MAPFRE Introduces Telematics Program to Improve Driver Safety

As part of its ongoing commitment to improve driver safety, American Commerce Insurance Company, part of the MAPFRE Insurance Group, announced its DriveAdvisor Program, which provides a discount on personal auto premiums for its customers who use telematics technology to monitor their driving behavior.

The discount is available to eligible customers who participate in the program by installing a telematics device in their car.

The DriveAdvisor device stores and transmits data on how a vehicle is operated, including such information as acceleration, braking, vehicle speed and number of miles driven. Customers using the device receive confidential feedback online about their driving behavior. A personalized report shows drivers their performance and progress over time and offers ways to improve safe driving.

“MAPFRE Insurance is pleased to offer telematics technology to our customers,” said Jaime Tamayo, President and CEO of MAPFRE Insurance. “Our goal is to improve driver behavior and roadway safety by providing our customers with meaningful driving performance feedback through the DriveAdvisor Program.”

Participation in the program is voluntary and customers may opt-out at any time. It is available at this time to Rhode Island drivers only. Customers interested in obtaining more information about the telematics program should contact their local independent agent.
