October 6, 2020 – Dartmouth, N.S. – CAA MyPace™, Canada’s only pay-as-you-go auto insurance payment program, is now officially available to consumers in Nova Scotia. First announced in Ontario in May 2018 by CAA Insurance Company, the program puts choice and control back in the hands of consumers. CAA MyPace will become available to drivers in New Brunswick on December 1, 2020 and on PEI on February 15, 2021.

The program is helping modernize insurance across Canada by giving motorists the power to monitor how much they drive and pay for auto insurance based on that mileage. The program will be of most benefit to low-mileage drivers who drive less than 9,000 kilometres per year.

“CAA MyPace has been generating a great deal of interest in the market, and we’re excited to offer this new program to the Maritime provinces,” said Matthew Turack, president, CAA Insurance Company. “Drivers now have access to an insurance option designed to meet the needs of their individual lifestyles and puts choice and control back in their hands.”

The program is ideal for those who are driving less amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, or the Monday to Friday public transit commuter who leaves their car at home, retirees who like to visit family on weekends, or any motorists that drives under 9,000 kilometres.

CAA MyPace is simple and easy to use:

• Drivers enroll as they would with any other CAA Insurance policy.
• A telematics device is plugged into the vehicle and connects to a mobile app or web portal allowing motorists to track how much they are driving and pay for auto insurance based on that mileage.
• Motorists start with a base rate and are charged in 1,000-kilometre increments, which are reloaded automatically.
• Customers receive a notification to let them know when they are close to the end of a 1,000-kilometre increment, making it easy to monitor usage.

Consumers in Nova Scotia can now get a quote for CAA MyPace through their insurance broker, or by visiting www.caamypace.com, by calling 1-877-552-5717 or visiting a CAA retail store.
