Amazingly, more than half of these vehicles are never recovered. This leads to increased costs for car insurance companies, which, inevitably, then gets passed on to the consumer.
But what if there was another way – a way of ensuring that a much higher percentage of vehicles were recovered? What if this had the potential to mean cheaper car insurance for consumers? Is there really such a win-win product out there?

The answer is a resounding ‘yes'. This is because with Drive Wiser GPS tracker insurance you can be confident in the knowledge that your vehicle is far more likely to be tracked and recovered, creating cheaper car insurance for you.
GPS tracker insurance
With Drive Wiser you can be confident that so long as your device is transmitting data from the car it is possible to pinpoint the location of your vehicle if you believe it has been stolen. The GPS signals sent from the black box can help the police with their efforts to recover your car. It is little wonder that this benefit of black box car insurance cover has been hailed as the ‘ultimate innovation in the fight against vehicle theft'.
One great aspect about this ‘side effect' of a telematics policy is that it is completely free. For example, many owners of rare and expensive vehicles pay an annual fee or monthly premium to have a tracking device fitted to their car, in addition to their car insurance costs; with Drive Wiser it is just an added benefit of the technology – there is no extra charge.
So, with Drive Wiser, if you believe that your vehicle has been stolen, all you need do is notify the police and then call our 24/7 Stolen Vehicle Helpline. Once we have your crime reference number we can assist the police, when possible, in the recovery of your vehicle.
Telematics - here to help
Telematics (also called black box) insurance has been gaining in popularity over the past few years. Like a black box in an aircraft, it records vital details about your car journeys and driving habits.
However, Drive Wiser is distinct from other telematics insurers in that we put the safety of our drivers before anything else. The data recorded by the black box will let you know how well you are driving, encouraging you to correct potentially risky behaviour – such as speeding, harsh braking, fast or late cornering – to make your journeys smoother, safer and reduce your risk on the roads .
This doesn't mean that we will inflict penalties every time we see a driver make a mistake. Instead, we find that trusting drivers to improve, through providing them with feedback and encouragement is a much more effective way of creating safer drivers.
If you drive well throughout the life of the policy your driving score will reflect that and at renewal we will be able to offer you the best possible price on your following year's car insurance.
Plus, the data collected can be called upon in the event of a claim to help establish liability, settle the claim quickly, and keep costs down – which allows us to offer some of the cheapest car insurance deals available.
Enjoy the future of telematics
Drive Wiser GPS tracker car insurance is just like traditional motor cover but with all the benefits of in-car smart technology, using the black box data to help keep you and your car protected.
