If you’ve decided to get the Root car insurance app, setting it up is super easy. Here's a quick overview as well as how I overcame some blips during my signup process. 1) Go to the Root Car Insurance site.Go to the Root site by clicking this link. (Please use that one instead of going straight to it. The link gives us both $25 if you drive well enough to get a quote from them.) 2) Sign up and download the app.You can get an iOS or Android version. 3) Add your personal info.Input a few basic details about yourself, including your driver license info. The app has a feature that is supposed to capture your driver license info via the phone camera. It did not work despite repeated attempts on my iPhone, but entering my DL number took like ten seconds, versus the five minutes I spent trying to use the photo option. Root is crazy smart. It’ll automatically know your vehicles. They do not ask for any kind of payment info up front. 4) Add drivers.Add more drivers if you’ll be insuring others in your household. 5) Give permissions.Enable Location, Motion & Fitness, and Cellular Data if you’re using iOS, like I was. Android users, you’re on your own. Word to the wise, if you get stuck like I did and the app does not take you to the right place to enable Motion, you’ll need to go to: Settings>> Privacy>> Motion & Fitness Then, enable Fitness Tracking. If Root appears in the list below, enable it. If it doesn’t, close settings, then close the Root app, and go back into the Motion & Fitness section again. If it’s there, enable it. If it’s not, open Root again and check for the prompt. I had to do a little back and forth to get it to play nice. 6) Drive.Root will track you in the background and monitor how you drive for a few weeks. If you’re a good driver, Root will provide you with an insurance quote, which will hopefully save you some cash.
