Pay-per-mile car insurance in Los Angeles

It’s no surprise that you’re required to have car insurance in Los Angeles, but many residents are shocked to learn just how much traditional auto coverage can cost. A fender bender can be pretty expensive if you don’t have adequate protection, but if you don’t drive much, work from home, or are retired, there’s no reason to pay high premiums while your car gathers dust in your designated parking space.

If you’ve been wishing there was a better way to comply with California state insurance requirements without having to pay a fortune, you’re in luck. Metromile’s pay-per-mile pricing provides the perfect balance of peace of mind when you’re driving and costs that are truly affordable.
With a base rate that starts as low as $29/month and as little as 6 cents per mile you drive on top of that, it’s a win-win.

Public transportation in Los Angeles can make your life easy, but if you want to enjoy road trips to Santa Barbara or like to clear your mind at Joshua Tree, it’s a lot easier if you have your own car. Instead of sacrificing the freedom of having a vehicle because car insurance rates are too high, get a quote today from Metromile to see how much you can save. After all, working from home doesn’t mean you have to be stuck there.
