Metromile

Pay-per-mile auto insurance platform

Overview

Metromile is a digital auto insurance platform that prices premiums by the mile using data science to tailor policies to individual drivers. It works with a base rate plus a per-mile charge, and mileage is tracked to align costs with actual driving. The company differentiates itself with a digital-first user experience, automated claims processing, and smart driving tools that encourage safer driving while potentially lowering costs. In addition to direct auto insurance, Metromile licenses its technology as Metromile Enterprise to other insurers, creating a secondary revenue stream. The goal is to deliver fairer, more cost-effective insurance for urban and occasional drivers by matching premiums to actual usage and by expanding through technology licensing.
