Pay How You Move: hyper-personalized mobility insurance
Mobile telematics has opened up new business models like Pay As You Drive (PAYD) and Pay How You Drive (PHYD). UBI insurance allows insurers to charge based on each customer’s actual driving habits. But what comes next?
Pay How You Move enables customers to be covered when taking all types of transportation, such as bus, train, bike, car, scooter, and more. Insurance companies will offer a hyper-tailored premium based on the individual’s fluid mobility behavior:
- What modes of transportation customers are taking/using
- How much/how long (miles) customers are using it
- How safely customers are driving (behavior-based)
There are many features for insurers to build out a unique Pay How You Move offering, such as reward sustainable mobility behavior, monitoring CO2 emissions, reward safe drivers, covering physical injuries when using MaaS, covering loss/damage of property when using public transports, covering canceled train trips, etc.
A shift from Vehicle-centric to Human-centric
The fundamental principle behind Pay-As-You-Move mobility insurance is a shift from insuring the single vehicle towards covering an individual across multiple modes of transport.
Combining a human-centric approach with business strategy—rooted in data and analytics—is key to growth. According to Accenture, 89 percent of C-suite leaders acknowledge the value of embedding this combination at the heart of their business.
With the rise of shared mobility, increased focus on sustainable mobility, and a shift towards flexible workplaces, it is a perfect time for insurance innovators to further develop personalized and flexible insurance products that match these new mobility lifestyles.
The benefits of Pay How You Move
Insurer benefits:
- Increased customer acquisition. Insurers can expand their customer base from “car owners/single-mode insurers” to “mobility users”.

- Manage risk better. By understanding the complete mobility behavior of the customers, insurers can better manage risk on a per-person basis.
- Actively contribute towards sustainability. A better understanding of a customer’s complete mobility profile enables insurers to proactively encourage sustainable mobility (walking, biking, or public transports) while reducing exposure to risk.
Consumer benefits:
- Personalized pricing. Consumers enjoy personalized pricing tailored for their dynamic individual mobility behavior.
- Single policy management. Instead of having to manage multiple policies, customers can now have this personalized single policy that covers all of their mobility.
