Get the Insurance Discount You Deserve

Mick Johnson commutes fewer than 20 miles a day to and from work. He’s been taking advantage of the OnStar Low Mileage Discount since 2004. “It’s a great benefit to get a lower premium,” Mick says.

The OnStar Low Mileage Discount is an auto insurance discount for subscribers residing in eligible states who drive within the mileage ranges specified by their auto insurer. Mick has auto insurance through GMAC Insurance, one of several insurance companies that offer discounts to OnStar subscribers.

How the Low Mileage Discount works

Once you’ve enrolled in the program, your insurer will notify OnStar. With your permission, the odometer reading from your monthly OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics email is forwarded to your participating insurance provider. Based on those readings, the company will modify your premiums using discount tiers corresponding to miles driven. This can earn you a larger discount because your report verifies actual mileage. So the fewer miles you drive, the higher your discount. For example, if you have auto insurance through GMAC Insurance and you only drive up to 2,500 miles a year, you are eligible for a 54 percent Low Mileage Discount. Conversely, if you drive between 12,501 and 15,000 miles per year, your Low Mileage Discount through GMAC Insurance would be 13 percent.

“Anyone who drives less than 15,000 miles a year should get a quote from GMAC Insurance,” says Mick.

Not a low mileage driver? No problem. The Active OnStar Subscriber Discount can also save you money on your insurance and requires only an active OnStar subscription.
