Saw this on the news the other night, a new concept in auto insurance in Texas - pay by the mile.   I put about 12K a year on my bike, and only about 3K on my car so I went to their web site www.milemeter.com and plugged in my info, for the miles I drive on my 10 year old Sebring convertible, I can insure it for about $300 a year... 

You choose how many miles you want to buy (minimum 1000), your insurance expires in 6 months or when you use up the miles, whichever comes first.   You can add more miles if you didn't buy enough miles, but I'm guessing they probably throw in an extra fee for that but couldn't find it on their web site.

My girlfriend puts about 6K a year on her '04 Accord, for her it was about break-even with the insurance she currently has...

Just thought some of you guys might have a similar situation and want to know about this...

I put 10k in 6 months on my bike.... and the truck is the daily driver!

That would be nice if it was a little cheaper I put about 40k to 50k on my truck and looks like it will be around 10k or so in the bike a year

Yeah, it's intended for cars that don't get driven much.   Less time on the road should be a lower risk...  For people like me who ride more than they drive, and only keep a car for bad weather days, its worth taking a look at.

This is definitely something I'm going to look into. Working out of the house, my cars don't get much use. I did a couple of quotes yesterday, and now have to see how the rest of the picture would be affected, as Momma's car and the Feejer are on the Progressive policy as well, and may go up if I make a change.

Thanks for the link!
