Parents
As a parent you want your children to have their freedom, but you also understand the dangers they face as young new drivers or young first time drivers.
Because of these risks, car insurance premiums can be so expensive that you can't afford for them to drive.
i-kube is specifically designed to help reduce the dangers and also cut down on the cost of young driver car insurance.
This is how it works:
- i-kube can discount car insurance rates by up to 40%.
- In exchange, all i-kube ask is that the insured car is 'put to bed' between the hours of 11pm and 5am. This is the time when young drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in an accident.
- If the insured car is driven during these hours (known as red hours) then a charge of £45 is made for each night.
- Cover is always fully comprehensive, even if the insured car is driven during the red hours.
So, not only can i-kube save you money it can also give you peace of mind. Plus, in most cases you can be added to your child’s policy at no extra charge.

Here are some statistics:
According to the Department of Transport’s latest statistics:
- Young drivers aged 17-25 represent the largest proportion of the above statistics. Of all deaths recorded as a result of a road traffic accident between 1999 and 2008, 26.29% were aged 17 to 25 years old. That’s a sobering 1 in 4.
- Of the fatal accidents which involved 17 to 25 year olds, 38.88% happened between 11pm and 5am. That equates to more than 1 in 3 accidents!
- Between 00:01 and 01:00 is statistically the most dangerous hour to be driving your vehicle as a new young driver. 8.7% of all fatalities which involved 17 to 25 year olds happened in this hour.
- Males are three times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident than females. This could suggest that males have greater exposure due to mileage covered but other research shows that, even per mile travelled; males are twice as likely to be involved in crashes as females.
