Telematics

Technology that tracks your driving behavior to potentially lower (or raise) your premium.

Telematics

Telematics programs use a phone app or in-vehicle device to monitor your driving — hard braking, hard acceleration, speed, time of day, and mileage.

Safe drivers typically earn discounts of 10–30%. A few carriers (notably Progressive Snapshot) can also raise rates for consistently risky driving.
