Root’s FAQs
What if I’m a bad driver?
Root isn't the right fit for everyone. Our models don't work with every situation, so we may not offer you a quote after the test drive. That just means you could save more with another carrier, and we don't want to stand in the way of your saving money.
What qualifies me as a good driver?
Braking, speed, turns, times of day, miles driven, and driving routes are all considered when calculating your quote. You basically just need to follow the rules of the road and be mindful of other drivers when you're behind the wheel.
How will I know I’ll save money with Root? How much can I really save?
You won't know until you do the test drive it depends on your driving skills and habits but many of our customers have saved hundreds off their previous rate. Only one way to find out.
Before making any final decisions on your insurance company, it is important to learn as much as you can about your local insurance providers, and the coverages they offer. Call your local insurance agent to clear up any questions that you might have. Questions to consider asking include, "What is the best coverage plan for me/my family/my situation?" "What are the minimum coverage requirements in my state and what form of coverage do you recommend?" "Do you guys offer any bundle discounts if I take out both my auto insurance and home insurance with you?" and "What is the average rate of insurance quotes you guys offer?"
