Root: Better car insurance

We think there is a better way to sell car insurance—a way based on fairness and modern technology. That's why we're using artificial intelligence to help good drivers save money. A lot of it. So far, our customers are saving an average of $1,187 a year. (There's a reason we have been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, Wired, The Washington Post, and Fortune Magazine...) *See disclaimers below*

How are we different?
• We give you a price based primarily on how you drive. Better driver = bigger savings. Because you're more than your age and credit score.
• We don't make you pay for bad drivers. Since we don't insure the 30% of people that cause most of the accidents, you don't have to subsidize them.
• Our insurance was built to live in the same year you do. Which means it lives on your phone, not in your glovebox.

To join Root, just DOWNLOAD the app, burn through the 47 second SETUP, and start DRIVING! We’ll ping you with your personalized quote in a few weeks.

We'll even cancel your old policy for you and your card is in the app. Boom. Welcome to the future.

Amazing pricing
Ryne N.

I switched from progressive and still am saving over $85/month for better coverage


Crappy way of doing things
Godsogk

I don’t think I was given a fair chance. I rode with a lot of people who drive stupid and it went on as a score of my driving. I could only dismiss the first one and none of the rest of them. Then it tells me I got a better deal with someone else. Guess I did. Thanks??


Renewal
Pony Express Fist

I was extremely happy with root as the quote they gave me was excellent compared to others. However, now that my six-month premium is due for renewal they increased my price for no reason. Keep in my mind I’ve had no accidents or traffic tickets. I don’t understand why when my previous insurance company would do the opposite and give me a discount for being a good driver. I’m not asking for a discount, but come on why jack up my price. They hooked me with a good price just so they could cash in with the renewal policy. Smh be careful guys.


Best of the Best
Raghumfm from hyderabad

I used to pay $135 per month to other insurance provider, but now my insurance is $91.50 per month. And I paid for 6months and saved additional $140. In addition, I got better benefits as roadside assistance plus with less deductible on collisions and comprehensive damages. Excellent.... try... Love it.... Raghu N


Scam
Ninaross7383

It’s a scam they promise you 25 to get a quote , you go through the 2 week process then they tell you sorry you can get a better deal elsewhere and don’t give you anything my score was a 8 out of 10 .


Great App
Chinotwinky

App has consistently gotten better and better. More functionality. More stable.


So ridiculous
Safe Drives dont use root

I always drive carefully and haven’t had faults for years. As the customers like me, are contributing to the insurance companies. I got very good quotes from other insurance companies, but Root gives more than double. It’s so ridiculous, I wasted time to install this app and participate the program.

It’s BS
wright997

I had a perfect 10/10 driving score and my rate was $275/month. I pay 198 right now. All those ads that say I pay $65 a month with root are lies!!!!


Absolutely awesome
Zaezaezaezaezaezaezae

I’ve never had such an easy experience with something like this - download the app and drive. If you’re good, you’ll save money like me. I totaled my vehicle in Maryland (a no fault state, so basically you’re at fault no matter what) about 2 years ago. Every insurance company gave me insane rates since then. Root saved me $140 a month.
