OVERVIEW
Info Icon
Lemonade offers a highly-rated app driven by artificial intelligence that allows you to manage your policy digitally. In addition to auto insurance, Lemonade offers home, renters, condo, pet and life insurance, making it more of a potential one-stop-shop than Clearcover. In addition, Lemonade is a Certified B Corporation, and the company's Giveback program donates excess premiums to charities of policyholders’ choice. Lemonade doesn't have agent offices, and some claims can be settled using an AI chatbot.
Root may be worth a look as a choice for careful or low-mileage drivers. This insurance company requires all potential policyholders to complete a test drive via a mobile app in order to be offered an insurance quote. Your rates are based entirely on how well you drive, as tracked by Root’s advanced mobile app. Like Clearcover, it relies heavily on its digital experience, and it folds discounts into the premium as opposed to listing them separately. Root also offers home and renters insurance to those who have its auto coverage.

Clearcover car insurance review

According to Bankrate’s analysis of Clearcover, drivers who want to save money on their car insurance premiums and who value a digital experience might consider Clearcover. On its website, the insurer advertises savings of up to $1,200 per year, but keep in mind that this will be different for everyone and savings are not guaranteed. Clearcover only writes six-month auto insurance policies, which may be well-suited for some drivers.

A relatively new company on the insurance scene, Clearcover aims to use AI technology to streamline auto insurance and save customers money in the process. The company earned a 3.0 Bankrate Score for its auto coverage, which indicates that it offers an innovative product and has strong digital tools. However, its lack of availability in some states and absence of third-party ratings held it back from earning a higher Bankrate Score.

When it comes to car insurance coverage, Clearcover offers a few types of optional coverage, like alternate transportation coverage, which covers the cost of renting a car, taking public transportation or using a rideshare app if your vehicle is in the shop. Rideshare coverage is also available.

Clearcover may be one of the best insurance companies if you are looking for a new and innovative carrier, but it is only available in 19 states. However, the company says it will be expanding into more states in the future.

Pros and cons of Clearcover car insurance

Clearcover may offer affordable car insurance options to tech-savvy policyholders. While it may be a good option for some drivers, it’s still worth considering the possible pros and cons of using Clearcover to insure your vehicle.

Clearcover car insurance cost

At Bankrate, we look at data from Quadrant Information Services to determine average rates. However, rate data for Clearcover is not available. That said, the average cost of car insurance nationwide is $223 per month for full coverage, according to Bankrate’s analysis. Minimum coverage car insurance costs an average of $67 per month. Keep in mind that Clearcover only writes six-month auto policies, so knowing the national monthly average cost of a policy can be a helpful benchmark.

Insurance is a personalized product so the price you pay depends on unique factors like your vehicle, driving history, location, age and more. Because of this, your exact insurance premium will likely vary from the national average cost of car insurance.

What are real-life customers saying about Clearcover?

High rate raises, year after year
"I joined a couple years ago because the rates were great. Every policy renewal since then, the rates have gone up. For the upcoming renewal, the increase is double the previous increase. Got some rate quotes and discovered that CC is now triple the cost of others. I also discovered they have no financial rating - not good."

Good value for your premium
"I have been with Clearcover for a year and plan to renew. In terms of cost they offer the best value. I haven't had to file a claim but they seem to have higher customer ratings compared to the other insurance companies."

Premium more than doubled upon renewal
“I just received a renewal notice. I paid $286 for the last six months. For the next six months they are asking for $632. Huge increase. Everything is the same, no tickets, no accidents, same address, same car etc. I'm going to start shopping around and comparing. Was I just getting too good of a deal for the last 5 years? That increase is more than double.”

Verified Badge Icon How we got these ratings

In collaboration with market research firm SliceMR, Bankrate surveyed over 3,000 insurance customers nationwide from 2024–2025, asking policyholders to rate their insurer's cost, coverage, customer support and overall experience on a five-point scale. Bankrate and SliceMR collected and analyzed these customer ratings, along with website analytics and responses to three open-ended questions regarding customer experience. Responses are based on individual policyholders' policy details and personal experience, and therefore cannot be verified for accuracy. Users received an incentive for their feedback. All ratings are unedited and have not been reviewed or approved by insurance carriers. User-generated ratings are separate from carrier Bankrate Scores — which are calculated based on our proprietary methodology — and may not match.

Methodology

Bankrate Score

Our 2025 Bankrate Score for auto insurance considers key variables that our insurance editorial team determined impact policyholders’ experiences with an insurance company. These factors include a robust assessment of each company’s cost of coverage, product availability, financial strength ratings, online capabilities and customer and claims support accessibility. We grouped these factors into three essential categories — cost and ratings, coverage and savings, and support — which we then weighted in a tiered approach. 

Each category was assigned a metric to determine performance, and the weighted sum adds up to a company’s total Bankrate Score — out of 5 points. Our scoring model provides a comprehensive view, indicating when companies excel across several key areas and highlighting where they fall short.

50% Cost & ratings
 
30% Coverage & savings
 
20% Support
 
  • Tier 1 (Cost & ratings): To determine how well auto insurance companies satisfy these priorities, our team analyzed quoted premiums from Quadrant Information Services (if available), as well as any of the latest third-party agency ratings from J.D. Power, AM Best, Demotech and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). 
  • Tier 2 (Coverage & savings): We assessed companies’ coverage options and availability to help policyholders find a provider that balances cost with coverage. Additionally, we evaluated the discount options listed on each company’s website.
  • Tier 3 (Support): To encompass the many ways an auto insurance company can support policyholders, we analyzed avenues of customer accessibility along with community support. This analysis incorporated additional financial strength ratings from S&P and Moody’s and factored in a company’s corporate sustainability efforts.

Tier scores are unweighted to show the company's true score in each category out of a possible five points.
