Insurance Company Tracks For Lower Rates
There is a national insurance company that is offering a device (not a GPS Device) that is designed to track the driving habits of a customer and offer lower insurance rates by as much as 30 percent.
We are not allowed to reveal the name of this company, but the name is recognizable. The bottom line is that this shows the lengths that insurance companies will go to in their efforts to lower their risk of insuring drivers and vehicles.
Real GPS Tracking is Better
The problem with this device and the system that the insurance company is offering is that it fails to help protect them from one of the biggest risks in the industry – a stolen vehicle. Furthermore, they make it a priority to let those who are considering signing up for the program that their device is not a GPS Tracking unit and that it will not track the places that the drivers will go.
This device is only helpful to the insurance company in that it allows them to make sure that their drivers do not participate in risky driving activities.
Real GPS Tracking devices allow owners to not only monitor driving activities, but follow the location and destination of a vehicle in near-real time on a PC. These units provide the best benefits for their users and most insurance companies will provide a break on insurance rates when these are installed.
So, why would an insurance company offer a device that is limited in capability and purpose? The answer lies in that they are probably less expensive and they are afraid that most of their customers shy away from the GPS Tracking devices that can pin point the location of their vehicles. Will it save the company money in the long run? Probably, but it will do so in an incomprehensible way.
GPS Tracking Makes Inroads
More concerned organizations and citizens are realizing the value of GPS Tracking and how it can benefit them. From individuals who want to protect their investments in vehicles to businesses and governments that wish to monitor the usage of their expensive assets, GPS is the answer now more than ever.
