Your Emergency Contact is the person we will try to get in touch with in case of an emergency. The Primary Driver Contact is the name and information of the person that is most likely to be the main car driver at all times.
In order to be eligible for Crash Response, you must provide a Primary Driver Contact. In the event of a car crash, this is the phone number that emergency services will use to verify if assistance is needed. We recommend using the phone number of the person who is most likely to be driving the Hum-equipped vehicle.
Your Emergency Contact is the person who you may want us to notify in the event of an emergency. If you have an emergency and are speaking with Hum emergency services, they can call your Emergency Contact on your behalf to inform them that you have been in an accident. We will not reach out to your Emergency Contact unless we have your permission.
