Broker says deal could save drivers up to 50%

Swinton has launched a telematics pilot scheme called Drive it Down, underwritten by Provident.

The telematics black boxes will be made by Wunelli.

Swinton will install the box into policyholders’ cars for free, and customers can then go online to get feedback on their driving behaviour.

The broker will give customers a monthly score that will determine their premium price, which Swinton said could be up to 50% less than previously.

Drive it Down customers can also have their car tracked if it is stolen and will also get a courtesy car.

Swinton chief executive Christophe Bardet said, “Swinton is committed to investing in new technology such as telematics that will benefit drivers by helping to reduce their insurance premiums if they are safe drivers.”
