The Jumpstart Promise | Jumpstart Earthquake Insurance

The Jumpstart Promise:
You'll be covered, no questions asked.

We believe in relationships. We believe in access. We believe in simplicity and transparency. We promise to provide everyone with an affordable product that gets money in your pocket when you need it most.

What makes us different?
A parametric approach.

Traditional disaster insurances have confusing claims-adjustment processes. And payments can take months—or even years—to get into your hands. We know that the faster money gets into the hands of people during crisis, the easier it is to keep living life.

Jumpstart insures you through a parametric approach—which insures policy holders against the occurrence of an earthquake by paying a set amount based on the quake intensity, rather than based on the cost of damage in a traditional earthquake policy.

I chose Jumpstart because it offered me coverage that fit my needs and the process was easy and the price was right.

If there's an earthquake, you know there's going to be cash in your bank.

If an earthquake hits in our area, I want to be able to know without any question that those first few days are handled, and my kids never feel afraid.

Jumpstart was perfect for us. Within our price range. And enough to cover us as a bridge if something should happen. They don’t require documentation. Just respond to their text and you get the money you need.
