How to save on auto insurance in Pennsylvania
More than 124 million Americans, including many Pennsylvania drivers, could be overpaying for car insurance because of one mistake: they do not pay per mile.
Fortunately, “pay as you drive” and “pay as you go” insurance can give you control over how much you want to pay for auto insurance. These pay-per-mile auto insurance policies are based on how far you drive, using your actual driving.
Drivers can save a lot of money. According to a recent survey of new customers who saved with Metromile, drivers could save as much as $947 a year.
| Miles driven per year | Per month | Per day | Savings* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | 833 miles | 192 miles | $541 |
| 6,000 | 500 miles | 115 miles | $741 |
| 2,500 | 208 miles | 48 miles | $947 |

How are auto insurance rates determined in Pennsylvania?
Insurance companies in Pennsylvania consider many factors when setting rates. Some of the most common include coverage limits and deductibles, claims history, driving history, vehicle type, vehicle theft rates, and many others.
Consider shopping around for auto insurance regularly. Rates can change over time, so it is important to stay current.
Pay-per-mile auto insurance can be fairer because it helps drivers control costs. Metromile customers’ bills update in almost real time because they pay per mile.
Metromile charges a base rate and a per-mile rate each month, usually just a few cents for each mile driven. The low monthly base rate keeps your car covered, even when you might not be driving, almost like how a cell phone provider might charge you a small fee to keep your telephone number and line operating.
