Disappointed
As a customer I was very happy with the app based car insurance. Unfortunately a month before my renewal, they wrote to me saying they wouldn’t renew the policy. No real explanation, I’ve 15 years plus no claims, I’m retired so just social driving.
Maybe it’s because I’ve a Tesla Y which unfortunately can be written off, even in what appears to be a minor accident. Anyway I got sorted elsewhere very easily and will never use them again.

Easy transfer to following year at a reasonable price for insurance. If this was my car insurance?
Dodgy policy
The policy cost and terms look very good on telematics policy. No one speaks about the Telematics policy when policy is being bought. But a small lettered clause where use of insurer phone by passengers is recorded against insurer history. Constant flow emails and messages with threat of cancelling the policy is nighmare. Stay away from this Insurerer. You get better policies with similar telematics. With cheap gadget this insurer is unreliable and good stay away from
