Black box insurance issues

Kimi31

Can any one point me in the right direction?
My daughter had car insurance with black box
Her score is currently under the required amount as she is driving outside the preferred driving times ( she works odd shifts)
She works 50 miles away so a round trip is 100
She’s been on to the insurance but they’ve said she needs to drive in the preferred times (10am-5pm)
I’ve been driving her car when she is car sharing to try and get the score up, but it’s not moving and they are threatening to cancel
Her insurance
If she changed to a non black box insurance it will push up her yearly premium to £2500+
With a massive up front payment
Can anyone recommend a resolution ?

If she can't fulfil the terms of her black box insurance I'm not sure what resolution there is other than her not having black box insurance.

The whole point of this type of insurance is that you agree to partake in less "risky" driving behavior for lower premiums.

It's not your daughters fault that her shift patterns mean she can't keep to the terms of the insurance policy but equally it's not the insurance companies fault either.

You should get better premiums that £2500+ with the right car choice.

I stuck a ton of cars through the price comparison website, so many in fact they actually banned me.. All sorted with a quick call or email.. Just saying i am a genuine user trying to find the right car for a young/new driver.

I found that once a car reaches a certain age premiums increased, just because a car is group 1 insurance does not mean its cheaper to insure compared to a group 7 car.

And that 2 seemingly identical cars gave different prices, Same model, same trim level, same engine size/spec, same year and even the same colour yet one was dearer to insure when using the reg number.
