Pay-as-you-drive insurance charges you only for the kilometres you drive\u2014unlike traditional motor insurance that charges everyone the same regardless of usage. This usage-based model follows patterns similar to those described under usage based driving patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n Think of a daily metro commuter in Mumbai who uses their car only on weekends. Or a Gurgaon professional who travels mostly by office cab. Or a retired couple in Indore who drive less than 500 km a month. Traditional insurance treats them like high-mileage users.
