Paperless Documents

Nationwide has a unique discount that saves customers money and saves the company (and the planet) paper. Going paperless simply means sending all the bills, or documents you’d otherwise receive in the mail over to e-mail. It’s an easy way to save paper and keep better track of your important insurance documents. Read more about the Paperless Documents discount.

Snapshot with Progressive

Snapshot is a small device that plugs into your car’s ODB-II port. It turns on every time you turn on the engine in your car. Once Snapshot installs, it records your driving habits whenever you’re behind the wheel. It then uses what it learns from your driving to determine if you should be paying less for car insurance. Snapshot is a great way for people to save money. All you have to do is drive smart.
