Pay-per-mile car insurance in San Diego

Getting around the sunny city of San Diego is easy by trolley, train, or bus, but having your own vehicle is handy when you want to take a trip to the beach or spend the weekend at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. It’s illegal to drive in California without car insurance, yet for those who seldom drive, paying high premiums doesn’t really make much sense.

Now, there’s a different option, one that can save you hundreds per year* without sacrificing great coverage. Those who don’t drive often, work from home, or are retired often choose Metromile, pay-per-mile car insurance in San Diego.
 How does it work? You pay a low base rate that starts as low as $29/month and as few as 6 cents per each mile you drive. You get to enjoy the peace of mind that you’re insured when you’re on the road without having to pay high premiums if your car stays parked for long periods of time.

When shopping for car insurance quotes, San Diego residents can skip the hassle of traditional car insurance pricing and enroll with Metromile.

What San Diegans customers say

“I signed up with Metromile because I carpool a lot with my boyfriend and I live really close to my workplace if I do wind up driving. For the amount of coverage you get, the price cannot be beat. Additionally, I had a problem with my first transponder, and the customer service rep I spoke to was so helpful and informative. He was really nice and made sure my issue was taken care of immediately! I will continue using them for quite a while, unless something in my life changes.”

–Kyle H.

“Great insurance with unbeatable prices if you drive less than 10,000 miles a year.”

–Rasha M.
El Cajon, California

“I’m so happy to have found Metromile. When I’ve needed to call, I always spoke to a live person almost immediately, and have always gotten my questions answered. I really like the online dashboard, which tracks my miles driven, my driving routes, and my current balance. At one point, one of my yellow engine lights came on and right away I received a call from Metromile, asking if I was OK and letting me know that they saw it as well. Thankfully, it was due to something minor, but I was glad to have a second set of eyes looking out for me!”

–Jessica F.
El Cajon, California

“I love that we are saving money. We quoted other carriers and the price would have been more than double of what we pay.”

–Karena J.
