Thanks for all the interest in MileMeter! To address some of the comments: 1. Pchristensen -- While MileMeter can't solve the uninsured motorist (UM) problem single-handedly, we can put a dent in it. Many uninsured motorists are uninsured due to insurance affordability. Some low-income drivers must choose between purchasing groceries and legal compliance (see papers at http://centspermilenow.org http://centspermilenow.org). In my opinion, legal enforcement of UM laws is capricious unless an affordable compliance solution exists. Simply by pricing by the mile, MileMeter insurance should lessen the affordability problem and beneficially impact UM driving. 2. Anamax -- The correlation between vehicle miles traveled and accidents is roughly linear when all else is held equal (age, location, vehicle, etc). For every mile you drive you have roughly the same probability of becoming involved in an accident. 3. Spolsky (Joel?) -- Despite what insurers request as part of the underwriting process, no auto insurance product currently in existence uses your mileage as a principal rating or pricing factor. Trust me on this one :) Part of the problem with existing insurance companies is their lack of rating and pricing transparency: obfuscation favors the insurer, not the consumer. By pricing by the mile MileMeter hopes to address several industry flaws at once, and provide an intuitive product to consumers. 4. MileMeter does not use tracking devices. 5. ZipCar (now merged with FlexCar) is an excellent service. We hope to work with them one day. -Chris (of MileMeter)
