We send you a Ticker device, which is small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, by Royal Mail. It usually takes a couple of days to reach you.

There's no waiting around for engineers to arrive, no one fiddling around under your dashboard, and if you change your vehicle, you can move your Ticker device yourself.

Depending on your vehicle’s compatibility, you’ll either get a stick-on Ticker box or a plug-in Ticker device.

The plug-in Ticker device is an Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) device. We post the device out to you and you follow the instructions included to plug it in to your vehicle’s OBD port – this is usually near your steering wheel and only takes a few seconds. It draws minimal power from your car vehicle and sends us data directly.

When you leave Ticker, you can unplug the device.

It's a small, round box that fits in the palm of your hand. Inside, there's an accelerometer, GPS and a battery designed to last for at least your policy year.

We post the device out to you and you stick it to your windscreen. Download the Ticker app and pair it with your box. The device then collects data and sends it to us via your app. This will have a minimal effect on your data plan.

When you leave Ticker, you can take the box off your windscreen.
