ABOUT MILE STATION

I established and funded Mile Station in 2009 to do field research on using monthly audited-odometer insurance in Austin Texas. This ongoing research is made possible by the online availability in Texas of cents-per-mile insurance from the MileMeter Insurance Company in Dallas (www.milemeter.com).  Mile Station pays for miles of insurance for the cars of its research clients—ages 20-77[1]—seeking only minimum liability coverage. In return, clients bring cars to a Mile Station location for odometer readings at signup and six-months policy renewal. Clients also report odometer readings monthly by text message, email, or telephone, and, on request, submit photos of odometers by cell phone and email. This research has led into developing the teen-miles method.

[1] MileMeter Insurance’s minimum age is 18.
