Commenting on the business expansion, Root CEO Alex Timm said: “Root brings unparalleled personalisation and control to the auto insurance market in California.

“Through the Root app or website, customers can sign up and customise their coverage to immediately see how some coverage options can impact deductibles and limits. Root’s app makes the process easy—including filing claims.”

Using the Root Insurance app or the website, the Californians can sign up for Root’s insurance. Root is a direct-to-consumer auto insurance product and doesn’t sell insurance through agents.

In order to receive a quote quickly, the drivers simply guess their annual mileage and submit their information. Root measures driving behaviour and uses it as the primary factor to decide rates.
