Why Clearcover Matters for Independent Agents
Clearcover was founded in 2016 in Chicago with a straightforward mission: use technology to reduce the cost of auto insurance for drivers who deserve better rates. By keeping overhead low and underwriting data-driven, Clearcover is able to offer highly competitive pricing for preferred auto risks — without the bloated expense structures of legacy insurers.
For independent agents, Clearcover is a valuable addition to the carrier portfolio because it competes on price in a segment — preferred personal auto — where clients are especially price-sensitive and likely to shop. When Clearcover quotes are competitive, they win. And when clients stay because of fast claims and easy digital management, retention follows.
