What is a car insurance monitoring app?

These days you have probably heard terms like "Right Track" or "Intellidrive" when signing up for or renewing your auto insurance. These are just 2 examples of car insurance monitoring apps. You may be thinking, why in the world would I download another app to my phone. However, these apps are very useful because they monitor your driving habits, and can save you money. It's pretty simple, just download the app to your mobile phone, and every time you drive, your habits are tracked. Did you speed, get on your phone to check a text message, slam on your breaks, or accelerate too fast? After every trip you can open your app and it will tell you how you did. And don't worry if you were not the one driving. The app will allow you to go in and mark yourself as a passenger. These programs are for a limited time and vary depending on carrier. Once your monitoring period is up, depending on how well you drove, you could earn a discount on your car insurance. Most companies will even offer you a discount just for having the app. Below is a link for Safeco's Right Track program and how it works!
