What are the fees associated with telemetry data-sharing?

Last updated 12/2025

Telemetry data-sharing for every vehicle covered by a Cover Whale Auto Liability policy is required.

Policies are now defaulted to our preferred option for data sharing, ELD. The policyholder should connect their existing camera/electronic logging devices (ELDs) to their Cover Whale policy, or they will be asked to install forward-facing dashcams provided by Cover Whale. 

After binding, the insured will receive an email with their connection link. If their existing device is not supported, they will have 10 days post-effective date to purchase their camera(s).

Underwriting fees are assessed for both telemetry data-sharing options, applicable only to E&S policies. These fees reflect our sustained commitment to enhancing driver safety and continually improving our service.

For new & renewing policies the underwriting fees are as follows:

• $1099 per vehicle

Telemetry data-sharing is optional for policies other than Auto Liability offered by Cover Whale. Although, if policyholders choose to engage in data sharing for those policies, the above fees still apply.

**To ensure compliance at time of connection, policyholders should log into their admin ELD account and confirm all scheduled vehicles (VINs) are listed. They should remove any vehicles (VINs) no longer in their posession.**
