Jessica Chen- Do you consider your car insurance is extremely high? Progressive Car Insurance is offering their customers a chance to lower it, but they have look into your privacy.
The program is called the Snapshot. Progressive sends a free device to their customers to plug into their car’s on-board diagnostic port (ORB). It records and sends data of how, how much and when you drive. After 30 days, customers find out if they are qualified for a discount based on their driving skill, which could be up to 30%. Customers need to give 6 months of driving data.
Locals have mixed reviews on the program. “I always think that nobody else knows my driving habit other than me and friends,” said Reno resident, Kive Demvy. “But if it’s saving me money in the long run, it’s totally fine.”
