With New Program, Indie Agents Can Start Selling Root Insurance in 24 Hours

Insurtech car insurance provider Root said it has started a 24-hour agent appointment program to allow independent insurance agents to complete onboarding and begin selling policies in as little as one day.

Root Insurance said traditional insurance carrier onboarding often takes weeks, but its 24-hour agent appointment program compresses this process into a single-day, fully digital experience to give independent agents faster access to revenue opportunities.

Root said it has appointed more than 7,500 agents since launching. About 2,400 agents have been added this year. More than 15,000 independent agents are appointed with Root and 4,000 agencies are approved to sell Root policies, the insurer said.

Qualified agents can fast-track their access to Root by requesting an appointment online and completing the accelerated vetting process within 24 hours.

Root Inc. reported a fourth quarter 2025 net income of $5.3 million compared with net income of $22.1 million for the same period in 2024 but ended the year with record net income of $40.3 million.

Now operating in 36 states, Root said independent agents are its fastest growing segment.

The company announces first quarter 2026 results on May 6.
