Drive Safe & Save is a mobile application that helps State Farm customers save money on their auto insurance by monitoring their driving habits. This app is being integrated into the State Farm app, making it easier for customers to access and use. The transition is being done gradually, with customers being notified via email when it is time to make the switch. Customers who are already using the Drive Safe & Save app will not lose any of their information during the transition.
By signing up for Drive Safe & Save and completing the setup steps, customers can receive a 10% discount on their auto insurance. After the initial participation period, the app will continue to monitor driving habits and determine potential savings of up to 30%. The app automatically records trips and provides feedback on driving habits, highlighting areas for improvement such as acceleration, braking, cornering, phone distraction, and speed.
Customers can check the app regularly to view their safety scores, savings per enrolled vehicle, recent trips with driving events, trip routes from the last 30 days, recorded trips from the last 14 days, and safe driving tips. The app also allows for easy login with various methods, such as user ID and password, biometrics, or driver's license. Customers can also learn about driving behaviors and events through the app and adjust their driver status for trips when they were not the driver or their phone was used by a passenger.
State Farm prioritizes customer privacy and will not sell their information. The data collected through the app is used to help customers improve their driving habits and may also be used to calculate their discount. However, the discount may vary by state and may not be available in certain states. After enrolling, customers will receive a beacon to place in their vehicle, which works with the app to accurately record trips.
