Reviews of Root

They will raise rates for zero reason beware.

I’ve had it for two years. Started at $400 for 6 months. Every renewal it has gone up. I’ve had no tickets and never filed a claim what so ever with them and I am also not tracked anymore so the reason for the increase is literally just because they wanted to increase the rate. Now they want to charge me 875 for 6 months. I’m searching for a new insurance company as I type this. I’m not paying for this trash company anymore.

UPDATE: I have switched to progressive and am now paying $386 for 6 months. Root has a track record as you can see from all the comments from everyone else on here. They offer a low rate at first then will steadily increase your rate for zero reason. They respond to your reviews trying to absolve them self's from being in the wrong but they are the ones in the wrong. I would highly suggest using them for the first 6 months then switching at the first sign of an increase. Don’t fall for the rate increase and trust me they will end up increasing your rate. Also don’t fall for their chat GPT responses to these reviews. They are doing their best to cover up their shady company. I have a perfect driving record there is absolutely no reason for my policy to increase more than double with zero incidences on my record and zero claims with them.

Response from developer

Update: We're sorry to hear you decided to leave, but we understand why you may choose another insurance company if you can find a lower rate elsewhere. Thanks again for your time with us. Original Response: Hi, GamingGenius1. We understand that with such safe driving habits, a rate increase is disappointing. To offer the right levels of coverage, we need a clear picture of what driving in your area looks like, and that means looking at other factors like weather and medical costs. These are two reasons why some drivers could experience rate increases. We appreciate your time with us as a customer and we'll be here to help if you need anything.
