Toggle Auto: Actually modern car insurance

It seemed to us that the way many auto insurance companies do auto insurance is pretty outdated. And by outdated, we mean like a tan sedan with macramé seat covers and a CD player that was only driven by a grandmother on Sundays. So, we decided, just like we did with renters insurance, that it was time to modernize it for a new generation. Why not make the whole thing smarter, more streamlined, easier, more convenient and more customizable to your needs and your life? Why not fully leverage the power of the internet? And help you save money in the process. We can do this! We have the technology!

Fresh as farmers market produce!

When you compare car insurance the Toggle^® way against the old-school way, you’ll quickly see it’s quite simple. You just need to enter your name, address, date of birth and when you think you want your coverage to start. Then, bam – you get a quote! No need to answer a slew of questions. It takes less than a minute – perfect for the on-demand age that we live in. This is the way it’s built, but of course there’s more to love than just that!

• Comprehensive & Collision. All this stuff about separating collision and comprehensive coverage is complicated, confusing and, frankly, kind of a headache. So, we combined them to simplify everything. Duh. Why didn’t someone think of this years ago?

• Pet Passenger^TM. Hey, pets are part of the family. They also love road trips. So, if your dog, or cat, or turtle, or parakeet, or boa constrictor likes to ride shotgun, Toggle On^SM Pet Passenger^TM, and they have coverage.
• Side Hustle^® Auto. If your car is central to your hustle, you don’t have to worry. We’re top notch when it comes to covering your rideshare and/or food delivery side hustle. If you Toggle On^SM ‘Side Hustle Auto’ we extend all the protection offered under your personal auto policy to help cover gaps in coverage that may exist with the company you are driving for. And we also cover you against loss of income when your vehicle is in the shop for repairs if you happen to get into a fender bender. We even cover damage to your phone! Because we know that is your conduit to income.¹
• Temporary Ride Coverage. The old way of helping when your car is on the sideline is for an insurance company to hook you up with a rental car. That seems limiting. So, we hook you up with cash instead. That’s freeing! You’ll get a daily stipend to spend however you want (choose $30 or $50). Perhaps you want to rent a scooter or take the bus and pocket the difference. We’re not here to supervise how you get around. It’s up to you.
