Direct provider (no middleman on most plans) insured by an AM Best A-rated carrier, with six coverage tiers.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked August 31, 2026.
Our verdict
About $156 a month on average, more than month-to-month rivals, buys drivers a direct administrator whose contracts are insured by an AM Best A-rated carrier. That structure earns the grade. An active federal class action, filed in 2025 over alleged systematic claim denials, keeps it from going higher, so use the 30-day money-back window to read the exclusions.
Skip it if $80 to $185 a month is more than you want to pay, or a pending claim-denial lawsuit rules it out.
