How does Ökuvísir work?
Ökuvísir is an app that includes mandatory vehicle insurance and windshield insurance, you can also add comprehensive (kasko) insurance.
If you want to know how Ökuvísir works, the best way is to try the app. You can purchase Ökuvísir directly in the app or try it for 14 days with no commitment.
If you decide to purchase Ökuvísir, you will need to pair a small device (a tag) with the app. The tag measures your driving behavior and gives you a score based on speed, acceleration, cornering speed, braking, and phone use while driving. The tag also ensures that the Ökuvísir app only records trips when it is connected to the tag. This means trips are not logged under your name when you're traveling in another car—only the car with the tag.
When you purchase Ökuvísir, the tag is sent to your home within a few days. Instructions on how to connect the tag to the app are included in the box, and the app also guides you step by step. The tag is attached to the car's windshield, behind the rearview mirror.
To pair the tag with the Ökuvísir app:
- Have your phone and tag in front of you.
- Click on "Profile" in the Ökuvísir app and select "Pair the tag".
- Choose the car - If you have iPhone you need to restart the app after the car has been chosen and make the same first steps again.
- Click on the button on the tag. You only need to click the button one time.
- Click on "Start to pair" in the app.
- If the light blinks the pairing has been successful. If the light does not blink the pairing has not been successful and you need to try again.
- The tag must be securely fastened to a solid part of the car frame inside of the driver compartment. We recommend affixing the tag to the windshield. You can see the instruction in the app when you pair the tag to the app.
