Pay-per-mile car insurance in Virginia

If you’re a driver in the Old Dominion state, you already know the law—whether you’re commuting to your job in Virginia Beach or Norfolk, or taking a leisurely road trip to the Chesapeake Bay, you need auto insurance to drive on the road legally in Virginia.

It’s a requirement that protects all the drivers on the road: When you carry a state-approved Virginia auto insurance policy, you’ll know that you won’t get stuck paying hundreds of thousands of dollars out-of-pocket after an at-fault accident.

If you’re looking to save money on your auto insurance in Virginia, we’ve got some great news: If you drive fewer than 10,000 miles per year, you may be able to save a significant amount of cash if you choose pay-per-mile car insurance with Metromile.
How does pay-per-mile auto insurance work?

It’s pretty simple, with Metromile, you’ll start with a steady monthly rate that can be as low as $29/month. After that, you’ll pay a little (which can be as low as 6 cents per mile!) for each mile you actually drive. That means in months you don’t drive very much, you won’t pay as much for your car insurance.

In short, your Metromile rate depends on your actual driving habits. The less you drive, the more you could save.

That’s why pay-per-mile auto insurance coverage from Metromile can be a great choice for retirees as well as drivers who use public transportation or who often work from home. (Our customers have saved up to $947* per year.)
