Jemez Insurance Agency
Serving Los Alamos Since 1963

Telematics, also known as usage-based insurance or “Pay How You Drive” car insurance, tracks driving habits, including driving distances, speed, braking behaviors and more. That information is used by an insurance company to help customize your auto insurance premium.
