No, Safeco does not offer a specific low mileage discount. Safeco premiums do take mileage into account, however, as rates are an average of 24% lower for customers who drive 7,500 miles annually than for customers who drive 15,000 miles annually, according to WalletHub data.

Low mileage drivers usually save on their Safeco premium because less time on the road means a smaller chance of filing a claim. Besides offering lower premiums for low mileage drivers, Safeco offers multi policy, multi-vehicle, and safety features discounts, among others.

It's also worth noting that Safeco has a usage-based insurance program called RightTrack, which can help low mileage drivers save money. RightTrack tracks mileage and other driving habits, saving policyholders up to 30%.

Yes, Esurance offers gap insurance as an optional policy add-on. Esurance gap insurance pays the difference between a totaled car's actual cash value and your remaining loan or lease balance, though you will be responsible for paying a deductible  

The cost of Esurance gap insurance depends on factors like your state and your vehicle's value. Regardless, purchasing gap insurance from an insurance company is usually a better investment than purchasing this coverage from a dealership, where the cost is often rolled into your loan/lease and charged interest. Plus, you can cancel Esurance gap insurance once your car is worth more than your loan or lease balance.

Esurance and Allstate are not the same company, even though Allstate owns Esurance. Allstate purchased Esurance in 2011, but Esurance still operates independently from Allstate, offering a smaller suite of insurance options and discounts.  

In 2019, Allstate announced it would be retiring the Esurance brand but that this process would be gradual. You can still purchase an Esurance policy, although it is unclear what will happen to policyholders once the phase-out is complete.

Allstate also owns other well-known brands like Encompass Insurance and Answer Financial.

Esurance is so cheap because the company offers a wide variety of discounts that almost anyone can get. A minimum coverage policy from Esurance costs an average of $60 per month, and Esurance premiums can be made even cheaper by taking advantage of discounts such as safety features discounts and roadside assistance discount. Plus, Esurance rewards customer loyalty with discounts for insuring more than one car and bundling multiple policies, such as home and auto.

Your final premium is based on a variety of factors, though, such as your driving record, insurance history, and more. Every insurance company determines their rates differently, so even though Esurance is among the cheapest car insurance companies, the only way to confirm you've found the lowest price is to compare quotes from multiple companies.
