Root Leans Into OEM Partners With Targeted Discount in Georgia

Root’s Georgia private passenger auto filing introduces two new discounts and reworks several rating factors while keeping overall premiums flat across a 45,020 policyholder book generating $175.2 million in written premium.

The headline additions are a Current Information Discount and a Partner Discount tied to affinity distribution. On paper, the partner structure is broad, spanning four groups: automobile OEMs, distributors and resellers, financial institutions, and other partner entities.

In practice, only Group 1—automobile OEM partners—receives a price benefit. That group carries a 0.90 factor across all major coverages (BI, PD, collision, comprehensive, medical payments, UM/UIM, rental, and roadside), translating to a 10% discount. The remaining groups are neutral, with factors set at 1.00, meaning no pricing impact.

Bottom Line: Carvana falls into the neutral group, with no discount applied.
