With Pay As You Drive the individual driving style can be queried and therefore the customer can be offered the appropriate insurance rates.

The days of uniform insurance rates were yesterday - Pay As You Drive enables an innovative usage-based insurance service and fulfills the desire of vehicle users to insure their vehicle based on personal usage. By requesting information such as the duration, time and areas a vehicle is driven, the insurance rate can be perfectly adjusted to the driving characteristics of the vehicle users. Pay As You Drive rewards those who drive less, e.g. with savings on their premiums.

1. Data Release

The driver activates three Mercedes me services and gives consent for the data to be used by a third party - the insurer. The data includes timestamp, mileage, and geographic location of each start and end of a trip.
The personalized data can be validated and aggregated via our developed algorithms.

2. Data Collection

After giving consent, the driver activates the Pay As You Drive service. The insurer is notified and can offer individualized insurance rates to the customer based on the vehicle identification number (VIN).

3. Data Security

Data protection is our top priority. We only use data from customers who have given their consent to share their anonymized data for this specific use case. The customer can revoke this consent at any time. We also anonymize the data by deleting all personal information as soon as the data enters our backend.
