I am a writer with ValuePenguin (www.valuepenguin.com), a site that provides consumers with helpful articles and information on financial topics. I’m looking to interview auto insurance professionals, drivers, and other experts for the following article: USAGE-BASED AUTO INSURANCE: IS IT WORTH IT? This story will explore what to consider auto insurance wise before signing up for a pay as you go type policy involving a telematic device within your car that tracks your driving habits. Below is a list of questions I’m seeking answers to. I can either conduct a phone or email interview (with the latter, please email me back full-sentence written responses that I can use as quotes). My deadline is noon central time, Wednesday, April 29, 2015.
QUESTIONS:1. (This first question is only for drivers who are either considering a usage-based auto insurance plan or who have one in place): why should someone consider a usage-based insurance policy? Why are you considering it or why did you choose it? What would you recommend to others who are considering this type of insurance? What is your full name, and city/state location?2. (The rest of the questions are for insurance experts): Why should drivers consider a usage-based insurance plan? What are the benefits? How much money can they save in dollars or a percentage?3. What are the disadvantages, risks, or dangers? Is it possible that drivers could actually end up paying more? Please provide a detailed hypothetical scenario.4.
