Root® and Carvana® Bring Car Buyers Auto Insurance — Coverage in 3 Clicks™

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Root, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROOT), the parent company of Root Insurance Company (“Root”), the leading insurtech carrier, and Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), the industry pioneer for buying and selling used cars online, today announced the next evolution of the Root and Carvana partnership that brings an industry-leading, seamless insurance process to the online car buying experience.

The launch of Carvana Insurance Built with Root delivers an elevated customer experience made possible through a deep integration that pre-fills key customer information so that a customer can skip data entry and jump directly to evaluating quotes and customizing coverage. This fully embedded product experience—from quote to payment—happens entirely within the Carvana checkout process. Teams from both Carvana and Root have worked for months to build this bold technology platform. An early iteration involved 24 screens in the customer experience flow—that experience is now just three straightforward steps.

“Adding car insurance should be as easy as any other aspect of online shopping,” said Alex Timm, Co-Founder and CEO of Root. “Instead of starting a lengthy application or questionnaire elsewhere, Carvana customers can now easily insure their new vehicle on the same platform from which they purchased it. Together, Carvana and Root have created the easiest, quickest insurance experience, allowing Carvana customers to buy the right vehicle and feel confident they have the right coverage immediately.”

Carvana and Root have revolutionized the online used car buying and car insurance experiences respectively. Customers have been conditioned to expect difficulties in these purchases, and through this partnership, the challenge and inconvenience of finding and purchasing insurance has been removed from the car buying process.

“Carvana has always been committed to simplifying and improving the car buying and selling process to benefit our customers, so supporting our customers’ insurance needs was a natural next step for us,” said Ernie Garcia, Carvana Founder and CEO. “We are excited to enhance our customer’s car buying experience with this very seamless, transparent insurance experience in partnership with Root.”

Carvana Insurance Built With Root is a testament to a customer-focused and technology driven product experience, and is available in 33 states.
