Yes. A number of usage-based auto insurance companies are designed to reward safe, low-mileage, and low-risk drivers with lower premiums. These programs usually track things like mileage, braking, acceleration, time of day, and phone use while driving.
Some well-known options include:
- State Farm Drive Safe & Save – discounts based on driving habits and mileage.
- Progressive Snapshot – can lower rates for safe driving, though aggressive driving can increase premiums in some cases.
- Allstate Drivewise – rewards safe driving behavior and offers discounts.
- Nationwide SmartRide – focuses on safe habits and low mileage.
- Liberty Mutual RightTrack – uses driving data to adjust discounts.
- Root Insurance – heavily usage/behavior-based, though availability is limited and not everyone qualifies.
- Mile Auto – primarily mileage-based, suited to low-mileage drivers.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Some programs only offer discounts, while others can raise your rate if they detect risky driving.
- The biggest savings usually go to drivers with low mileage and consistently safe habits.
- Availability varies by state and driving profile.
If you want, I can also compare the best options for:
- low-mileage drivers,
- teens or young drivers, or
- people who want the least tracking/privacy concern.
