If you are a low-mileage driver, you can save money on your auto insurance policy with IntelliDrive. Once you sign up, you receive a small device that you plug in under your car’s dashboard. For about 60 to 90 days, you drive with the IntelliDrive device, and then return it to Travelers. From there, the company assesses your mileage discounts and gives you any rewards you are eligible for receiving.
Owning a hybrid or electric car helps save energy and help the environment. If you drive one of these vehicles, you can save up to 10 percent on your auto insurance with Travelers. It’s how the company rewards customers who decide to have a positive impact on the environment by owning one.
