(ii) the coverage type is based on one or more amount of time thresholds in which the customer vehicle is to be driven and the particular type of usage data is used to determine one or more actual amounts of time in which the customer vehicle is driven.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the coverage type corresponds to liability insurance.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending, by the first software application executing on the computing device, by the one or more processors, a prompt to the second software application executing on the mobile computing device of the customer, the prompt to take a photo of an odometer of the customer vehicle; and

analyzing, by the first software application executing on the computing device, by the one or more processors, the photo at one or more of the second software application executing on the mobile computing device or a backend server to determine a set of numbers from the photo,

wherein the set of numbers indicates a mileage of the customer vehicle.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first software application executing on the computing device, by the one or more processors, an indication of permission to begin tracking the particular type of usage data corresponding to the coverage type for the customer vehicle.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first software application executing on the computing device, by the one or more processors, a purchase transaction of a calculated insurance policy quote from the customer.

11. A server comprising: one or more processors; and a memory storing a first software application including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server to:

receive a coverage type, of a plurality of coverage types, for a customer vehicle;

cause a second software application executing on a mobile computing device in conjunction with one or more sensors to track a particular type of usage data of the customer vehicle based on the received coverage type for the customer vehicle, wherein a first type of usage data is tracked for a first coverage type and a second type of usage data is tracked for a second coverage type, the first type of usage data being distinct from the second type of usage data;

receive, from the second software application executing on the mobile computing device, the particular type of usage data;

generate one or more new insurance policy quotes for a customer associated with the customer vehicle corresponding to the coverage type for the customer vehicle based upon at least the particular type of usage data; and

transmitting, to the second software application executing on the mobile computing device, the one or more new insurance policy quotes to cause the second software application executing on the mobile computing device to display the one or more new insurance policy quotes in a user interface of the mobile computing device.

12. The server of claim 11 , the memory storing further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server to:

cause a prompt to be displayed on the second software application executing on the mobile computing device of the customer, the prompt to input the coverage type for the customer vehicle.

13. The server of claim 12 , wherein the prompt to input the coverage type for the customer vehicle includes, as selectable options, (i) personal vehicle insurance and (ii) commercial vehicle insurance.
