ingenie car insurance focused on young drivers launches in Ontario

In the U.K. where ingenie has been available since 2011, the approach has reduced young drivers’ risk of accident during the first six-months of driving by 40%.

Young drivers insured by ingenie install a Smartbox in their car, which builds a picture of their driving style based on indicators such as speed, acceleration, braking and cornering. Customers receive feedback on their driving every 10 days through the ingenie app or online at ingenie.ca.
