6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of:
(i) the coverage type for the customer vehicle is based on one or more distance thresholds to be traveled by the customer vehicle and the usage data is used to determine one or more actual distances traveled by the customer vehicle, or
(ii) the coverage type for the customer vehicle is based on one or more amount of time thresholds in which the customer vehicle is to be driven and the 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 for the customer vehicle corresponds to liability insurance.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the mobile computing device, a prompt to take a photo of an odometer of the customer vehicle.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the mobile computing device, an indication of permission to begin tracking the particular type of usage data.
10 . A mobile computing device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile computing device to:
track, in conjunction with one or more sensors, a particular type of usage data of a customer vehicle based on a coverage type, of a plurality of coverage types, 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;
transmit, to a computing device, the particular type of usage data;
receive, from the computing device, one or more insurance policy quotes for a customer associated with the customer vehicle corresponding to the coverage type for the customer vehicle, wherein the one or more insurance policy quotes are generated by the computing device based upon at least the particular type of usage data; and
display the one or more insurance policy quotes in a user interface of the mobile computing device.
11 . The mobile computing device of claim 10 , the memory storing further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile computing device to:
display a prompt to input the coverage type for the customer vehicle.
12 . The mobile computing device of claim 11 , 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.
13 . The mobile computing device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile computing device to:
transmit, to the computing device, an indication for beginning to track the particular type of usage data.
14 . The mobile computing device of claim 10 , wherein the usage data is used to determine one or more of: a number of times the customer enters or exits the customer vehicle, a total idle time for the customer vehicle, a total driving time for the customer vehicle, a number of times the customer vehicle enters and exits a particular location, a frequency of driving events, a severity of driving events, an average miles per gallon the customer vehicle achieves, a carbon footprint the customer vehicle achieves, a location of the customer vehicle, a number or percent of times the customer vehicle surpasses a speed limit, a crime statistic along a travel route, a weather event along the travel route, or an accident report along the travel route.
15 . The mobile computing device of claim 10 , wherein at least one of:
(i) the coverage type for the customer vehicle is based on one or more distance thresholds to be traveled by the customer vehicle and the usage data is used to determine one or more actual distances traveled by the customer vehicle, or
(ii) the coverage type for the customer vehicle is based on one or more amount of time thresholds in which the customer vehicle is to be driven and the usage data is used to determine one or more actual amounts of time in which the customer vehicle is driven.
16 . The mobile computing device of claim 10 , wherein the coverage type corresponds to liability insurance.
17 . One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing executable instructions for creating one or more new insurance policy quotes for a customer associated with a customer vehicle that when executed, cause a mobile computing device to:
