We will send you an alert if we notice the device is not connected. Your policy could be cancelled if the device is not plugged back in.

Or you can contact us via email: lowmiler@morethan.com
Please note: there is always a risk in sending personal information via email.
Yes, you can drive your car as soon as your policy has started.
However, it’s important you fit the LOW MILER device to your car as soon as you receive it in the post, or by the day your cover starts.
Don’t worry if you plug it in early, we won’t start to count your miles until your policy has started so you can fit the device straight away.
Your policy will be cancelled if the device is not fitted within 7 days of your cover starting.
If you were to have an accident when the device was not fitted then there is an additional excess of £500 which would apply along with any other compulsory and voluntary excess on your policy.
We will waive the additional excess if you have an accident before you receive your smart device. If an accident occurs after you receive the device, but it was not installed, then the additional excess will apply.
If you are cancelling your policy before the start date or within the cooling off period (for example, the first 14 days) of your policy starting then you can return the LOW MILER device back to us and we will refund you the cost of the device. It is however not compulsory.
You will receive an email from us with instructions on how to send the device back to us and how long your refund will take.
Please note we are unable to refund a returned device if you cancel after the first 14 days of your policy starting or if you lapse your policy renewal.
The LOW MILER device will track the miles you have driven and estimate how many miles you are likely to drive in your policy year.
Don't worry if you run out of miles, you can top up at any time and for your flexibility we offer mileage in 250 mile increments.
There is a £25 administration fee to add on to the cost of your miles each time you top up your policy regardless of how many miles you buy.
So please bear this in mind as buying the top up miles you need in one go could save you money in the long run.
However, remember to estimate your miles as accurately as you can from the start as topping up can be a more expensive option.
We hope we don't have to cancel your policy but you should be aware that there are a number of reasons why this could happen. They include, but are not limited to:
- Failure to fit the LOW MILER device to your car within 7 days of your cover starting.
- Unplugging your LOW MILER device and not plugging it back in.
- Exceeding your mileage allowance (remember you can top up at any time).
- Not parking at your declared overnight location postcode for the majority of the time.

Depending on your situation and what you need from your insurance, there may be ways we can help you manage your payments to make sure you don’t end up uninsured.
It’s important that you consider your options very carefully. For example, you may be able to reduce your level of cover.
This means your policy won’t provide the same level of cover as before, but your premiums may be more affordable on an ongoing basis. Our customers tend to consider this option when their circumstances make them unsure of their future financial situation. It also depends on what your cover needs are.
To talk to us about the options that might be available to you please call us on 0345 078 7549. For our opening hours please visit our contact us page. Please don’t cancel your payments without speaking to us first as we may be able to help.
