There are a number of conditions that affect when your journey will start and end. We know that this means that part of your journey may be missing but that is OK.

We require you to complete a minimum of 500Kms in the first 90 days of your policy. This then allows us to reward you based upon your overall score. You should continue using the App all the time we provide you with car insurance. 23. Why hasn t AIG XLNTdriver recorded my journey? On occasions due to circumstances beyond all controls the AIG XLNTdriver App may not have recorded a journey.

24. What does my AIG XLNTdriver score mean? A score between 0 100 is representative of how you drive. Your driving behaviours are compared to that of an advanced driver and you are scored accordingly. A better score shows how more closely your driving behaviours reflect that of an advanced driver and vice versa. As well as having an overall score, your score will also be categorized into four different categories which are: Smooth Driving, Mobile Usage, Speed and Time Component. 25. Are there any further tips? Try and avoid braking hard. Sometimes it can t be helped but gentle braking shows good anticipation of traffic flows. Try and avoid accelerating hard. Drive within the posted speed limits. Besides being illegal, driving above the speed limit will be detrimental to your score. Drive in pace with other traffic. Leave yourself adequate distance from the vehicle in front to provide you with more time to react to changing conditions. Drive Safely. Research has shown that driving well is synonymous with driving safely. Being a safe driver will increase your score. Above all, drive safely and in accordance with the rules of the road. 26. Will my Premium increase if I score badly? We will not apply any increased premium based upon your score. We do, however, reward good driving based upon the overall score you attain. 27.

29. What if I do not agree with my Score? We do not investigate an individual score. We use the overall score to calculate any displayed discounts. The overall score takes account of minor incidents that may have occurred on individual journeys and provides an overall picture of your driving behaviours over a period of time. Our decision is final in all cases and no correspondence will be entered into. 30. What data are you going to collect? Once the App is activated, data will be collected to analyse your driving style. This includes the time, date, phone status (i.e. in use or being moved) and identity, network state, your location as defined by GPS co-ordinates, the battery state and accelerometer information.

How much memory/space will the App need? The size of the memory and space required in order to operate the AIG XLNTdriver App will vary depending on the phone that you have. When installed, the App will use approximately 12Mb of storage for Android and 21Mb of storage for IOS. There is also a requirement that you have sufficient storage space in order to save and transmit the journey data. You will also require temporary storage space for downloading and displaying journey and score data. This will vary depending on the type and amount of data required to show your data. 36. How much memory is required to save my driving data? A typical daily commute journey of one hour each way uses about the same amount of space as a digital photo (approximately 2.3Mb). In order to protect your data it is deleted from your mobile phone after transmission. 37. What if my phone doesn t have enough space to record my journeys? If your phone is low on space it will more than likely affect not just the AIG XLNTdriver App but how your phone works overall. We suggest that you consult with your phone manufacturer or network provider for details of how to clear down unused applications and/or move data to another device(s) in order to have more space available on your phone.
38. How often does the App send data? The App will send data throughout your journey. If it can t, then it will save it and send the journey data next time you connect to either a 3G/4G mobile network or via Wi-Fi. Network data costs will vary by network, but may be covered by many contracts. We are not responsible for any data charges that you may incur for using the AIG XLNTdriver App. Please consult your own network data provider for advice regarding any costs that may be incurred.
