A new type of Car Insurance getting a lot of attention. Targeted to people who dont drive very much. Consumerwatch reporter julie watts on whether the pay per mile insurance pays off. Reporter the commercials are catchy aimed at commuters and people who work in home. My car is rarely parked out front all day. Reporter he just signed up with metro mile a bay area based startup that offers pay per mile Car Insurance. So you pay for what you use. Reporter metro miles dan preston says his average customer drives about 4500 miles a year. Although that number generally drops by 6 after they sign up. Customers who pay the most with us are taking the bus or train or biking to work. Reporter rates are by flat rate and a per mile rate. In adams case 7 cents a mile. The company tracks customer mileage through a wireless device that plugs into a port under the dash board but metro mile isnt the only game in town. At least 6 other companies in california also offer whats known as usage based Car Insurance. Though only metro mile uses a tracking device. When you think about it from the Insurance Companys perspective, you know, every mile youre out there on the road is a potential accident. Reporter amy bach of united policyholders likes the idea of a positive incentive for driving less but urges drivers to read Online Reviews and use caution when switchings to a startup.

His monthly bills went from 130 a month to about 40. Why not spread the word . Reporter now, we should note not everyone is going to get a cheaper rate at least thats what we found when we pested it out. People may save more with insurers who bundle their car and homeowners and other insurance policies. Metro mile plans to branch out. Have they been around a while and attracting people with that little tracker . They have been in San Francisco for a year. They are branching out. The gps tracker you can turn it it off and that disables their ability to track you. If you leave it on they offer extra Services Like alert you if you are about to get a parking ticket. That would be cool. I know. Right. So they look at what you drove for the year and then calculate your insurance based off that number . I believe its monthly so you get a flat rate each month and then for every mile you drive you pay x number per mile. Thank you. Expect some street closures and detours in the area of 4th and king street beginning tonight. The second phase of construction on San Franciscos central subway is beginning.
