Sign up freeTiffany Neel, whose American Family Insurance agency opened in McPherson in April, discussed renters coverage and usage-based auto insurance programs at a Chamber Connections event, according to an Oct. 15 McPherson Chamber of Commerce post. Chamber Connections are generally held Thursdays.
Neel said renters, including older adults and college students, may underestimate the cost of replacing their belongings, according to the Chamber post.
The Chamber post said Neel described a 10% enrollment discount for DriveMyWay. American Family's current DriveMyWay page advertises a 15% introductory discount and says most participating customers later receive personalized savings of 10% to 35%, though unsafe driving may increase rates.
American Family's MilesMyWay FAQ lists Kansas among the states where the program is available. MilesMyWay is designed for drivers averaging no more than 20 miles a day, or about 8,000 miles a year. The company advertises savings of up to 25%, applied to specified coverages on the enrolled vehicle rather than the customer's total premium; driving more than the mileage threshold may increase the rate.
American Family says DriveMyWay availability and eligibility vary by state, vehicle, policy form and underwriting company, but its public pages do not identify eligible states.
