Speak out for "Pay As You Drive" insurance in California

High gas prices and increasing environmental consciousness have caused Californians to spend less time behind the wheel, but we're still paying the same amount for insurance. Tell officials to require insurance companies to offer a Pay As You Drive policy to their customers in California.

Daniel Goodell, California Department of Insurance

Dear Mr. Goodell,

(Edit Letter Below)

I strongly support your efforts to put forward regulations to permit Pay As You Drive (PAYD) insurance in California. PAYD is a simple reform with wide-ranging benefits. Californians would save money, drivers would have safer roads, and we all would benefit from a cleaner environment. No other environmental policy currently under consideration could so quickly have meaningful environmental benefits while actually saving most Californians money.

But to realize these benefits, PAYD insurance needs to become a reality. While permitting PAYD is essential, getting PAYD policies written and in the glove compartments of California drivers is the real goal. That's why I urge you to *require* companies that sell auto insurance in California to offer a mileage-based Pay As You Drive product to their customers.

By requiring PAYD, you can give California drivers a clear and easy way to save money, while also rewarding those who do their part for the environment, and their fellow drivers, by driving less. Please strengthen the draft regulation to require PAYD insurance policy options for all California drivers.

Sincerely,
