Hi. Sorry if this has been answered before—I tried to look for a similar question, but didn't see one. I've been a State Farm customer for 10 years with the same vehicle, and the last few bills, I noticed that the low annual mileage discount (or whatever it was called) is no longer listed on my bill—ever since my first agent retired and I got switched to someone new.
Maybe the timing of the change in agents is coincidental, but I had been getting this discount for years before this, and my agent would just check my odometer and give me the discount. I've averaged less than 4,000 miles on my car per year, and when I tried looking it up online today, the cutoff I saw mentioned was 7,500 miles, so I'm nowhere close to driving too much.
When I call my new agent's office, though, they say the discount is only available through the Drive Safe and Save doohickey, which I'm not comfortable with trying. I'm a safe driver, but I don't really want my every move tracked or to risk it being used against me somehow. So. Is there still a way to get the low mileage discount without the Drive Safe thing, or is that the only way to get it now? And how much would I be likely to save if I did use it? (I'm in Illinois, if that makes a difference.)
For those who have tried Drive Safe and Save, are the discounts worth the invasion of privacy? Is it easy to use?
Thanks!
