About this product

Car insurance premiums can become costly depending on your driving history among other factors. Telematics policies are designed to lower the cost of your premium by tracking aspects of your driving, but how well do they actually shape up? We collect Carrot car insurance reviews to help you make an informed decision about your next provider.

Carrot Insurance was launched in 2012, with the goal of encouraging safer driving with the use of rewards. By installing a telematics box into your vehicle, Carrot can monitor factors like speed and reckless behaviour in order to score your driving. For those scoring higher, weekly rewards are available to claim.

If you’re looking to be rewarded for your safe driving, read our Carrot Insurance car insurance reviews. Policies such as this are ideal for learners, new drivers and even more experienced drivers.

Review of the Carrot Insurance, Car Insurance:

student/new driver insurance

this seems to be a great insurance provider for new or student drivers at a reasonable price Reviewed on: 24th August 2020

Disgusting company

Absolutely disgusting I called carrot after receiving a letter to inform me my policy had been cancelled. I was informed they had sent a notification of cancellation 7 days prior to this (I am still to receive this letter). Carrot advised my insurance had been cancelled as I had exceeded my allowed miles, I argued this as I purchased another 2000 miles just a few weeks before changing my car and I have not drove this car very far at all! They were adamant their gps system is correct and I had in fact exceeded these miles around 2 weeks ago (utter nonsense). They agreed to investigate but advised I would not be insured on my car pending their decision (which is illegal). As I told carrot I will be driving my car under the impression I am insured until the issue is resolved. Absolute joke of a company with NO customer service skills. All they want is your money and will charge an obscene amount for any little change to your policy - £150 to change my car?! I ADVISE EVERYONE TO STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS EXCUSE OF AN INSURANCE BROKER Reviewed on: 1st November 2016

Brilliant insurance. Would highly recommend

You get rewarded for driving in normal everyday life. Brilliant incentive just for driving well. Reviewed on: 30th August 2016

Not as good as first impression

After an initial phone call, I was impressed with what I heard about carrot and, as my quote was only valid for 24 hours, I bought car insurance early. They threatened to cancel my policy as they hadn't fit a black box in my car, because my previous insurance had not ended and thus their one not started and so they could not physically put one in. I had to make several phone calls regarding it only to be told i should have notified carrot i had black box insurance before, which i did in the beginning. Second to that, on the day my insurance went live they told me i was not the policy holder at my previous policy and thus i owed them more money. Several phone calls later, they agreed they made the mistake, however pointing out that they didn't believe i had 1 years no discount as i had not had a licence for a year, completely not acknowledging the fact that you can have insurance as a provisional driver.

Not good

Claiming with carrot is quite simply painful. I would say avoid if you can. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2016

Good, but can be improved.

- Excellent service: choice of billing, payment, documentation options - everything you can find nowadays (paper, electronic, online, bank account, credit card, etc.), personal online library containing all downloadable documents (from bills and policy statements to registration cards) - Regular customer service: late but professional replies from the representatives Reviewed on: 5th November 2015
