Root Insurance Expands to Minnesota, Offering Personalized, Driver-Based Rates

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Root, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROOT), a leading technology company powering insurance solutions and the parent company of Root Property & Casualty Insurance Company, has announced the availability of Root Insurance in Minnesota. The insurer now serves drivers in 35 states, extending its innovative approach to auto insurance to over 4 million registered drivers in Minnesota and covering more than 77% of the U.S. population.

Root was founded on the idea that car insurance rates should be based primarily on driving behaviors, not demographics. By leveraging advanced, mobile-first technology and data science, Root delivers a personalized, seamless, and fair insurance experience to drivers. Root uses smartphone technology to measure safe driving habits, placing driving behavior at the forefront of its pricing models. By making driving performance the top factor in determining rates, Root empowers safe drivers to save more.

“We’re excited to bring an easy, technology-driven, car insurance option to Minnesota, offering drivers a new option for fair, affordable prices that reflect their individual driving habits,” said Alex Timm, Co-Founder and CEO of Root. “Minnesotans now have access to a smarter, more convenient insurance experience based on how they drive.”

Minnesotans can now access Root’s innovative, customer-focused insurance through the Root mobile app or at joinroot.com, with the ability to sign up in under a minute. Drivers then complete a test drive over a few weeks, during which the app measures habits like focused driving, smooth braking, and gentle turning. Safe drivers could see significant savings with the flexibility to choose coverage levels and manage claims, all through the app.

Root partners with tech-forward companies as well as independent insurance agents, offering Minnesotans multiple convenient ways to access its services.
