NC Teen Auto Insurance - Teensurance™ from Safeco®
McLeod Insurance Agency, LLC and Safeco (NYSE: SAF) announce the availability of TeensuranceTM powered by Safeco, a new product that helps North Carolina families protect their teen drivers as they gain experience and build trust.
Teensurance includes a set of online tools based on an on-board GPS and notification technology called the Safety BeaconTM, and provides real-world services to give parents peace of mind and help keep teens safe on the road. This new bundle of tools enables families to take proactive steps to monitor their teen’s behavior behind the wheel. Parents can set speed, distance and curfew limitations and affords them access to their teens’ vehicles with real-time notification so they will know if their teen drivers are in danger. With Teensurance parents and teens can also:
• Set “safe driving” zones to gradually ease new drivers into the driving scene as they gain experience;
• Unlock a car door remotely, in seconds, using a simple code;
• Access roadside assistance, 24/7, in case of car trouble;
• Gain insights into teen driving attitudes via the TeenDash survey;
• Download a parent/teen contract and educational materials
“Teensurance is a proactive solution to help parents around North Carolina keep their families safe on the road, and the first in a series of Safeco innovations that push beyond traditional insurance to impact our customers on a broad scale,” says McLeod Insurance Agency, LLC.
“Before [Teensurance], parents had to rely on hope and worry to mitigate this stressful time. Now, parents have the ability to guide frank conversations about what is acceptable behind the wheel, as well as the peace of mind that comes with knowing what actually happens on the road.”
Teensurance is available to customers with Safeco auto insurance policies. Those customers are eligible to receive the product for a limited-time introductory price of $14.99/month. The price includes free installation of the Safety Beacon, and is guaranteed for two years.
