The concept is similar to pay as you drive and it takes into the account the distance you travel as one of the items on your policy. Through self-reported mileage reports you send in form time to time, the insurance firm establishes the relationship between your insurance premiums and the distance traveled making for affordable and adequate insurance coverage. Trending is established after a few months and with higher mileage comes a well oiled vehicle, meaning it is well maintained enough to get you lower premiums. Pay as you drive differs little, adding the factor of how much travel time and how well you use your car, based on your needs choosing public transport over the car for short trips and using well planned routes for long trips, all making for one lean machine and a mean insurance coverage to match.

The Governor of the US State of Florida is in hot water, caught in between infighting between lawmakers and national insurance company reps who are fighting for deregulation of the insurance industry. The insurance industry was placed under regulation when the sub-prime lending market collapsed giving way to the economic turmoil we are all in today. Since then, the industry has been fighting to regain the control they have had in the past and with the State governor set to veto the bill to deregulate the industry, he is going to be assured of less support in the next elections.
The insurance industry used to have full control and reign when it comes to their laws and regulations, imposed and deliberated on by a group of industry appointed members that forms the mediation board. The many insurance companies that have collapsed has also resulted in the regulation of the industry. The insurance industry has been finding it hard to deal with the recession and are fighting to survive since they bore the brunt of the financial crisis.
