Crooked Insurance Company I was trying to cancel my insurance with this company and they would not cancel it until I reported them to consumer protection agency. They wanted to charge me on no signal fees for as long as they could for a car that was sold. They will try to charge you on technicality. Do not trust or do business with this company. I cannot imagine if I would have got into an accident, how would they protect me. Their customer service is pathetic. It does not matter who you talk to. They sound and act like robots. The are owned by Lemonade insurance. They are a tech company.

It's actually unbelievable how bad this… It's actually unbelievable how bad this insurance company is. I had my car stolen for 2 weeks, and not only did they not pay to get the biohazard detailing to remove the crack soot from the person who stole my car, but since the vehicle was covered while the person stole it drove it, I'm on the hook for the 100 miles they drove WHILE MY CLAIM AND POLICE REPORT WERE OPEN. Absolutely ridiculous, avoid this company at ALL costs.

Devices are a bummer The insurance itself has been fine. The devices are pretty bad though. There are two options. One plugs into the OBD2 port, the other plugs into the "lighter" port. The first drains my battery because I don't drive enough to offset the small steady drain. The second doesn't connect within the average duration of my occasional short drives, so I wind up getting alerts that it hasn't connected for too long, and then I have to go drive around to get it to connect. Since the whole point of the insurance is that it's for drivers who drive very little, having neither device work well for that situation is pretty problematic.

Rates went up 40% with no accidents or driving violations. I have been with Metromile for 3+ years now. Initially it was a great deal and good value. They were acquired by Lemonade which is based in SF and NYC. I think we are basically paying the rents of these young people who don't know how to run a company profitably. I have had no accidents or tickets and my rates went up 40% -- so high that I can get similar policies from Progressive or GEICO which I am going to do. I do not recommend either Lemonade or Metromile for your pet insurance or auto insurance. I am in the process of moving one or both.

be aware of their iron fist in a velvet glove. Initially, I was pleased with Metromile. It was a young, dynamic company, offering a good service. However, it changed for the worst. I am 81 and leave alone in the heart of the Sequoias. Last year I had a major surgery and went to my friends in Long Island, NY. to recuperate. Before I left, I call Metromile and ask if it is OK to suspend my insurance for about seven months and reinstate it when I am back in California. I was told there is no problem, but no one took care to explain that my rates would go up. They increased everything: the base rate, per/mile rate, even an after 100 miles discount went up to 250 miles. They said I had to be treated as a new client. No explanation and no consideration. They lied, saying that it is also because the industry has increased rates. When I checked it out with Progressive and the 20-th century, I was told, no rates were increased in that period. Metromile is a good concept. However, be aware of their iron fist in a velvet glove. Yuri Spilny
