1. A method comprising:
- activating a geo-fence for a pre-determined area responsive to an event related to a vehicle;
receiving Global Positioning System (GPS) signals indicative of a location of the vehicle, the receiving by an onboard device coupled to the vehicle;
detecting that the vehicle has crossed the geo-fence;
creating a data set comprising data regarding locations of the vehicle with respect to the geo-fence; and
determining a parameter associated with an existing insurance policy based on the data set.
