Are there any usage-based auto insurance providers that focus on safe drivers and lower premiums?

Yes. If you’re a safe driver and don’t drive much, usage-based auto insurance (UBI) can sometimes lower your premium by pricing based on driving behavior and/or mileage instead of just broad risk factors.

Common types of usage-based programs

• Mileage-based / pay-per-mile: Best if you drive less than average.
• Telematics / driving-behavior-based: Uses an app or device to monitor things like:
  • hard braking
  • rapid acceleration
  • speeding
  • time of day
  • phone distraction
  • total mileage

Providers that often offer these programs

Availability varies by state, but well-known insurers with UBI/safe-driver programs include:

• Progressive — Snapshot
• State Farm — Drive Safe & Save
• Allstate — Drivewise
• Nationwide — SmartRide / SmartMiles
• Liberty Mutual — RightTrack
• Travelers — IntelliDrive
• Farmers — Signal
• Metromile/Lemonade — pay-per-mile options in some markets

Who benefits most?

These programs can be especially good for:

• low-mileage drivers
• drivers with clean records
• people who avoid late-night driving
• those with smooth acceleration/braking habits

Things to watch out for

• Some programs start with a discount estimate, but your driving data can also affect renewal pricing.
• Not every program guarantees savings.
• Privacy and data-sharing policies differ by insurer.
