Formula
Estimated savings ≈ Annual premium × (0.05 to 0.20) at <7,500 miles. Pay-per-mile saves more if commute is short.
How to use it
- Estimate your annual mileage (odometer reading × 12 / months)
- If under 7,500 miles, ask about low-mileage discount
- If under 5,000 miles, compare pay-per-mile carriers (Metromile, Mile Auto)
- Submit odometer photos at renewal
Worked example
5,200 miles/year, $1,400 premium → eligible for 15% discount = $210/year saved.
