Telematics explained
Telematics is not a new invention and has been used for over a decade in commercial vehicles, by the emergency services and Formula One teams. The technology is now widely being used in road cars.
The ingenie box is a self-contained unit the size of a smartphone that includes a:
- GPS unit which captures when and where the car is driven
- high frequency motion sensor which captures how the car is driven
- SIM card which is used to transmit the data
The cost of the ingenie box and the fitting of the box is included in the price of your insurance.

- Data is then transmitted from the box to secure servers via the Orange network, allowing us to assess your driving style
