Your driving record directly affects your car insurance
rates. The best way to keep your car insurance rates low is by keeping a clean driving record. You can save even more money on car insurance by using the Jerry app. Too many drivers pay more than they need to for car insurance because they don’t take the time to shop around and compare rates. That’s where Jerry
comes in—all you have to do is pick from a list of quotes the app gathers on your behalf. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it can save you over $800 a year on car insurance.
