Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for accumulating and maintaining funds (e.g., money, a money proxy or a combination thereof) in a vehicle maintenance savings account. The account funds may be used to pay for the costs of maintaining and/or operating a vehicle (e.g., costs of maintenance and operation associated with ownership, leasing or renting a vehicle) and/or driver safety. For instance, the balance of the account may be used to pay for driver's education, driver's safety courses, attention improvement/maintenance courses, visual acuity improvement/maintenance courses, vehicle maintenance, repair, inspections, registration, check-ups, replacement parts, emissions testing, government stickers, taxes, license plates, insurance premiums, insurance deductibles, safety products, sensors/monitors, disposal fees, new vehicles of a certain type, etc. The vehicle maintenance savings account system may collect and analyze user data, and may accumulate funds for the user when the user engages in certain user behaviors (e.g., safe driving behaviors, purchase behaviors, account use behaviors, etc.).
