Mercury Insurance announced that the company has made its usage-based insurance app, MercuryGO, available to drivers in Illinois to help improve driving skills and traffic safety.
Mercury says the app acts as a virtual driving coach, providing skill scores that give real-time feedback about driving behavior.
The MercuryGO app generates a driving skill score, which is calculated based on categories that are closely correlated with car crashes: excessive speeding, hard braking, distracted driving (i.e., phone motion and screen interaction), and road type.
Mercury is offering a 5% participation discount for auto insurance policyholders who enroll to use the app immediately and up a 10% discount for teen drivers.
