Mileage tracking apps can be hit or miss, honestly. I've seen plenty of clients try them out—some swear by them, others have the exact same gripe as you:
"The app drained my phone battery like crazy, and half the time it didn't even log my trips correctly."
If you're worried about distractions or battery drain, you might wanna look into insurance providers that offer plug-in devices instead. They go right into your car's diagnostic port—no phone needed and usually way more reliable. Just a thought if you're still on the fence...
Are those plug-in things really that much better? I've heard they can mess with your car's electronics sometimes... anyone here actually used one long-term without issues? I'm curious but kinda skeptical tbh.
I've handled a few claims involving those plug-in devices, and honestly, issues are pretty rare. But yeah, I've seen one or two weird cases where electronics got glitchy... I'd say they're mostly safe, just don't expect miracles on your premiums.
Had one of those plug-ins for a bit. Didn't fry anything, but my dash lights acted possessed once or twice... They're okay, just wouldn't trust 'em blindly. Better safe than glitchy, ya know?
Yeah, had one of those plug-ins too for the insurance discount. Didn't mess up my dash, but it drained my battery overnight once—fun morning that was... They're handy for saving a few bucks, but I wouldn't leave 'em plugged in 24/7.
