Clearcover is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a car insurance company with a frictionless digital experience and rates that don’t break the bank. The insurer is also known for quick, same-day claims compensation, while other insurers may take weeks.<\/p>
However, Clearcover is only available in certain states and offers limited coverage options. Also, Clearcover’s small presence compared to insurance giants like GEICO, State Farm, and other top cheap car insurance providers may raise concerns, and it has more customer complaints than average according to third-party sites. <\/p>
That said, the company has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), which could reassure customers who are on the fence.<\/p>
Clearcover launched in 2018 in California. One of its investors is American Family Ventures, the investment arm of American Family Insurance.<\/p>
The company costs less than major companies like Geico and State Farm. Its coverage options are fairly basic, but there are a few great add-ons. One unique option is alternate transport coverage, which will pay for a rental car, rideshare services or public transportation if you can’t drive your car after an accident.<\/p>
Clearcover sells car insurance in 19 states:<\/p>
Clearcover sells only six-month car insurance policies. The company believes that it can provide the most accurate pricing by evaluating your driving record twice a year rather than annually. This also means that if you cause an accident or get a speeding ticket, you\u2019ll pay an increased rate sooner.<\/p>
