Here’s why Josh Damico, Head of Insurance Operations, says shopping with Jerry is the best way to buy
I’ve worked in insurance for 18 years—here’s why Jerry is the best way to buy car insurance today
When you talk to customers every day for nearly twenty years, you learn a lot about what they need. Customers need agents who can demystify insurance, walk them through confusing processes, and get them cheaper rates—fast.
Here’s another lesson from my time in the insurance industry: at most brick-and-mortar agencies, agents don’t care as much about what the customer needs once they’ve made their sale.
Jerry does insurance differently. Here are three game-changers that Jerry’s using to remove frustration from the insurance shopping process:
No more feeding information over the phone: At a regular insurance agency, a lot of the insurance shopping process involves giving information piece by piece over the phone to an agent who feeds it into an application. Jerry’s app-first technology cuts that step out: you create a profile directly in the app and get quotes immediately—and if you need to call our agents, they’ll already have all the info they need from your profile.
Jerry helps you cancel your policy: Most people don’t know how to cancel their old insurance—but most agents at traditional companies don’t care about answering that question once they’ve made their sale. At Jerry, we help the customer through the whole process: you can go into the app, pick out the policy you want to cancel, and get the correct cancellation form sent directly to you.
Jerry helps customers avoid rate hikes: Sometimes, other agencies know that customers’ policies drastically increase—but there’s nothing they can do. At Jerry, we give customers the option to reshop whenever their policy renews and get a less expensive policy if they want to.
The bottom line: Jerry’s fixing bugs that the rest of the insurance industry isn’t bothering with to optimize the shopping process for ordinary customers.

Jerry saves the average customer over $800 per year
As Head of Insurance Operations at Jerry, I oversee a team of 100+ licensed insurance agents who help drivers find savings on car insurance every day. Here are some of the actual quotes that Jerry users have found in the last month.
Our team analyzed 283 user reviews from May 30, 2022, to January 15, 2023, to see why customers love the Jerry app. Here’s what we found:

One of the questions I hear most often from our customers is, “How does Jerry actually work?” If you’ve never bought car insurance through an app before, here’s what you’ll need to do:
Download the app: You’ll start by selecting the type of insurance you’re looking for. You can shop for car insurance alone or combine it with
Build a driver profile: You’ll answer a series of eight questions that cover your vehicle, your driving habits and history, and personal information like your age, location, and phone number.
Get your quotes: Using this information, Jerry will analyze real-time price estimates from any insurance companies that fit your profile (e.g. companies that sell policies in your state). Getting quotes takes about 45 seconds, and you’ll see options for different levels of coverage: Basic, Standard, and Preferred.
Make the switch: Once you’ve reviewed your coverage options, you’ll be able to select the quote that fits your needs and switch in the app. Jerry’s agents will help you assemble all the necessary paperwork and even help you cancel your old coverage once the new policy is active.
I always remind customers that insurance quotes are highly personalized. They’re based on your unique driver profile, so don’t be worried if you’re not able to find huge savings!
Here are a few of my favorite tips for lowering car insurance rates:
More than insurance: other Jerry features that simplify car ownership
Some Jerry users find that they’re already paying the lowest available rate for their current policy. Even if you don’t find insurance savings, the AllCar™ app’s other features make shopping through Jerry worth it for most drivers.
PriceProtect™: If you purchase car insurance through Jerry—even if it’s identical to your current insurance—you’re eligible to
DriveShield™: Jerry’s telematics program gives users instant access to discounts on products and services and allows you to track your driving habits.
GarageGuard™: Get regular service and maintenance reminders, recall notices, and repair tips and estimates for your vehicle based on make, model, and age.
Never miss out on savings: One more advantage of using Jerry to simplify your car ownership costs? By turning on the automatic reshop feature, you’ll get new quotes every six months so that you can switch when a new low rate becomes available.
Like other insurance brokers, Jerry earns money through commissions paid by insurance companies when users switch to their services through Jerry. These commissions allow Jerry to make money, but they don’t raise the cost of coverage—you’ll pay the same amount as you would if you bought a policy directly from the insurance company.
Are online insurance quotes legit?
+
Online car insurance quotes obtained from a reputable company or broker are legitimate—but they’re only as accurate as the information they’re based on. Whenever you request quotes, make sure that the information you provide is as accurate and comprehensive as possible.
Remember that all insurance quotes are estimates and can differ from the final price of a policy.
Does Jerry cost money?
+
No. There are never any charges or subscription fees for using Jerry to find auto insurance quotes, compare auto refinance offers, track your driving habits, or get repair and maintenance tips.
Does the Jerry app have a phone number?
+
Yes! Jerry’s customer service number is 1-833-445-3779. Customer service representatives are available seven days a week between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST.
