About Metromile
Metromile pioneered pay-per-mile car insurance, using telematics devices to track actual driving behavior and mileage to determine premiums. The company targeted low-mileage drivers who were overpaying with traditional insurers, offering potential savings of up to 47% for drivers who travel fewer than 10,000 miles annually. Metromile also provided additional services like car health monitoring, theft recovery, and driving insights through its mobile app. The company went public via SPAC in 2021 but struggled with profitability and was ultimately acquired by Lemonade in 2022 for its technology and customer base.
IPO Status
Metromile went public in February 2021 through a merger with INSU Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol MILE. However, as a public company, Metromile struggled with growth and profitability challenges in the competitive auto insurance market. In July 2022, Lemonade announced its acquisition of Metromile for approximately $500 million in stock. The acquisition was completed later in 2022, and Metromile ceased to exist as an independent public company. Lemonade integrated Metromile's pay-per-mile technology and customer base to launch its own auto insurance product, leveraging the telematics capabilities and regulatory licenses that came with the acquisition.
