State Farm Insurance question

[governmentmule]

I just bought another vehicle and they asked me if I would be interested in a Drive Safe Discount thing,that I attach to my car

supposedly it can save me anywhere from 5% to 50% on my bill,I asked if it could track me and they said no

supposedly it is free for the first year and then 7 bucks a month after that

they did say I could turn it off,for free if I didn't like it

I don't put a lot of mileage on a vehicle, I had my Truck for 15 years and put around 90k miles on it



I pay my bill semi annually,so any savings will take a while to see

I was wondering if anybody has tried it and is it worth it ?

Is that how you can make and agent appear out of thin air when you sing the jingle?

 

[governmentmule]

no they just appear,when they want money actually

 

[volinbham]

No F'n way would I agree to that. I enjoy driving too much.

 

[governmentmule]

does it save any money ? that is what I want to know


I actually don't like to drive anywhere any more volinbham

that is why the miles are so low from my truck

If you dont rack up miles then its worth a shot --- they just want to track people that claim they drive say 10k miles a year but actually drive 15k or more - then they jack up their rates

Ha, they definitely do that.

hmmm and then they want to charge me 7 bucks a month for it ? I'm sure i would forget about and then they will tag me for 42 bucks,before I noticed the charge

how do they determine which discount you get? 5% - 50% is a big gap

I was offered and didnt go for it - why should they know where I go and I am not paying a fee for them to monitor my whereabouts -- I would say dont waste the money (wasnt aware they were charging for it)

Not true.

Actually most of it is true except where you have 10K it's actually 7500.

First year is free with a 5% discount.

 

[GreveHaller]

First year is free with a 5% discount.

what qualifies for a 50% discount?

 

[salutethehill]

what qualifies for a 50% discount?

Whether you're hot or not. It's not as subjective as you think.

 

[volinbham]

does it check if you are speeding? I can see all sorts of ways they would conclude you aren't safe driving.
