Confused.com MotorMate

The new Confused.com MotorMate app mirrors in-car telematics or black box insurance technology and shows people how good a driver they actually are whilst earning rewards.

The free Confused.com MotorMate app allows drivers who are interested in telematics or black box insurance to try before they buy.

Confused.com MotorMate monitors and scores a driver based on the following criteria:

- Number of journeys made
- Distances travelled
- Types of roads used
- Speed
- Time of travel
- Levels of acceleration and braking

All individual driving trips made using the app are scored out of 5 stars based on the user's anticipation of the road, braking, acceleration, and driving at a sensible speed.

After the user has driven 250 miles in total (this doesn't have to be during one journey - it can be a multiple of journeys) an overall 'Confused.com MotorMark' out of 100 is given - 100 being an expert driver and 20 being a driver who really needs improvement!

Being a safe driver is reward in itself but we can all improve and the Confused.com MotorMate app allows users to do just that by monitoring their own driving scores and trying to improve on them while picking up rewards.

By downloading and using the app for a certain number of miles, users will be rewarded with the following:

- Drive 20 miles: Users will receive a complimentary in-car cradle and charger for their mobile phone.
- Drive 250 miles: Users will receive £25 cashback.
- If users of the app buy any motor insurance policy through Confused.com they will receive a further £25 cashback.
