I’ve tried the “plug-in tracker” route and honestly, it felt like I was inviting a nosy neighbor into my glovebox. The discount barely covered a tank of gas. I’d rather just estimate my miles and skip the hassle.
I totally get what you mean about the tracker feeling invasive. I looked into those too, thinking it’d be an easy way to save, but once I read the fine print and saw how little the discount was, it just didn’t seem worth it. Plus, I’m not wild about my driving habits being analyzed 24/7. Estimating miles seems so much simpler, even if it’s not perfect. It’s weird how insurance companies make you jump through hoops for such a tiny reward.
“I’m not wild about my driving habits being analyzed 24/7.”
Same here. I tried one of those trackers for a month and it felt like having a backseat driver who tattles. Didn’t help that my “hard brakes” (aka avoiding squirrels) got flagged every time. The discount was barely enough to cover a coffee, so I ditched it. Estimating miles isn’t perfect, but at least it doesn’t judge me for late-night pizza runs.
