Mileage-Based Insurance Plans

Metromile Pay-Per-Mile Service Saves Helps Drivers Save Money

— September 19, 2014 — Autos
If you're looking for cheap car insurance, one handy device to have on board is a free device from Metromile that will only charge you per mile. If you happen to be in the 70% bracket of drivers who travels less than 10,000 miles per year, this could save you huge money. For example, if you only drive about 2,000 miles annually, the cost savings are estimated to be somewhere around $530.

In addition to using this app to save on insurance, the Metromile app is also useful for letting you know if there's anything broken in your car, where you parked your car or travel routes that will cut down on your commute to save you time and gas.
