The app uses your actual driving behavior to give you the low-cost rate you deserve.

I work for a car insurance company. They gave me a monthly rate of just over $500. I didn’t take that and went with Geico for about $240 a month. Root gave me a quote for $105...I’m being rated based on how I actually drive.

Absolutely life changing! I was paying almost $300 dollars...for my insurance and I downloaded Root and they cut my bill in half. I now pay $106!

As a new driver this is the cheapest insurance I have found! I love it. Would recommend to anyone!
