Do I need to install a black box?
No, you don’t need to have a black box installed to take out a policy with Marshmallow. This applies to all our plans, including Marshmallow Go.
Do I get a discount if I have one?
We don’t currently offer any discounts for having a black box in your vehicle. Your premium is calculated based on the information you provide when you buy your policy.
What is a black box?
A black box (sometimes called telematics insurance) is a small device fitted in your car. It tracks things like:
How fast you drive
How smoothly you brake and accelerate
The times of day or night you drive
The routes you take
Some insurers use this information to decide the cost of your insurance premium.
Key things to remember
Marshmallow policies do not require a black box.
Having a black box will not reduce your price with us.
You can still get cover without needing to install any extra devices in your car.
