What’s USAA SafePilot Miles?

It’s a safe driving program that offers a savings off your USAA Auto Insurance. Your monthly bill is based on how many miles you drive — the less you drive, the more potential savings.

When your policy renews, you can get an additional safe driving discount for good driving habits like avoiding phone usage and harsh braking.

It uses our safe driving app USAA DriveSafe™, GPS, and other sensors to automatically log your miles and learn your driving habits.

After it collects enough data, it gives you a driving score to tell you how you’re doing.

How much can you save with USAA SafePilot Miles?

Get up to 20% off your premium for driving less. You can also earn up to an additional 20% at renewal for safe driving. 

Who’s it good for?

USAA SafePilot Miles may be a good fit if you:

  • Drive 8,000 miles or less a year.
  • Feel comfortable with a bill that varies month to month.
  • Don’t mind sharing your driving data with us.
  • Have a smartphone with a flexible data plan.
  • Can make sure everyone on your policy participates. 

USAA SafePilot Miles could help you save while you serve.

If you’re active duty living on base and don’t drive too often, USAA SafePilot Miles could be a great option to help lower your expenses. It could also help you if you’re about to deploy.
