Open the App Store on iPhone or the Play Store on Android and search for your insurance company's name. Download the one with their official logo — watch out for look-alike apps.

Sign in with your policy number

~15s

Open the app and tap "Sign in" or "Register." You will need your policy number (on your insurance card or declarations page) and an email address.

Save your digital insurance card

~15s

Find the "ID card" or "Insurance card" screen. Take a screenshot and save it to your phone's Photos, or use the "Add to Wallet" button on iPhone so you can show it quickly at a traffic stop.

Set up automatic payments

~15s

In the Billing or Payments section, add a bank account or debit card and turn on autopay. Most companies give a small discount for automatic payments.

Learn the roadside assistance button

~15s

Most apps have a big "Roadside help" button that sends a tow truck to your GPS location. Tap through it once before you need it so you know where it is when you have a flat tire at night.
