American Family Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. MilesMyWay Terms & Conditions
Welcome to MilesMyWay, a mileage-based auto insurance program (“Program”) designed and administered by American Family Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. (“American Family”). This document contains important information about your rights, benefits, costs and limitations under the Program. You should read it carefully before deciding to participate because your participation in the Program means that you accept the Terms & Conditions. We may modify the Terms & Conditions at any time at our discretion and your continued participation in the Program means that you accept those changes. You can always view the most current version of the Terms & Conditions document by logging into the MilesMyWay smartphone application.
Program Overview
The Program is administered by a company ("Vendor") on behalf of American Family. Your participation in the Program allows you to earn savings on the premium paid for your auto insurance policy based on the mileage driven in your enrolled vehicle(s). Your mileage is monitored through a downloadable smartphone application (“App”) and a telematics sensor (“Sensor”) that is affixed to each enrolled vehicle. The person who owns the policy (“Policyholder”) has the opportunity to earn savings by participating in the Program.*
Once you have downloaded the App and affixed a Sensor to each enrolled vehicle, collected. The sensor will capture data even when your phone is not in the vehicle. That data, along with data captured by your phone, will be transmitted to the Vendor by your phone the next time you have it in the car. This data is securely stored within the Vendor’s systems and securely transferred to American Family. You will be able to access your driving information through the App.
The App uses your smartphone data plan to upload information to the Vendor's data storage system. The amount of data used by the App will fluctuate based on how often and how far your car is driven. It is your responsibility to maintain a data plan sufficient to allow for this usage and American Family is not responsible for any data charges (including overage charges) associated with use of the App.
Eligibility & Program Requirements
The following are necessary to participate in the Program:
- You must be an operator on an auto insurance policy issued or bound by American Family or one of its participating subsidiaries (“Policy”). By enrolling in the Program, you attest that you are an operator under the Policy.**
- All vehicles enrolled in the Program must carry Bodily Injury and Property Damage (BI/PD) coverage.**
- You must download the App to your smartphone and begin using it within 28 days of enrollment or your participation in the Program may be terminated.
- You must install a Sensor in every vehicle enrolled in the Program within 28 days after receiving the Sensor. Tampering with or destroying the Sensor(s) may result in termination of the vehicle’s or Policy’s participation in the Program.
- A smartphone with the App installed must be present in the enrolled vehicle(s) for at least 80% of the trips taken. This may require that multiple vehicle operators download and install the App.
- You must have a compatible smartphone with an adequate data and coverage plan.
- You must transmit information through the App at least every 28 days. Failure to do so may result in your termination from the Program.
- Your enrolled vehicle must remain in the Program throughout an entire evaluation period (“Evaluation Period”) in order to be eligible for earned savings during that period.
- The permissions on your smartphone must be configured to allow the App and Sensor to properly record and transmit your driving data.
- You must request a replacement Sensor if your Sensor no longer functions. Failure to do so may prevent you from earning savings.
Calculation of Earned Savings
- Vehicles enrolled in the Program will be eligible for an introductory savings to be applied to the Policyholder’s billing account for the first two months following the vehicle’s enrollment.
- After the introductory savings period, customers will be eligible to earn savings based on the rated mileage within each Evaluation Period.
- If there are days for which no data is recorded or transmitted due to the App or the Sensor not being set up according to the registration requirements, we will apply a default mileage. The default mileage will be 24 miles per day.
- Rated mileage will be used to determine earned savings for each evaluation period. The rated mileage Is comprised of miles driven and recorded via the phone when it is present in the vehicle, plus miles driven and recorded via the Sensor when the phone is not present in the vehicle, plus default mileage assessed when no data are available.
- The Policyholder will earn savings when the rated mileage during an Evaluation Period is less than a preestablished maximum.
- An enrolled vehicle’s premium does not vary throughout the Policy term; however, the savings may vary depending on the difference between the rated mileage and the maximum mileage for each Evaluation Period.
- We will apply the savings earned during an Evaluation Period to your Policy’s billing account, reducing the premium due on your next bill. Alternatively, the company may return earned savings via a check mailed to you at your last known address.
- A vehicle must remain enrolled in the Program throughout the entire Evaluation Period in order to earn savings based on that Evaluation Period. Incomplete Evaluation Periods will not be pro-rated.
- The App and Sensor must be able to record and transmit driving data throughout the Evaluation Period in order to be eligible for savings in that period.
- Any coverage changes you make to your Policy may impact an enrolled vehicle’s premium for the term, depending on whether a premium is charged for that coverage.
- A vehicle enrolled in the Program will continue to use rated mileage to determine earned savings at each renewal unless the customer has withdrawn from the Program, the Policy has become ineligible, or the Program is ended by American Family.
- Any calculation or adjustment of the applicable vehicle premium will be subject to the rule, rate, and form filings in the state where the Policy is issued, as well as applicable state regulations.
