Pay-per-mile car insurance in Berkeley

Berkeley has plenty of reasons to drive, whether it’s visiting other nearby cities or just taking in California’s beautiful scenery. And if you’re going to get behind the wheel, it’s a simple fact that you have to have insurance. 

Keeping your car doesn’t have to cost as much as you may think, though. For auto insurance, Berkeley has a cost-effective option that doesn’t skimp on the coverage — Metromile.

Metromile’s pay-per-mile system is a fairer way of looking at a cost that all drivers have — why pay a lot if you don’t drive a lot?
Instead, you have a low monthly base rate (as low as $29) and as few as 6 cents per mile on top of that. No big bills based on arbitrary factors, just simple math. Claims and customer service are behind you 24/7 and your coverage is totally customizable.

So, especially if you don’t drive as much as you used to, Metromile has an affordable alternative to traditional auto insurance. Does your car stay in the garage more than it used to? If so, Metromile has already saved some drivers up to hundreds of dollars per year*, and that could be you too.
