Pay per mile is a car insurance that charges you for the miles you cover. It is based on the premise that the customer should get the most for every purchase. The realization that an annual insurance cover would include costs of risks that are not necessarily part of the driver’s life, made it important that a per mile cover be provided.
This per mile car insurance cover works by having a gadget (GPS tracker) fitting into your car that would transmit the data of where you are and the speed to the insurance company. I know what your next question would be, ‘so does it monitor me? Is it another big brother business?’ This is however not the case. It is about giving the drivers a cover according to the risks they get exposed to. The GPS locator is not also not able to transmit data other than what is mentioned above.
Now, it would be expected at the time for application to explain your likely distances. This is used to estimate the cover limits even though it is the real time trip sizes that are used to charge or pay for the premiums. For young female drivers, this option is the best because most of them would not take long drivers as would the male drivers.
This cover of pay per mile is therefore very beneficial for women who drive very short distances. You may only a few dollars over a long period. Beside, with a little more shopping, you can be able to find even more discounted rates. The discounts can also drop with a ‘no claim record’ presented. Given that most female drivers are likely to record a low accident rate, they can therefore end up paying very low premiums.
