IntelliDrive®
IntelliDrive is a 90-day program that uses a smartphone app to monitor your driving performance. By enrolling, you could save on your car insurance policy’s first term. At renewal, safe driving habits can lead to savings of up to 20%1, while riskier driving habits may result in a higher premium.2
What's Measured:
Time of Day - When you drive can be as important as how you drive. Avoid driving really late at night to help improve your score.
Speed - High speeds mean less time to react to hazards around you.
Acceleration - Smooth acceleration is easier on your car and good for your score.
Braking - Avoid following too closely to better anticipate what other drivers are doing around you and avoid hard breaking.
Distraction3 – Avoid making handheld calls, texting, and any other physical interactions with your phone while driving.
