Frequently asked questions

Still have questions about activating automerit? We’re here to help.

automerit gives you control over how much you pay for car insurance based on how safe you drive and how many trips you make. Available through the belairdirect app, automerit assesses your driving habits using your phone's GPS and motion sensors to offer you a personalized premium at renewal (the “Adjustment”). Good driving habits could help you save on your car insurance by up to 25%, whereas drivers who take risks on the road could see their premium increase by up to 25% upon each renewal.

Even if you're not the policyholder of the car insurance policy, any or all principal drivers on the policy can still enroll in automerit with the policyholder’s authorization. Adjustments to the premium of each car on your policy will be based on the driving habits of the Enrolled Driver(s). If you or another Enrolled Driver unenrolls or is removed from automerit, we'll still use the previously saved driving data to adjust your premium.

You will need an iPhone running iOS 14 or higher or an Android device running version 8.0 or higher. As the sensors react differently on different types of phones, the performance of automerit could vary depending on the model you own.
