Metromile opens East Coast office in Boston

BOSTON, March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Metromile announced today that it has opened a permanent office in Boston, Mass., growing the company from San Francisco to the East Coast. The office is located at 60 South St. next to South Station in the Financial District neighborhood of Boston.

"The city of Boston was built around the idea of revolution and has long supported and fostered diverse talent, technology and innovation – things we invest in daily at Metromile as we work to empower car ownership," said Dan Preston, CEO of Metromile. "We're excited about the opportunity for East Coast expansion and know that Boston's highly talented workforce will help fuel our steady growth."

Metromile launched in 2011 and operates its headquarters in San Francisco, Calif. with more than 60 employees. The new Boston office will add at least another 10 employees with a strong focus on engineering including data science, iOS engineers and backend engineers.

Metromile offers revolutionary pay-per-mile car insurance for the modern driver. Metromile uses technology and a data-driven approach to deliver lower premiums by the mile and personalized data to help customers manage their cars more efficiently and cost-effectively. Metromile's per-mile insurance is currently available in California, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington but is rapidly expanding to other states in 2015. In January, Metromile and Uber announced an innovative partnership to provide pay-per-mile auto insurance for drivers who use Uber's rideshare platform. Metromile began offering the insurance product to Uber driver partners in California, Illinois, and Washington in February and will add more states in the coming year.
