They are not the only insurance company piloting this.
What worries me is that the day will come where they might not even offer insurance without it, or offer non-GPS insurance with Lloyds of London premiums.
“We’re not interested in where they go. We’re only interested in the amount they travel,” said Rentschler.”
Anyone who actually believes this statement is a complete, total, automatic imbecile.
Notice that they don’t even bother trying to do this in “red” areas...because that might just be a tipping point.
If the actual goal was to make road use taxes (which, of course, are no longer used for building and maintaining roads) “fair” between gasoline, LNG, methanol, biodiesel, and so on, wouldn’t a large tax on tires be more fair with a corresponding serious drop in fuel taxes? Of course it would - and that’s why it won’t happen.
