In exchange for this information, many insurance carriers offer rate discounts based on your good driving habits. Concklin Insurance partners with several carriers who offer a wide variety of benefits for installing and using vehicle telematics.
How do Vehicle Telematics benefit you?
The most obvious benefit to customers using vehicle telematics is discounted insurance rates. Insurance carriers see a reduced financial risk when their customers drive safely. With vehicle telematics, carriers receive objective data regarding customer driving habits and are able to pass some of the savings back to customers.
Another benefit of vehicle telematics is the objective feedback drivers receive regarding their driving. Having your driving monitored can impact choices made on the road, which can result in few risks taken on the roads and fewer accidents.
For parents, vehicle telematics are a great way for you to coach younger drivers to develop safe driving habits, and in some cases, these devices can provide feedback that can increase your fuel economy.
Are vehicle telematics mandatory?
Many drivers question whether they should install vehicle telematics apps on their mobile phone, which is an increasingly popular way insurance carriers to institute these programs. At this point, while not mandatory, vehicle telematics are helping consumers save money on their insurance through the variety of discounts being offered.
