What you drive could matter

Your car can be described in many ways—color, number of doors, year—but when it comes to insuring it, you’ll need to know the make and model of your vehicle. The make is the brand (Ford, Chevrolet, Audi, etc.). The model is the specific type of car you’ve selected like Focus, Silverado, or Q5. So, your make and model might be a Ford Focus, Chevy Silverado, or an Audi Q5.

Some makes and models are more expensive to repair than others. That’s why all insurers, including Root, need that information to offer a quote. The good news is that with Root how you drive is more important than what you drive.
