Car insurance is essential to protect yourself from the financial consequence of any accidents.While some people are high risk and drive their car often, it is actually unfair that someone who does not intend to drive their car often pay the same amount of premium. This is when car insurance companies come up with the idea of pay as you drive car insurance. Pay as you go car insurance has the benefit that you only pay for the distance that you plan to drive. Basically the less you drive the less you pay. Some insurers will actually monitor the distance driven using a GPS system. This sort of car insurance is perfect for those that actually only drive occasionally and for those that use public transport frequently. It is also great for those people that has a second that they do not drive often. The catch with pay as you drive car insurance is that you will actually end up paying more if you drive more than you intend.
