How do I add Family Members to my account?

Only Primary Hum+ or HumX Account Holders can invite Family Members who currently do not have an existing hum account. Once Family Members accept the invitation, they will have access privileges and visibility into shared vehicle information including location, maintenance, trip history and roadside assistance benefits.

To invite Family Members, the Primary Account Holder can follow these steps:

  1. Select Manage Family Members from the pull-down menu.
  2. Click on Invite Family Members and enter the name, email address and phone number of the person you wish to invite.
  3. Select the vehicle(s) you want to share with your Family Member and click Send Invitation.

Note: At least one vehicle has to be selected in order for the invitation to be sent. If you only have one vehicle, it will be selected automatically by default.

Can I move my Hum device from one vehicle to another?

Yes you can, as long as your vehicle is compatible with Hum. You can check vehicle compatibility at www.hum.com/compatibility/

There are 2 different ways to move a Hum device from one vehicle to another:

  1. Automatic Detection:

    Plug your Hum OBD Reader into the port of your new vehicle, then go for a drive. Your data will sync automatically. IMPORTANT: It may take up to 24 hours for the Hum app to update.

  2. Manual Update:

    From the Hum app, access the side menu and go to My Account, select your vehicle, click on Change Vehicle - Change Vehicle Manually. You will be prompted to enter the VIN number and color of the new vehicle. You can then plug your Hum OBD Reader into the port of your new vehicle before taking a drive.

What is the difference between Emergency Contact and Primary Driver Contact?

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.

Why do I need to provide Emergency and Primary Driver Contacts?

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.
