During my time using O2 Drive, I was able to afford a very easy and quick car insurance for my brand new car. When the COVID-19 Pandemic began, I was struggling with the insurance rates, however O2 was able to support me in that, and extended my insurance pay to allow me to build my funds backup in order for me to insure my next new car with them.

Disgusting service

I was driving my vehicle when I got hit by kids racing an Audi. They hit my drivers side pushing me into a lamppost, so... I was driving my vehicle when I got hit by kids racing an Audi. They hit my drivers side pushing me into a lamppost, so I had a double impact. The offender then took off. My son who was in the vehicle with me received his insurance about a year later. I had to wait two full years and received £3000 but not without fighting for it. My car was written off which cost me, then my insurance went through the roof because I was held liable for the incident because the offender drove off. I could not afford the insurance and had to find other ways to be able to drive. I had back and neck damage as well as psychological trauma. O2 were extremely unhelpful pushing my insurance up so high I had to cancel it when I was the innocent party. Waiting 2 years for a claim and having to fight for the pittance recieved was very disappointing. I have never claimed before and I do the right and legal thing by insuring my vehicle and I would of expected O2 to be more helpful. Instead they just caused even more stress in an already stressful situation. They are nothing but a money grabbing company with no care for their customers. Read more Read less

About O2 Drive

Although best known as a mobile phone provider, in 2015 O2 launched Drive, a car insurance service aimed at younger drivers.
O2 Drive is split into two products: Box on Board and the O2 Drive app.
O2 Drive box on board is a black box insurance product designed to help inexperienced drivers improve their driving and lower their insurance premiums. Black box technology - also known as "telematics" - sends data about your driving to your insurer, which means they can offer you lower insurance premiums if you prove yourself a safe driver.
The app also lets you manage your insurance from your phone. It shows you how safely you've been driving - a "driver score" - and presents a list of perks that you're entitled to.
These perks are a key part of the O2 Drive offering. They include discounts and offers from major retailers. Many of these perks are separate to those offered to mobile customers through O2 Priority, so you don't have to be an O2 mobile customer to benefit.
You can read customer reviews of O2 Drive below. If you're an existing customer, write your own review and let our community know what you think.
