I figure they know every move I make anyway, I might as well get a discount for the privilege. So I get 3% off my premium just because I signed up for the program. And if my driving habits are "clean" I get up to another 7% discount.

That's on top of all the discounts we get now. We're paying around $1400 per -year- for two vehicles, combined, and another $200 (give or take a few bucks) for the two golf carts.
I saved more than 50 percent by switching to State Farm, after Allstate raised my premium by 32 percent.
