BUYER BEWARE
BUYER BEWARE: Using the Jerry App to find the best insurance rates opens a pandora box of whip ass. To use it, you have to give the app permission to access your Google maps data. Jerry uses your driving history from the past two weeks, so even if you've had a clean DMVR for 5 years, think again... READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS! If your insurance rates keep rising despite a clean DMVR, apps like Jerry might be the culprit

Hi there, we want to clarify a few important points. Jerry does not access your Google Maps data or driving history without your permission. Our feature, DriveShield, allows users to track their driving through an optional telematics program. If the score is favorable, and only then, it can be shared with a carrier if it qualifies the customer for a discount. This feature is completely optional and requires explicit opt-in. It is not required to compare or purchase insurance. We understand that rising insurance rates are frustrating. Unfortunately, higher premiums are an industry-wide trend right now, driven largely by increased repair costs and broader market conditions. Jerry is a licensed insurance agent, which means we do not set prices ourselves. Insurance rates are determined by each carrier based on their own underwriting models and long-term rating factors such as claims history, location, vehicle details, and overall market data. We’re happy to explain in more detail how Jerry works and how to make sure you’re getting the most value from your coverage. We’re not able to reach out directly based on this review, but if you contact us at [email protected], we’d be glad to help.
