I was wanting to get input/opinions on driving monitoring methods that insurance companies offer for their clients to receive discounts. I listed a couple programs below, and briefly some aspects of each. I would like your thoughts on :
Do you use any of these programs? Why or why not?
How they work for you?
Do you think they are well set up?
Do you save money?
Anything else you might want to add.
Thanks!!!
ALLSTATE DRIVEWISE
Drivewise tracks your driving habits via a mobile app or a small device installed in your car and then sends the data to Allstate.
The drivewise device is plugged into the vehicle's onboard diagnostic port (OBD2 port), and monitors many aspects of your driving habits: "We'll reward you just for getting started and then keep rewarding you every six months for safe speeds, safe stops, safe driving hours and low mileage."
STATE FARM DRIVESAFE
Here’s how it works
The Drive Safe & Save app2 connects with the Bluetooth beacon we’ll send you after enrollment. The beacon, which is mounted in your car collects driving data and sends it to State Farm for evaluation. Keep your Bluetooth and location services activated on your smartphone to automatically record trips. What type of driving feedback do you get?
Quick acceleration
Hard braking
Fast cornering
Speeding
Distracted driving
