Farmer's Annual Mileage Survey

Farmer's recently sent me a mileage survey to track how many miles I anticipate to drive in the upcoming year. Farmer's outsourced my auto insurance through one of their affiliate companies - Mid-Century Insurance Company. Mid-Century estimates me to drive 35,454 miles in the next year.

I'm not sure where Mid-Century Insurance Company obtains their estimates from, but not many people drive that many miles in any given year. How can that estimate be the average miles driven? The external sources claim that the average person drives 35,454 miles annually. Are they also averaging in truck drivers in calculating those estimates?

Since I don't commute to a physical work location, I don't drive that often. In the next year, I don't plan to drive more than 7,500 miles. Maybe I will drive less frequently because I don't have time to travel.

Regardless, I'm baffled by the 34,454 mile estimate. I understand that driving excessive miles increases insurance premiums because there is a greater chance that a motorist may get involved in an accident.

Farmer's Insurance is a good company. I have auto insurance on two cars, life insurance, and renter's insurance with them. I've had ongoing coverage since March 2003. The only thing that puzzles me is how they figure out the estimated miles to be driven. Other than this mileage survey, I have been happy with Farmer's.

  1. They take the miles on your vehicle and divide it by the age of the vehicle. If it is incorrect, call you agent and you can sign a document ton hae the miles corrected...

  4. I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
    like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion,
    if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever
    before.

  5. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but
    I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had issues
    with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  15. Today, I went to the beach front with my children.

    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
    and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There
    was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
    back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  22. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  25. I understand that those are the products designed by manufacturers to make them
    money and if they are endorsed by winning popular professionals, sales will be high.
    It should come as no surprise that i - Tunes is loaded full of pirate

  26. The estimate that was generated for your vehicle is based off of your prior odometer readings on your vehicle and state averages for commuter miles driven. It is a suggestion, should you expect your driving habbits to remain the same for the upcoming year. If this estimate seems high, I would suggest reaching out to your insurance agent for assistence in completing the survey. Agents are typically more than happy to help you save on your renewal and will help you determine what you should set your estimate at. Thats what there here for!
