Root partners with The Zebra to offer real-time auto insurance quotes to shoppers, agents

The deal broadens Root’s enterprise distribution footprint, strengthens its agency channel, and targets high-intent shoppers with a faster quote-to-bind process.

The integration enables eligible shoppers to receive real-time Root quotes on The Zebra, then move directly to Root to customize coverage and buy policies.

Independent agents can generate instant quotes in their existing workflows, then use Root’s agent portal to finalize applications and bind policies in about three minutes.

Root entered a technology partnership with The Zebra to expand distribution of personalized auto insurance through The Zebra’s marketplace and agent network.
