Metromile, Inc. (NASDAQ: MILE, MILEW), a leading digital insurance
platform and pay-per-mile auto insurer, today announced a
significant expansion of its Independent Agents program, along with
the appointment of Scot Rankin, a 30 year insurance veteran, as
Independent Agency Relationship Manager.
Through an integration with the EZLynx Rating Engine, Metromile
can now offer Independent Agents access to Metromile’s high
quality, customizable pay-per-mile auto insurance, which features
significant savings, standout customer experience, and easy
bundling of home and auto insurance.
Rankin, who joins Metromile from Travelers, will build
additional integrations and infrastructure to support Independent
Agents and significantly scale the channel. Currently, the program
offers agents a:
- Quote in under two minutes
- Dedicated in-house support team
- Easy-to-use agent portal
- Fast, stress-free claims filing for
agents’ clients
“I’ve specialized in working with Independent Agents for more
than 30 years, so I can attest to their position as a trusted
resource for many consumers shopping for insurance. Independent
Agents will play a valuable role in educating drivers on the
benefits of data-driven insurance, the value of pay-per-mile, and
the savings and experience unique to Metromile,” said Rankin.
More than half of the country’s drivers were already low mileage
drivers pre-pandemic, driving 10,000 miles or less per year. This
population is now growing as more of the country’s workforce
forgoes the commute and settles into work-from-home routines.
According to Upwork, 36.2 million Americans will work remotely by
2025, an increase of 16.8 million people from pre-pandemic
levels.
Yet, too often, consumers do not realize that even if they get
behind the wheel every day they may still be low mileage
drivers—leaving cost savings from pay-per-mile on the table.
Independent Agents have the expertise to recognize drivers who are
a fit and educate them on high-quality alternatives to traditional,
proxy-based static insurance.
“Independent Agents account for more than 30% of all auto
insurance sales, and we believe there is significant opportunity to
work with them to reach more low-mileage drivers now and in years
to come as we expand nationwide,” said Troy Dye, SVP, Growth.
“These agents want what's best for their clients, and they can
appreciate our value proposition that combines high-quality
insurance with lower rates. Gone are the days when paying less
meant getting less.”
Metromile already hosts more than 880 Independent Agents on the
platform, with more expected to be added in the coming weeks.
