Auto insurance can be tricky. There are all sorts of discounts available and one of those is the distance you drive your car. If you drive less than 10 miles to work, you can get a discount. If you drive less than 15,000 miles in a year you can also get a discount with most companies. The article below also explains this.

Auto Insurance Rewarding Those Who Drive Less?

According to the article “Regulators Shy Away From Imposing Emissions-Cutting Auto Insurance” by Evan Lehmann on NYTimes.com, key insurance regulators recently said they won’t require the auto insurance industry to offer auto insurance policies that help reduce emissions by rewarding drivers who are on the road less.

The regulators also weren’t keen on the new plan to make those policies standard across the county. This plan is often known as “pay-as-you-drive”. Joel Ario, Pennsylvania’s insurance commissioner believes they will never require the pay-as-you-drive concept. Ario and other researchers have promoted the drive less mentality over the years. They believe drivers will stay off the roads more if they know they will pay less on auto insurance quotes because of it. This will lead to less environmentally unfriendly emissions from automobiles. –more
