I have not changed the way I drive. I am a 42 year old mother, usually travelling with my child in the car so am super careful. I don’t speed (my speed score is 100%) so how can my acceleration be so poor? I think the box is faulty, no matter how I drive (I’ve experimented accelerating fast and accelerating gently and acceleration super slowly and the score does not really improve). I think this is a way to get money out of me by increasing my monthly premiums. I’m so annoyed with this company as no one answers the phone or replies to any live chats or emails. Seems I’m not the only person who has experienced the same issue with the same company. AVOID!
