Insurance is moving away from general assumptions and stepping into a smarter, fairer era. How telematics will transform car insurance pricing is all about putting you – the driver – in control of your premium. Gone are the days of being judged by your age or postcode. Telematics brings personalised pricing, powered by real driving data.
Telematics works by tracking how you drive using your smartphone or a device installed in your car. It measures speed, acceleration, braking, cornering, and even what time of day you’re driving. This data is then used to build a profile of your driving habits. The safer you are, the lower your premium.
For young drivers or anyone fed up with high insurance costs, telematics can be a game-changer. It rewards good habits and helps drivers understand where they can improve. Some providers even offer in-app feedback after every journey, giving real-time tips to help lower your quote over time.
Rooster uses telematics differently. Instead of tracking you forever, Rooster offers a free 3-week Test Drive. Your phone sensors collect driving data, and their AI analyses it to give you a fair price. If you’re a safe driver, you could save up to 40% on car insurance – no black box, no long-term tracking.
Not only can you save on insurance, but Rooster also helps you cut down on car expenses with up to 50% off MOTs, servicing and repairs. Download the app to take your Test Drive and get your quote today.
