What will happen if I unplug my Allstate Drivewise device?

I got Drivewise to lower my monthly car insurance premium. Sometimes I’m tempted to unplug the device when I’m driving poorly because I don’t want my rate to go up! What will happen if I unplug my Drivewise?

Nice job being proactive in reducing your insurance premium! Every time you disconnect your device, Allstate receives a timestamp. Nothing will happen if you unplug Drivewise a handful of times, but any more than that and Allstate may remove your safe-driving discount.

Tips and tricks for using Drivewise:

Drivewise tracks your speed, location, the time of day you drive, performance, braking, and more.

You can edit your trips or delete them altogether—no need to tamper with your device! This can be done in the app.

You will not be penalized for “bad driving” trips. Drivewise only rewards good behavior—it doesn’t punish bad.

You can cancel Drivewise anytime by calling Drivewise support at (877) 431-7670.

Keep up the safe driving!
