About this product

Find out how genuine customers have found their experience with LittleBox by checking the Admiral LittleBox reviews on Smart Money People.

As a new driver, insurance premiums can be costly. A common way many people reduce the price of their premium is by installing a black box, a telematics device designed to measure how well you drive in order to reward safe drivers. Admiral’s Little Box policy does exactly this.

For new drivers, choosing a telematics policy can be a great way to save money. With Admiral’s LittleBox, safe driving sees you rewarded with a discount on your premium when it comes to renewal. On top of this, Admiral offers free tracking if your car is stolen, as well as regular feedback on your driving, highlighting any areas in which you could improve. If this is something you’re interested in, read our Admiral LittleBox reviews to find out more.

Have you had an Admiral LittleBox policy? Were you satisfied with the feedback that was given regarding your driving? Did you have to make a claim, and if so, how well was it dealt with? When it was time to renew, did you find the discounted price to be reasonable? Whether good or bad, leave an Admiral LittleBox review on Smart Money People today.

BEWARE 'Little box' means you CANNOT drive at night!!

My son has been driving for just over a year and he has always bought insurance with a black box. He has had telematics black boxes with both Hastings and Admiral and always got good scores. This time he was fleeced!! Going for another black box, this scores you differently. There are 3 areas: Smoothness, speed and driving at night between 10pm and 4am. Every week they send you a score, with NO detail. He always got 3/5 for smoothness, 5/5 for speed but only ever got 1/5 for night driving when he literally only pops to the shops at night and occassionally drives to pub as he doesn't drink. NOWHERE on the T&Cs does it say DON'T drive at night. He has now cancelled his policy and gone elsewhere which has been a very costly exercise. They MUST be clearer in their info/T&Cs. 'Little box' means you CANNOT drive at night!! They should put this in their T&Cs.... 'avoid driving' is the wrong wording! DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Reviewed on: 3rd September 2026

The bluntest of blunt tools.

My wife is a very careful and cautious driver and has never had an accident in over 25 years. She drives a BMW IX3. The initial blackbox review arrived today telling us that her driving is 'poor'. The smoothness was 4/4 and speeding 5/5 but the night time driving was 1/5 which gave an overall score of 'poor'. So, they decided that we drive excessively at night 10pm-4am. The fact is that she is 70 years old and generally goes to bed at 10.30pm. The exceptions are Wednesday and Friday nights when we go out (3 miles away) and get home by 10.30pm. So, 2 x 30 minutes per week which represents about 30 miles per month but reduces the driving score from 5/5 to 1/5. The problem is that the blackbox scoring is a very blunt instrument. It seems that driving at 10,01pm and driving through the night from a rave attract the same score, In any case the feedback is without detail and does not help. Overall, it seems useless as a tool to help driving, and I am actively looking round for a better alternative. Reviewed on: 13th December 2025

littlebox policy

The little box app having issues recording trips. In this case, you need to call customer care every two weeks, otherwise admiral will terminate your policy. Customer service tell you some troubleshooting steps, and ask you to take short trips to test it that's resolved. The steps never worked for me. one liner feedback, think twice before you get littlebox policy. I personally don't recommend littlebox. Reviewed on: 19th October 2025

Skill issue

If you ain’t getting 5/5 on everything then it literally is just a skill issue. Had mine for 3 months, and my score has been to the max each week. Everyone complaining about the blackbox are just bad drivers. But I will admit it does suck having a blackbox. Reviewed on: 30th June 2025

Do not use this company!!

I joined admiral littlebox in March after having been driving for 1 year. They offered the cheapest quote and due to only having 1 years no claims it was expensive to not get a blackbox. However, whilst last year I had a constantly high rating with my blackbox in the first 3 months with admiral my feedback has been rated poor. I have 5* speeding 4* smoothness and 1* night driving. I have now after 3 months received an email at 8:30 in the evening telling me my insurance will be cancelled in 7 days. You dont get any kind of warning they just give you a 7 days notice that it will be cancelled. Even when I was at uni and didnt have my car my score remained as poor despite not driving! This company is a complete rip off! If I cancel my insurance before they do i have to pay £160. £60 for cancelling and £100 for the deactivation of my blackbox which again is just unnecessary amount of money. I will never be using admiral for insurance again and I will warn all others to not use this company either. Reviewed on: 26th June 2025

Horrible experience with Vodafone Black Box team

Horrible experience with Vodafone Black Box team that lead to me reading their reviews, then cancelling the installation of the black box and paying a higher insurance cost instead, just to avoid dealing with them again. Theu were awful. Admiral were great and reset the policy to the cost without the black box. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025

!!! DO NOT USE THIS AS AN OPTION !!

DO NOT USE IT!!!! - i HOPE TO SAVE SOME OF YOU HERE! - What will happen is you will get the insurance and in 1 month they will tell you they have to increase the insurance because of driving data. Its not that you will be driving badly, its because they need to report bad driving in order to keep hiking up your premium. When you cancel your premium after realising you fell into the trap - you will be asked to pay another £160 to leave the contract. Reviewed on: 24th March 2025

Having read negative reviews about Littlebox, I had reservations, but my insurance had gone through the roof due to having my car stolen and it offered the best deal. 8 months in, I have a driver rating of excellant - 100. If others are not happy about the scores the are receiving, maybe their driving skills are not as good as they thought they were! Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
