Black Box University address

Typically as a student you are allowed to insure yourself at your parents address I think (assuming you return there for the holidays).

Hello,
I have had mixed reviews on this subject matter. However I have only just passed my driving test and looking to insure my car. It seems a lot cheaper to put down my parents address with a multi car policy with a black box. However I do live at uni for a few more months. Will the black box know if I am not always at my parents address? Because this will make a saving of over a £1000 or am I better off without the box?

I've never heard of this being the case - usually, the address you put down is the address where the vehicle will be kept the majority of the time overnight, for risk analysis. Assuming University lasts 9 months of the year, the address needs to be the University address.



You don't get to pick and choose, I'm afraid. Yes, the black box will pick up on your location, and your insurer will get a bit pissy over it if they spot it, especially if you need to claim whilst the car is parked at University.

I can't tell if s/he's just at Uni for 3 more months then s/he's done or whether it's just for summer break.

I am in my last year so will only be at uni for 3 more months then heading home.
