Normally, insurers evaluate criteria such as age, gender, credit score, region drivers reside in and how much you use your car when determining the price for an auto insurance policy.
However, OnStar is taking a different approach.

GM says OnStar Insurance Services is taking "biased judgment out of insurance shopping by focusing on factors within the customer’s control: individual vehicle usage and rewarding smart driving habits that benefit road safety."

OnStar will "build on the learnings of the OnStar Smart Driver feature" in an effort to provide proactive recommendations for smarter driving habits, potentially earning them discounts, according to GM.
Andrew Rose, president of OnStar Insurance Services, says in doing so they are "offering insurance in an innovative way" compared to fellow insurers.
OnStar will first offer the insurance to GM employees in Arizona before expanding the offer to additional customers, including the general public, in early 2021.
