HughesDrive - Telematics-based Car Insurance
Young drivers often struggle to find affordable car insurance and so Hughes Insurance has introduced HughesDrive, a Telematics-based car insurance product to help young drivers across Northern Ireland.
HughesDrive uses Telematics technology to monitor how you drive, and reward you for positive driving scores. When you purchase a HughesDrive Telematics-based policy you’ll benefit from a reduced car insurance premium, making it easier for you to get on the road. Even better—you can earn treats every week!
It’s easy to get started. When you purchase your HughesDrive policy, simply download the HughesDrive App for free, and connect the App to your car via Bluetooth. Don’t have Bluetooth in your car? No problem – you can order a Beacon via the HughesDrive App and it will provide a signal for the app to connect to.
You’ll receive a weekly score for your driving behaviour. The scoring takes into account metrics such as speed, braking, acceleration, cornering, and usage. Every time you achieve a “Green” weekly driving score you will be eligible for a treat.
Key Features
A HughesDrive comprehensive car insurance policy is packed with benefits:
Earn Weekly Treats
Check your weekly driving score every Monday and if you’re in the Green you’ll be able to download a voucher! Depending on the voucher on offer that week, you could for example treat yourself to a coffee at Costa or use it as a little gift from us towards your concert tickets from Ticketmaster or online shopping with Amazon.
UK & Ireland breakdown assistance*
Don’t be left stranded! Our UK & Ireland breakdown assistance means that you won’t be left alone by the side of the road.
Puncture Assistance*
Let down by a puncture?If you suffer a puncture whilst driving, the tyre will be changed provided you have a suitable replacement, alternatively assistance will be provided in using the tyre inflation system provided by the car manufacturer and if that’s not possible your car will be towed to the nearest competent repairer, recovery yard or to your home, whichever is closer.
New Car Replacement*
Should the worst happen to your new car in its first year, the policy includes a new car replacement benefit.
Personal Belongings Cover*
It’s disheartening to realise that someone has broken into your car and stolen your things. We’re on your side. We can cover up to £200 or £250 (depending on insurer) of the value if you are on a comprehensive policy.
*As with all insurance policies, terms, limits and exclusions apply.
Treats are subject to change as detailed within the App.

An excess is the amount of money you pay towards a claim under your policy. The two main types of excess are:
Compulsory excess – this must be paid and relates to claims for accidental or malicious damage, accidental damage, vandalism, fire and theft.
Voluntary excess – this is paid on top of a compulsory excess. You can select a voluntary excess when setting up your policy, which may help to reduce the premium.
Our Help Centre contains lots of useful and practical support when it comes to car insurance - including what to do in the event of an accident or a breakdown.
