Why Good Driver Club Can Cost Less
Good Driver Club is NOT auto insurance. Members continue carrying the liability insurance required by law. Instead of paying a traditional collision and comprehensive premium that is gone whether or not a claim happens, members participate in a transparent community-sharing model. This different financial structure is one reason many responsible drivers explore Good Driver Club.
