Root Car Insurance: Good drivers save money 999 views

What if good drivers didn’t have to pay for bad drivers? Welcome to Root Insurance. We think the old way of pricing car insurance is unfair, so we developed a mobile app that measures driving behavior. By removing bad drivers from the equation, we’re able to keep our rates low. Good drivers save up to 52%, an average of $1,187 a year. There's a reason we’ve been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, Wired, The Washington Post, and Fortune Magazine. (See disclaimers below.) A higher score on the test drive means you pay less. Test drive? Just download the app and sign up in less than a minute. Then drive your car around like you normally would for a few weeks—that’s the test drive. The Root app does the rest. Your driving score is the #1 factor that goes into your auto insurance quote. Other companies only base your rate off of things like credit score, age, gender, and ZIP code. But Root is a progressive company—we base rates primarily on how you drive, not who you are.
