Terms and Conditions

CSAA Insurance Group, a AAA Insurer

These Usage Based Insurance Program Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) state the terms for receiving a discount if one is available under the Usage Based Insurance Program for a vehicle insured under your automobile insurance policy with the CSAA Insurance Group (“Policy”). The CSAA Insurance Group consists of CSAA Insurance Exchange; CSAA General Insurance Company; CSAA Fire & Casualty Insurance Company; CSAA Affinity Insurance Company, CSAA Mid-Atlantic Insurance Company and CSAA Mid-Atlantic Insurance Company of New Jersey (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”).  Our Usage Based Insurance Program may provide a discount, if available, on the premium owed for your Policy as detailed below. 

You must agree to these Terms and Conditions to obtain and/or maintain an available discount under the Company’s Usage Based Insurance Program.  We recommend that you print a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your records using your browser’s print function.

Usage Based Insurance Program Overview

Our Usage Based Insurance Program is a voluntary program that may offer one or two types of discounts to the premium for your Policy, if available. The first is a participation discount that is applied, if available (a) during the first term your Policy insuring your vehicle (“Vehicle”) is under our Usage Based Insurance Program and, in certain situations, when your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program is renewed for the first time as described below in this Usage Based Insurance Overview section, and (b) when you have subscribed to the SMARTtrek® Program (described below) and the SMARTtrek device is installed in your insured Vehicle and activated, as explained further below. The availability of the participation discount and, if available, individual savings may vary and are not guaranteed.  To find out about the availability of the participation discount for you, please contact us at 800-814-4684, Monday – Friday, 8 am to 10 pm, Eastern Time, or contact your insurance agent.  The second discount, if available, is a safe driving discount based on a vehicle safe driving score developed using “Driving Data” (defined below) for when, where and how the enrolled Vehicle was driven collected through the SMARTtrek device installed in your insured Vehicle.  

Both the participation discount and the safe driving discount are applied at the vehicle premium level – a vehicle-level discount that applies to a portion of the premium attributable to the Vehicle assigned to the SMARTtrek device depending upon the optional coverages included in your Policy. These discounts do not apply to all coverages on your Vehicle and, therefore, may not apply to your entire premium.  If you have multiple vehicles on your Policy, you may obtain a SMARTtrek subscription for some or all of them and the participation discount, if any, and, if applicable, the safe driving discount, would apply to each Vehicle that is enrolled in the SMARTtrek program. The safe driving discount is only available after you have received the participation discount, if available, under your Policy for your Vehicle.  Any participation discount applied during your initial policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program and your potential safe driving discount earned at renewal are separate discounts – they do not both apply to your Policy premium at the same time.

  • SMARTtrek is a program (“SMARTtrek Program”) offered by Company that involves a telematics device that you install in your Vehicle.  The telematics device will collect data about how, when and where the Vehicle is driven (“Driving Data”).  In connection with your subscription to the SMARTtrek Program, Company will provide certain services to you and collect Driving Data through the SMARTtrek device.  There is no monthly fee for your SMARTtrek subscription which is available to you until the sooner of (i) the end of the first term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program or any renewal term if we have specifically offered you the continuation of SMARTtrek for your renewal term under your Policy; or (ii) when we have notified you that the period of time to assess your eligibility for a safe driving discount has ended.  Once we have notified you that the period of time to assess your eligibility for safe driving discount has ended, or when your initial Policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program ends, we will ask you to return the Device.  If you do not plug-in the device within 30 days after the effective date of your Policy, or do not drive the Vehicle, we may ask you to return the device sooner.  Once the device is removed from the Vehicle no further Driving Data will be collected from the Vehicle.  Please see the SMARTtrek Program Subscription Terms and Conditions for further information, details and limitations relating to your SMARTtrek subscription.
  • If the Driving Data collected during the first term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program isn’t sufficient to develop a renewal offer with a safe driving discount applicable to your second policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program, your renewal offer may ask that you continue your SMARTtrek subscription (and the installation of the telematics device in your Vehicle for the collection of Driving Data) for all or a portion of the second term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program.  In such event, if you are otherwise eligible to receive the available participation discount, if any, then your participation discount would be offered to you for the renewal of your Policy for the second Policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program and there will be no monthly fee for your SMARTtrek subscription during this extended period for collecting Driving Data.  A renewal offer may condition the renewal and participation discount on your acknowledgement and agreement to an updated version of these Terms and Conditions.
  • These Terms and Conditions address only a pricing discount for your insurance, if any, and are in addition to the policy documents that otherwise govern your Policy with the Company. Your use of the SMARTtrek device and your SMARTtrek subscription services are governed by a separate subscription agreement with Company. Please refer to the SMARTtrek Program Subscription Terms and Conditions for matters pertaining to the SMARTtrek device and service.
 
Please address any issues with device installation, operation or return by calling us at 800-814-4684, Monday – Friday, between 8 am and 10 pm, Eastern Time.

 

Usage Based Insurance Program Requirements

The participation discount, if any, is applied immediately to the premium owed under your Policy at the time you initially have a Policy from the Company under the Usage Based Insurance Program and, in certain situations described above in the Usage Based Insurance Overview section, when your Policy is renewed for the first time under the Usage Based Insurance Program. 

The discount, if available, is conditioned on you: (1) subscribing to SMARTtrek by accepting Company’s SMARTtrek Program Subscription Terms and Conditions; (2) agreeing to these Terms and Conditions; and (3) complying with both the SMARTtrek Terms and Conditions and these Terms and Conditions.  If at any point during your participation in the Usage Based Insurance Program, if applicable) you do not meet the conditions and requirements described above in these Terms and Conditions, your participation discount may be removed, and you will owe us additional premium in the amount of the discount initially applied. If your participation discount is removed, you must terminate your SMARTtrek subscription, and return the device to Company or pay a non-return fee, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The following are requirements under these Terms and Conditions:

  1. Compatible Vehicles
    All compatible vehicles are eligible to receive the participation discount and later the safe driving discount, if such discounts are available. Most cars manufactured after 1996 are compatible.  However, there are some incompatible vehicles (for example, diesel and hybrid vehicles).
  2. Installation and Continuous Use.
    The telematics device provided by Company must be installed within thirty (30) days after the effective date of your Policy.  The Vehicle must be driven at least 120 miles to calibrate the device to begin collecting Driving Data and at least 120 miles each month during the initial term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program to collect Driving Data during a month.
  3. Continuous Use and Installation.
    During the initial term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program and, if applicable, the second term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program as described above in in the Usage Based Insurance Overview section, the device should be continuously plugged in to the Vehicle enrolled in the SMARTtrek Program, unless we permit the device to be transferred to a replacement vehicle as described below.  The device may be removed for a limited number of brief periods that are not intended to limit the data collected, for example, when your Vehicle is being serviced.  If the device is removed for any extended period(s) or is repeatedly removed and reinstalled, we may, at our discretion, remove your participation discount.  You may not move the device among multiple vehicles. The device will communicate whenever it is unplugged, plugged in, or plugged in to a different vehicle. Reporting capabilities may vary based on vehicle year, make and model and are subject to cellular network coverages.  The SMARTtrek device uses a certain amount of current from the Vehicle battery even when the Vehicle is not turned on. Please be attentive and check your battery for potential replacement if the battery in your Vehicle is old or weak
  4. Replacing Vehicles
    Your device must remain plugged in to the enrolled Vehicle during the first term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program.  If you wish to change vehicles or have other insurance questions, please call us at 800-814-4684, Monday – Friday, between 8 am and 10  pm, Eastern Time, or contact your insurance agent.  We may not be able to accommodate such requests.

Renewal

We will use the Driving Data that we receive for analytical purposes.  We will also use the Driving Data to underwrite and develop a renewal offer for your Policy, if a discount is available, and for other purposes described in our Usage Based Insurance Program Privacy Notice Supplement and our general customer Personal Information Privacy Notice.

  1. Safe Driving Discount
    Before the end of the initial term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program, the Company will present you with a renewal offer for your Policy in accordance with applicable law.  If you qualify, this renewal offer may feature a safe driving discount calculated using the actual driving behavior (Driving Data) associated with your Vehicle.  If the discounts available under the Usage Based Insurance Program change, the discount contained in your renewal offer after the second policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program may change.  If our safe driving discount product is not available at that time, we will provide you with a renewal offer that includes a different discount or no discount at all.  Once we have computed a safe driving discount for you, we may continue to apply that discount to your renewal offers for the Vehicle in the future.
    We may also need to re-evaluate your safe driving from time to time in order to continue to offer you safe driving discounts.  If we do not have the means to evaluate your safe driving at such times, we may require that you re-install a telematics device so that we can collect current driving data.  In order to receive the safe driving discount, the Company may condition the safe driving discount renewal offer on your acceptance of updated Terms and Conditions which may include, among other things, a requirement that you re-install a telematics device in the Vehicle to collect Driving Data to use to develop a discount for a subsequent renewal term. The updated Terms and Conditions will be provided to you as part of your renewal offer package. The Driving Data will be used as part of our overall pricing and available discounts for the Program.
    The Driving Data will be used to develop a safe driving discount, if available, for your insured Vehicle. We will not use Driving Data to increase your premium for the Vehicle or for individual non-renewal decisions. 
  2. Continuation of Participation Discount.
    If the Driving Data collected during the first term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program isn’t sufficient to develop a renewal offer with a safe driving discount applicable to your second policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program, and the participation discount was available to you, then your renewal offer may provide for the continuation of the participation discount for all or a portion of the second term of your Policy under the Usage Based Insurance Program in consideration for the continued collection of Driving Data during the second policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program.  In such event, (1) the renewal offer would be conditioned upon continuing the installation of the SMARTtrek device in the Vehicle, (2) the collection of Driving Data would continue during the second policy term under the Usage Based Insurance Program; and (3) there would be no monthly subscription fee for the SMARTtrek device during this extended period for collecting Driving Data.  The renewal offer may also condition the offer on your acknowledgement and agreement to an updated version of these Terms and Conditions. 
  3. Continuous Use and Installation.
    You may elect to renew your Policy without the discount offered to you under our Usage Based Insurance Program (the safe driving discount or, if applicable, the participation discount). In such event, your SMARTtrek subscription will be cancelled and you must return the telematics device to us as provided in the SMARTtrek Subscription Program Terms and Conditions. Please see the SMARTtrek Program Terms and Conditions for the fee charged if a device is not returned to them.                                                      
  4. Termination of SMARTtrek
    At the end of your initial policy term with SMARTtrek (or at the end of your first renewal term with SMARTtrek if your renewal offer involved the extension of the vehicle-level participation discount into the first policy renewal term), or sooner when we notify you that the period of time to assess your eligibility for a safe driving discount has ended, your SMARTtrek subscription will be cancelled and you must return the telematics device to us as provided under the SMARTtrek Program Subscription Terms and Conditions. Please see the SMARTtrek Program Subscription Terms and Conditions for the fee charged if a device is not returned by you.

 

Ending Participation in the Usage Based Insurance Program

You can cancel your participation in the Usage Based Insurance Program at any time by notifying the Company or your insurance agent. Your Policy information will be updated and your premium rate adjusted accordingly. If you cancel your participation in the Usage Based Insurance Program, you are not required to cancel your Policy but your SMARTtrek subscription will be cancelled and you must return the telematics device to us. A Vehicle that has been withdrawn may be permitted to re-enter our Usage Based Insurance Program.

Claims

We will not disclose or use the Driving Data collected via the SMARTtrek device to resolve any claims you or another driver of your Vehicle may make with us unless either (1) you (e.g., at least one of the insureds under the Policy or the Vehicle owner) have authorized us in writing to use the Driving Data or (2) the Driving Data must be disclosed to a third party as required by law or order of court.  For example, if a court orders the disclosure of the Driving Data in connection with a lawsuit involving an automobile accident, then we will be required to give the data to the third party.

We may need to provide the Driving Data to insurance regulators to support rate or other insurance related filings, or during the course of a market conduct exam. However, should we do so, individually identifiable information does not become part of any public record without the permission of a state agency, such as a Department of Insurance, or a court order.

Communications

We may periodically send you reminders and other information by email and/or phone while you are participating in the Usage Based Insurance Program.

Changes

We may change and modify these Terms and Conditions from time to time and at any time.  Modifications to these Terms and Conditions can be viewed by logging into your policy through MyPolicy.  Continued participation in the Usage Based Insurance Program will constitute your acceptance of any revisions to these Terms and Conditions.  Please check MyPolicy regularly. In addition, if required under applicable law, notice will be provided to you in advance of the effective date for the change(s) in accordance with applicable law.

Other Drivers

By acknowledging these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will inform anyone you permit to drive the Vehicle about the proper use of the installed SMARTtrek device and that the Company and/or other third parties will have access to their driving behavior data/Driving Data.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. COMPANY AND, EACH PROGRAM PARTNER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES.  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

LIMITATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY:

You understand, acknowledge and accept the following inherent technical limitations relating to the use of the Services:

(a) Wireless Network Coverage and Service. Complete coverage at all times is improbable. The existence of adverse conditions, such as short-term unpredictable meteorological effects and sky wave interference from distant stations, can interrupt data transmissions on which the Services rely at times. Certain circumstances such as weather, tunnels, underground structures, terrain, high-rise buildings, enclosed or underground parking or driving areas, faulty installation, motor ignition and other electrical noises and radio signals from external sources may also interfere with data transmissions and affect the Services. Company, its Program Partners or their respective service providers utilize wireless networks with broad coverage areas to access Your Device(s), but there are still areas within these coverage areas where wireless service is unavailable. Also, from time to time, poor coverage areas occur even in fully developed areas, thereby limiting system performance. Other wireless network environmental issues may affect the communications link between the Devices and Company’s Program Partners and/or Company.

(b) Global Positioning System.  Each Device relies on the GPS System to obtain vehicle location information used in providing the Services.  To obtain and use GPS location information, the GPS antenna in a Device must have a direct line of sight to the satellites. If this data path is impaired (e.g. underground parking lots or the shadow of tall buildings), it can affect the ability of a Device to recognize and record an accurate location which is needed for many of the Services.

(c) Tampering with a Device. If a Device is tampered with, disconnected or completely removed, the Device will not work to collect and transmit data.  Those Services which depend on current transmission of Data by a Device (such as current vehicle location) will be unavailable, and historical information made available through the Services will become inaccurate and/or incomplete. Company reserves the right to charge You a $100 Device replacement fee if a Device is tampered with, becomes inoperable for any reason and needs to be replaced, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(d) Security. The Devices and Services have many complex elements and are not guaranteed against eavesdroppers, hackers, denial of service attacks, viruses or interceptors.
