Protection With Purpose. Service With Heart.

About John Gooden

Built for Clarity. Designed for Self-Starters.

At John Gooden Auto Protection, we believe that insurance should be easy to understand, accessible to everyone, and built around real life—not red tape. Founded with a clear mission to simplify the auto insurance experience, we provide straightforward coverage solutions, transparent pricing, and hands-on support tailored to each individual, family, or business we serve.

We understand that the world of insurance often feels overwhelming. Policy jargon, confusing fine print, and unpredictable costs have made it difficult for many drivers to feel confident in their coverage choices. That’s why we’ve reimagined the experience—cutting through the complexity to offer services that put people first. Whether you’re a daily commuter, a rideshare driver, a small business owner, or managing a growing fleet, we’re here to make sure you’re protected in a way that makes sense for you.

Our Story: From Frustration to Innovation

John Gooden Auto Protection was born out of a simple truth: too many people were settling for insurance policies they didn’t fully understand—and paying too much for coverage that didn’t truly serve their needs. Our founder, John Gooden, saw a gap in the industry: a need for transparent, flexible, and supportive insurance that treated customers as partners, not policies.

What started as a vision has become a growing team of professionals, advocates, and customer service specialists dedicated to changing the way people think about auto protection. We’ve built our approach from the ground up—based on clarity, fairness, and trust—so you can make informed decisions without pressure or confusion.

  • Personal Auto Coverage Plans: From state-minimum liability to full coverage with added features, our personal plans are customizable and easy to manage.

  • Business & Commercial Protection: For contractors, gig workers, and fleet owners, we offer scalable plans designed to protect your business on the move.

  • Rideshare & Delivery Driver Coverage: Our hybrid policies cover the unique needs of app-based drivers, offering protection whether the app is on or off.
