If you're planning on changing your car, go to the RAC Black Box app for a new quote and we'll update your documents in the app. You can move your device yourself.
Your device
If you’ve got a stick-on device, we'll send you a new adhesive ring to make sure it sticks well
Take your stick-on device off your old windscreen, or unplug your plug-in device
Stick your device to your new windscreen with the new adhesive ring, or plug your device into your new vehicle – we’ll send you instructions on where it will go in your new car
You don't have to go through setting up the device again, just check the app is updating as normal.
Your car on the Motor Insurance Database
The Motor Insurance Database is where every insured vehicle appears. Police use it when they scan reg numbers, to check if a vehicle has insurance.
If you're asked about your insurance by police
Up until the time you've chosen to switch your vehicle on the policy, your old vehicle is still insured. However, the Motor Insurance Database will already show your new vehicle.
Your insurance documents in the RAC Black Box app will show that you're insured on your old vehicle until your chosen time to switch. The police will understand the situation, but you can start a chat with us in the app if they need further information.
