Automotive usage-based insurance (UBI) is a type of auto insurance where the premium is determined based on the actual usage of the vehicle. This insurance model utilizes telematics technology to monitor driving habits, mileage, and other relevant factors.
The main types of automotive usage-based insurance include pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), pay-how-you-drive (PHYD), and manage-how-you-drive (MHYD). Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) is a form of usage-based insurance where the premium is calculated mainly based on the distance driven by the vehicle. This allows drivers to pay for insurance according to their vehicle usage. PAYD is applicable to various vehicle types, such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and employs different technologies, including black boxes, on-board diagnostics (OBD) II, embedded smartphones, and others. It is distributed through various channels, such as insurance companies and aggregator platforms, and serves different end-users, including individual consumers and fleet owners or managers.

The growth in vehicle ownership is anticipated to drive the expansion of the automotive usage-based insurance market. Vehicle ownership involves the possession and registration of motorized vehicles by individuals or entities, encompassing the rights and responsibilities related to the vehicle. This increase in vehicle ownership is attributed to economic growth, higher disposable incomes, urbanization, and a rising need for personal mobility. Automotive usage-based insurance (UBI) appeals to cost-conscious drivers by offering lower premiums to safe and low-mileage drivers, with personalized rates based on individual driving patterns. For example, in June 2024, Statistics Canada, a Canada-based government agency, reported that the total number of road motor vehicles registered in Canada reached 26.3 million in 2022, marking a 0.3% increase from 2021. Consequently, the rise in vehicle ownership is fueling the growth of the automotive usage-based insurance market.
Major players in the automotive usage-based insurance market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as usage-based insurance models, to offer personalized premiums, enhance customer engagement, and improve risk assessment. These models leverage data from a vehicle's telematics system to evaluate driving behaviors, including speed, distance, and frequency, enabling insurers to offer customized premiums. Safe driving is rewarded, and risk assessments are made more accurate. For example, in August 2024, Zuno General Insurance Limited, an India-based insurance company, introduced Pay How You Drive, which rewards safe driving and gives customers more control over their insurance expenses. This coverage personalizes car insurance premiums by linking them to individual driving behaviors, assessed through a mobile app that calculates a Zuno Driving Quotient. This approach not only offers discounts based on driving scores but also encourages safe driving practices, allowing customers to track their performance and earn rewards for improving their driving habits.
