Any Allstate customers using "Drive Wise" ?

I installed it in 2 pickup trucks. After 60 days my driving grade on both is A- ... One truck shows a projected 15% savings and the other a 17% savings.

All my grades are A's except the time of day driving B

I'd not heard of that. I guess as long as you keep an unregistered honky-tonk runner, you should be fine.

After carrying Allstate insurance for 40 years, they came out, took pictures of my house and told me that if I didn't trim my trees and put on a new roof, they were going to cancel my insurance. I put on a new roof, trimmed my trees and cancelled my insurance myself...went to a private agency and saved a bundle on both my house and cars.

Allstate did that to a woman my wife works with... I went with an Independent agent yrs ago... Instead of me calling around every few yrs checking rates, he does it for me

I believe progressive insurance has the same thing... They call it snap shot

And that has nothing to do with drivewise ...

Allstate did not do that to a woman your wife works with ... you gotta request it.

I think kenmac was referring to the way Allstate treated one of its homeowner's policyholders.

We put Progressive's version in our car. They call it "snapshot". We got it in early November. After 3 weeks it projected we'd get a 15% discount. Then came the snow... Any time the wheels spun, it registered unnecessary acceleration. Any time they locked up it thinks you're braking too hard.

I've been driving in snow my whole life (since I was 16 anyway), and I know how to do it. Sometimes you have to spin the tires a little when you're trying to get up the hill. Obviously not spinning is better, but you have to find that edge of where you lose traction but are still putting power down. Same with braking, when you get in the car for the first time on new road conditions, you gotta find out how slick they are. Hitting the brakes is how you do that. Anyway, the device didn't take any of that into account and we didn't get any discount. If we could get the device in mid-April and keep it for 6 months, maybe we could make it work. I suggested they reactivate our device and we could try again. They said we had to send it in and get a new one, so I said forget about it.

I was stopped at an intersection when someone rear ended me and caused a 4 car accident. The person who caused it was with Allstate. Allstate tried to pay only for the damage to the rear of my truck even though the truck was totaled. In the end, they paid for the whole truck but that company was made up of nothing but assholes. I would never, ever, ever, ever be a customer of Allstate. Without a doubt I know they would screw you the first time you have a claim.

As for the drive wise....total invasion of privacy. They may claim it only monitors driving habits but I would wager big money it also has a GPS and tracks everywhere you go. No thanks.

Maybe she requested they come out, look at her trees and threaten cancellation if she didn't trim them. :laughing:

I am now using RightTrack by Liberty Mutual for 2 months, 24 days to go. Interesting read out on-line, shows a lot of rapid starts and sudden deceleration. Shows 11% discount.
