! That is, if you want to use the top-rated insurance app on the App Store to make sure you have the best
car insurance
coverage for the most affordable price. Jerry uses groundbreaking AI technology to take all the hassles out of buying and holding a car insurance policy.
But what does groundbreaking AI technology really mean?
When you use other insurance apps, you have to input things that you would never know off the top of your head, like your VIN or the fine print of your existing policy.
On the other hand (the Jerry hand), Jerry only asks you a handful of simple questions that you don’t have to rifle through a filing cabinet or call your mom to answer. The whole process takes about 45 seconds (so, about as much time as it takes you to reheat a room-temperature coffee).
Once you’re done, Jerry pulls information on your existing policy and offers you competitive insurance packages from top insurers that provide equal or better coverage than your current plan.
When you find a price and a plan that you love, Jerry handles all the heavy lifting. That means no forms, no calls, and no hiding from pushy salespeople. Jerry will even cancel your old policy for you and help you get a refund.
Not only is the whole process incredibly easy and painless, Jerry is 100% free to use and the average Jerry driver saves a whopping $879 on insurance a year!
Read on to find out more about how Jerry is safe, easy, intuitive, and good for your insurance shopping.

FAQs

So, no other company sees my information when I use Jerry?

You got it. Any information you give us—from your name through to your existing policy details—stays in-house at all times. No third party will ever see or get their hands on your information.

Will Jerry change my policy without my knowledge or approval?

Never. Jerry will only adjust your policy at your request.

Will my credit be impacted by browsing through quotes Jerry gives me?

In states where a credit check is required to browse through insurance quotes, a soft pull is done only to compare your existing rate with potential alternatives, but your credit rating remains unaffected.
Only if you decide to apply for a policy will the insurer do a hard check on your credit, temporarily affecting your rating.
"A hidden gem! When I first saw this app, it seemed too good to be true. I was already paying a little over $200 a month for my car insurance and thought it wouldn’t hurt to see what Jerry could save me. To my shock, they found another reputable company that would save me around $116 for the same coverage I had on my previous policy. Not only that, but the app would do all the work of switching me over and helping me cancel my other policy! Can’t begin to tell you how happy I am to be saving money and I wouldn’t be cautious at all trying out this service. Extremely satisfied and look forward to what Jerry helps with in the future"— Jerry user
