Allstate offers an app to monitor your actual driving statistics like speed, braking habits, milage, location etc and they will essentially prorate your plan based on usage. If you are under the bell curve that sets their pricing, they’ll pay you in exchange for your data. Idk what other institutions offer this, but I assume major carriers are most likely.
I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
A couple of other carriers here in the US do this too, and at least one (I forget which) has started offering to prorate premiums specifically based on actual mileage on top of the driving habits stuff they were already doing.
The downside of course is that you need either a car that supports talking directly to the app, or additional hardware (in the form of a BLE-enabled ODB-II data logger).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
