Root Insurance Tracks Your Driving Over iPhone and Offers Significant Savings

If you’re a good driver, there’s a good chance you’re being penalized by the fact that many other drivers aren’t.

How to Get Your Free Driver Score from Root to See How Much You Can Save

It’s actually really simple to get going with Root and get an initial quote for car insurance that’s based on your driving skills. In less than a minute you can download the Root app and sign up. Here’s how to get started:

1. Download the Root app on your iPhone.
2. Open the app and follow the quick prompts to sign up for an account in ~47 seconds.
3. Give the app permission to access your GPS and motion sensor data so it can see how you drive.
4. Take a picture of the back of your driver’s license.
5. Confirm your name, address, and vehicle information.
6. Start driving.

The app automatically pulls most of the data it needs right from your driver’s license, so all you need to do is confirm it, and once you’re set up, it runs in the background, so you don’t need to worry about starting it up before you hit the road.

Just drive your car around like you normally would for a few weeks for your Root “test drive” that will factor in things like how hard you brake, how sharply you turn, how consistently you accelerate and decelerate, and during what times of the day you typically drive.

You can check how many days are left in your test drive right in the app, and once your test drive is completed, Root will show you your driving score and offer you an actual insurance quote that’s personalized just for you, which you can accept right within the app to sign up.

It doesn’t end there, either. Once you’ve signed up for Root, you can access lots of other benefits directly through the app, such as pulling up your insurance card, customizing your policy, filing a claim, or even requesting roadside assistance. No need to wait on hold to talk to a human agent — almost everything you need to do is right at your fingertips.

Root will even cancel your current policy for you, making it really easy to switch, and the app also continues to monitor your driving once you’re signed up, letting you earn achievements, and offering more savings down the road.
