8. USAGE BASED INSURANCE (“UBI”) SCORE
An initial rating adjustment for participating in the AAADrive Program may be applied to your policy when we are notified of your willingness to enroll in the Program in accordance with the rules, rates, and telematics model on file with the state insurance department where your policy is issued. To maintain this potential rating adjustment, AAADrive Users must download, register, and begin sharing AAADrive driving data within 15 days of enrollment. Any active driver enrolled into AAADrive who is either initially opted in, actively sharing driving data, or has achieved the minimum driving data requirements for a UBI Score is considered a participant in the AAADrive Program. UBI Driver Household Participation percentage is determined by the number of drivers who are participating in AAADrive divided by the number of active drivers on the policy.
For your AAADrive driving data to be used to calculate a UBI Score, you must record at least 5 trips and 400 miles over the past 91 days. All drivers on a policy who have achieved the minimum UBI Score driving data requirements will have their UBI Scores averaged to determine a Household UBI Score that will be applied as a rating factor to the personal passenger automobiles listed on the policy. The AAADrive Household UBI Score along with the UBI Driver Household Participation percentage are used to determine a rating factor and will adjust policy premium in accordance with the rules, rates, and telematics model on file with the state insurance department where your policy is issued. This could result in an increase or decrease to your auto policy premium.
In addition to the AAADrive UBI Score that is generated after sufficient data collection, the AAADrive app will display a 14-day score that reflects Users recent driving behavior to show trends and inform a driver how to improve their driving habits. This two-week score is never used for calculation of your AAADrive UBI Score that is a part of rating.
Once a participant meets the driving data requirements and a UBI Score is generated, the UBI Score will be set for the duration of the policy, including future renewals. The UBI score assigned will be used for that driver, in the current and future policies that the same driver is active. The participant will be notified in the AAA Drive app that their participation is complete and that the participant is no longer required to record future trips. If a participant would like to generate a new UBI score, then the participant will need to re-enroll in the Program.
9. DEACTIVATING AAADRIVE
You may discontinue use of AAADrive at any time by signing out or uninstalling the AAADrive Software. This will prevent further information from being collected and submitted to us. If at any point you stop use of the AAADrive Software, your policy premium may be adjusted as a result of not meeting the AAADrive driving data requirements. If at the time you discontinue use of the AAADrive Software you already have a UBI Score, that UBI Score will continue to be applied to your current and future policies, including renewals, for rating purposes.
