Monday evening I signed up for Allstate auto insurance and Drive Wise. When I got home today (Friday) my Drive Wise unit was waiting for me. It arrived neatly packaged and with simple instructions.
I created my drive Wise account and took a closer look at the user agreement. The device must be installed for at least 45 days. It can be removed without penalty for service appointment.
I plan to install tomorrow morning and begin reporting on my experiences.
My new auto insurance policy with Allstate begins March 6, 2012. As part of a premium cost-saving scheme, I agreed to install Drive Wise, Allstate's proprietary telematic device that monitors my speed, distance traveled, hard braking and sudden acceleration all in an effort to reward "safe" driving with up to a 30% reduction in premium. These devices are a fairly new phenomenon and I am going to report on my experience using the device.
