How we make money
Jerry is a licensed insurance broker that partners with major national providers—think
Progressive
,
Nationwide
, and
Allstate
—and a whole range of regional insurance companies. Like other brokers, we make money through commissions.
When you purchase an insurance policy through Jerry, the insurer pays us a small fee. This commission never influences our reviews, recommendations, or the guidance we offer.

Jerry’s promise to you

Our DataLock Guarantee™ means that we won’t sell your data—ever. We’re committed to responsible data practices like bank-level security and data encryption, so you won’t get any mysterious calls from other brokers after shopping with Jerry.
You’ll only hear from us—no one else. And only when you ask.
