All about Woop and the Woop Buddy!
Woop – Making Insurance Fair!
Woop Insurance was started with the aim of making car insurance fairer and more affordable for new and young drivers, but that doesn't mean that only they can benefit from what Woop has to offer.
If you're new to driving, whatever your age, you'll likely have a pretty expensive premium to pay, this is because most insurers make the assumption that a new driver is a bad driver, and charges you accordingly. With a Woop policy, we let you prove that you're a good and safe driver. We do this by installing a Woop Buddy telematics device into your car - or by sending you one to install yourself. We won't change your premium each month like some telematics insurers do, but if you drive well, you'll get a renewal premium that you'll struggle to beat.
And if you're a more experienced driver with a couple of year No Claims Discount to your name, thinking, why should I get a telematics policy? Well here a few reasons why Woop can be a great choice even for drivers with more expeirence:
- Driver score - we can see how good a driver you are, so we could still save you money compared to other insurers.
- Choose your mileage - we don't limit how many miles you can drive, you choose your mileage when you take out your policy.
- No Night-time curfews - we won't tell you when you can and can't drive.
- Safety - If we think you've had an accident, we'll call you to check you're OK - does your insurer call?
- Security - Because your vehicle has a Woop buddy, if it gets stolen, we can track it's location and work with the Police to recover it.
What is the Woop Buddy?
The Woop Buddy is a telematics (black Box) device, that provides us with information on how you drive, measuring speed, braking, cornering and acceleration. We then assign a value to each of these, and score your driving out of 100, the higher your score the cheaper we'll be able to make your renewal premium.
The driver score and all the information on your driving that we collect is available for you to see on your driver portal account - which you can log into HERE.
Crash Alert Notifications
Provided we can talk to you within 24 hours of an incident taking place, we can reduce the standard excess of £750 by 50%, so not only can we help you quicker, you'll also save money. We operate a 24/7 claims team, so you'll always be able to notify us of an incident, or get help when you need it most.
