Pay-As-You-Go Insurance Driver Spotlight: Helen Simons

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The truth is, Helen Simons of Chicago, IL, simply does not put that many miles on her car annually. With just a short commute to and from work, she found herself paying high rates for her auto insurance even though she did not use her car that often.

“In the next year, I will be working even closer to home and I am not planning on taking any long trips, so I will be driving even less. I need an insurance policy that reflects this lifestyle”

Simons checked out GMAC Insurance after receiving information about the Pay-As-You Go insurance Low-Mileage Discount program in the mail. When she received a quote that was much lower than her previous auto insurance company, she instantly made the switch.

“In the next year, I will be working even closer to home and I am not planning on taking any long trips, so I will be driving even less. I need an insurance policy that reflects this lifestyle,” said Simons.

Due to the fact that Simons had an active OnStar subscription, which includes OnStar’s Automatic Vehicle Diagnostics, she was a great candidate for the GMAC Insurance Low-Mileage Discount. The Low-Mileage Discount is the first Pay-As-You-Go insurance program of its kind that uses telematics technology from OnStar to allow customers who are driving less than 15,000 miles annually to benefit from a significant insurance discount. Drivers can save up to 54 percent on auto insurance premiums based on the number of miles driven.*

Customers who drive more than 15,000 miles annually are not penalized by GMAC Insurance’s Pay-As-You-Go insurance. In fact, all OnStar users still receive an insurance discount just for having an active OnStar subscription, even if they do not meet the requirements for the Low-Mileage Discount. Customers are able to enjoy the safety and security of OnStar, while knowing that their personal privacy is protected as well.

Now that Simons has switched to GMAC Insurance, the Low-Mileage Discount has proved to be beneficial. “I really appreciate something like the Low-Mileage Discount, because it is the best option for me to save money,” said Simons, who is now being rewarded for something that she was already doing—driving less.
