The rise of telematics-based car insurance policies is reshaping the industry, driven by customer demand for digital management, cost savings, and transparency. A recent GlobalData poll conducted on Verdict Media sites in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 found that 36.4% of respondents were convinced to adopt a telematics policy due to the ability to manage their policy online or through an app, closely followed by 36.2% who cited cheaper premiums as the primary motivator.
