GoSkippy Connect
GoSkippy Connect is our smart telematics insurance, designed to make driving both safer and more rewarding. We use a small device called a wedge, which sticks to your windscreen and syncs to our mobile app, to monitor your driving.
Safer driving can lower your premium at renewal, while the GoSkippy Connect app provides helpful driving insights to improve your habits behind the wheel.

What does GoSkippy Connect Monitor?
GoSkippy Connect monitors and rates your driving out of 100 based on the following:
Don’t accelerate too quickly. Instead, go slow before gradually building up speed to show you’re in full control of your car.
We’ll look at how harshly you brake, so be careful to brake smoothly and in plenty of time.
Taking corners too fast or sharply will lower your score. Try to slow down and steer smoothly through bends to maintain control and safety.
The device will measure the speed you’re driving. So, keep an eye on how fast you drive and stay within the speed limit.
Using your phone while driving is dangerous, against the law, and will impact your score. If you use it for directions, put it up in a cradle on your dashboard and set up your route before you set off. If a passenger uses your phone then this may impact your score.
How does GoSkippy Connect Work?
Getting started is quick and straightforward. Throughout your policy, we collect driving data from your device to build a driving score. This score could help safer drivers unlock savings at renewal.
Download the App
You’ll receive an email where you will be prompted to download and activate the GoSkippy Connect App.
Install Wedge Device
No wiring needed, you’ll receive a small wedge device that sticks to your windscreen and syncs to our app. You can watch our handy Install & Connect Video here.
Your Driving Score
Your driving will be monitored, and you can access your driving score at any time via our app.
Helpful Feedback
Access regular feedback and insights in the app to boost your score and help you drive safer.
You must ensure that your phone is in your vehicle when you drive, with Bluetooth and location services active. This allows the app to automatically capture your trips and build your driving score. If your driving score is low, your policy could be cancelled.
Your score also considers how often and when you drive, so if you frequently take 7+ trips a day or often drive late at night, this policy may not be right for you.

Frequently asked questions
The GoSkippy Connect App is designed to only use a small amount of your phone’s battery whilst a trip is recording, but we do recommend having at least 20% battery charge for an accurate recording to take place.
However, for long trips of 3+ hours where GPS checks will impact your battery life more, it may be necessary to charge your phone.
1. Check that the required permissions are all enabled:
– Location Services (Precise)
– Motion and Fitness (Apple) / Activity Recognition (Android)
– Bluetooth
– Push Notifications (we won’t send you any marketing messages)
If one of them is disabled, resolve it by clicking on the red banner displayed at the top of your app’s dashboard.
2. If you are just missing the odd trip and all other trips seem to be reflected in the ‘trip’ section of the GoSkippy Connect App, there is no need to do anything as we do expect to see around 95% of your driven trips.
To download the GoSkippy Connect App, refer to the communications we sent when you bought your policy, or click the relevant app store link below (provide links). Once the GoSkippy Connect App is downloaded, open it up to proceed with the GoSkippy Connect App activation.
