The 7 Best Car Insurance Companies (2021)

by Mark Fitzpatrick Reviewed by licensed agent Brandy Law updated May 10, 2021

We've rated many of the biggest insurers in the country and provided an editor's rating (out of five stars) to show how they stack up against each other.

The best car insurance company for you will provide an on-demand customer experience for policyholders in a time of stress. Although some drivers may want to pay extra for premium customer service, we found that many individuals can get the best of both worlds: great service and cheap rates.

Below, we highlighted the best insurers that are widely available across the entire country based on these factors. Our research found that seven companies stand out.

But the best insurance company for you could also depend on your driving background and preferences, so we've also analyzed which company is best based solely on individual factors, like driving history. Read on to see our picks for the best companies, and read our in-depth reviews to make sure they're right for you.

Why trust us

Our ratings of the best insurers are largely based on research into two core factors: cost and customer service.

To analyze insurance costs, we collected hundreds of thousands of quotes from across the country for various sample drivers.
To assess the quality of customer service, we surveyed consumers, tracked official complaints lodged with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and incorporated feedback from third-party market research companies like J.D. Power.

The best car insurance companies in your region

The best car insurance company in your area or for your situation may not always be the large auto insurer. We have identified three great insurance companies with a more limited reach — NJM, Auto-Owners and Erie.

NJM is only available in Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania but receives five stars out of five from our editors for low rates and exceptional service.
Auto-Owners, available in 26 states largely in the middle of the country, and Erie, available in the Northeast, Midwest and Appalachian regions, both received four and a half stars, combining affordable policies with strong service reputations.

The five-star scale is a reflection of both the quality of an insurer's service and its affordability, so the insurers with the best rating get you the best value for your money.
For additional detail, we've also noted each company's standout quality (either service or affordability, as determined by our analysts), its J.D. Power auto insurance satisfaction rating and its AM Best financial strength rating.
Our top seven auto insurance companies are NJM, USAA, Amica, Farm Bureau Insurance, Erie, Auto-Owners and Geico. All provide a good balance of affordability and customer service, but our table also notes which of these is its outstanding quality.

Read our methodology to see how we decided whether to include an insurer on the list.

No single insurer is best for everyone. Below, we've highlighted the best insurers for customers seeking a certain type of experience.

The best car insurance companies based on your driver profile

We rated our best overall insurers based on a combination of great customer service and affordable rates.

However, shoppers value different qualities in an insurance company.

Many drivers will obtain great rates with these insurers; indeed, your rates may be even cheaper than our averages. But other drivers might actually find these insurers expensive. Given how the insurance industry works, you won't know which company provides the best value until you get quotes yourself.

To help you get started in the process, we've provided our recommendations of insurers for customers looking for a specific type of experience, ranging from those who highly value customer service to those who have high-risk driving histories.

Finally, if you want to shop for a car insurance company from scratch, we've also provided a guide to finding the best car insurance company for you.

The best car insurance companies

Amica: Best overall company, editor's pick
Allstate: Best customer service
Erie: Best for affordable policies
Root: Best for young drivers
State Farm: Best for drivers with an accident history
Nationwide: Best for people with bad credit
USAA: Best for active military members and veterans
Esurance: Best shopping experience

The good:

Strong customer service reputation

The bad:

One of the more expensive major insurance companies

The most important factor to consider when shopping for insurance is the service experience. Your car insurance claim could come with substantial financial ramifications, and you will want to guarantee that the claims process is handled smoothly.

Allstate ranks as the best car insurance company for general customer service and for when drivers have to make a claim.

Among qualifying insurers, 47% of Allstate customers said it had excellent customer service overall. This was bested only by USAA, which is available only to its members. Allstate and State Farm ranked at the top for claims satisfaction, another key metric given that an effective claims process is the most important type of service offered by an insurer.

Rank	Company	Percentage who say customer service is excellent	Percentage extremely satisfied with most recent claim	Average customer satisfaction

Thirty-eight percent of current customers chose Allstate as their car insurance company specifically because of its customer service, the highest of any company in the survey.

However, strong customer service comes at a price. The insurer rated as one of the more expensive in our sample; a policy costs almost 51% more than the national average for full coverage ($3,585).

As with all insurers, rates can vary widely depending on the driver. Shoppers looking for strong customer service should get a quote with Allstate and balance the pros and cons against other providers.

Alternate best car insurance company for customer service: Farm Bureau Insurance

Drivers should not always look for major national insurance providers. Local insurers can often provide an equal or better customer service experience due to more personalized one-on-one attention.

The state insurance affiliates of the American Farm Bureau Federation are usually a great choice for shoppers seeking great customer service. Measured by a complaint index — the rate at which consumers complain about an insurer, adjusted for its size — Farm Bureau Insurance affiliates often rank among the best companies for any given state.

Best car insurance company for affordable coverage: Erie

We can't guarantee it's true for everyone, but on average, Erie is the cheapest auto insurer out there.

The good:

The cheapest rates and good service

The bad:

Service is limited to 12 states and the District of Columbia

Price is important. With many insurers offering similar levels of customer service and types of coverage, the rates should definitely factor into your decision. If you're shopping for the cheapest possible car insurance, we found that Erie has the most affordable rates on average.

Across different coverage levels, it frequently came out as the insurer of choice for those looking to save money.

For example, if you have a valuable car and want to protect it on and off the road, you'll probably want a full coverage policy. From our research on major insurers, we found that Erie's full coverage policies are 32% cheaper than the national average.

Type of policy	Erie average annual premium	National average annual premium
Full coverage	$1,612	$2,372
Minimum coverage	$390	$876

{"alignsHorizontal":["left","right","right"],"alignsVertical":[],"columnWidths":[],"data":[["Type of policy","Erie average annual premium","National average annual premium"],["Full coverage","$1,612","$2,372"],["Minimum coverage","$390","$876"]],"footnote":"","hasMarginBottom":true,"isExpandable":true,"isSortable":false,"maxWidth":"1215","minWidth":"100%","showSearch":false,"sortColumnIndex":0,"sortDirection":"asc"}

Similarly, drivers looking for a minimum coverage policy — one that only meets the liability insurance minimums required by their state — got the most savings with Erie on average. Its policies, adjusted for the minimum requirements in each state, were 56% cheaper than the national average.

Unfortunately, Erie Insurance is only available in 12 states and the District of Columbia. Customers looking for cheap insurance outside these states should look to some of our alternate recommendations below.

Alternate best car insurance companies for affordable minimum coverage: Farm Bureau Insurance, American Family and State Farm

Given how restricted Erie Insurance is in availability, individuals looking for cheap car insurance could also look to Farm Bureau Insurance, American Family and State Farm. All three ranked among the most affordable for a minimum coverage policy.

Farm Bureau Insurance is available wherever an affiliate of the Farm Bureau Federation does business, while State Farm is offered almost anywhere in the country.

Best car insurance company for good or young drivers: Root

An unconventional option for those confident in their driving ability.

The good:

Big potential savings for those who do well on a test drive

The bad:

Limited coverage options compared to other insurers
Average customer service reputation

Drivers are usually rewarded for having an excellent driving record, but individuals in high-risk demographics may find that their insurance rates are still extremely high. For example, drivers in their teens and early 20s pay more for car insurance than most other drivers, even if they're exceptionally safe on the road.

Root Insurance Co. is relatively unique within the car insurance industry because its rate calculations are derived almost entirely from measuring driving behavior.

Drivers who grade well based on select driving behaviors, such as braking habits and speed, can get big savings with Root compared to a traditional insurer.

Young drivers are the shoppers who should investigate Root Insurance. Since young drivers are statistically more likely to get in an accident, the demographic as a whole is penalized by insurers. Root offers the opportunity to prove you're a safer driver than your peers.

However, there are some risks and downsides associated with Root.

According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, it receives customer complaints at a higher rate than the national median, so drivers aren't likely to get excellent customer service.
Its policies also come with fewer bells and whistles than policies through other insurers, as Root lacks gap insurance and other traditional coverage options.

Alternate best car insurance company for young drivers: State Farm

If you are a young driver, then you may not want to endure having an insurer track your driving habits. In that case, and if you are still looking to save, you should consider shopping with an insurer that tends to have the lowest rates for young drivers.

The cheapest widely available insurer for young drivers is State Farm.

We should note that, on average, Erie is actually the cheapest insurer for drivers aged 18 to 25. However, as we mentioned, Erie has limited availability across the country.

Young drivers looking for affordable rates should always compare prices across at least three insurers.

Best car insurance company for drivers with an accident history: State Farm

If you've been in an accident and are looking for savings, we recommend starting your shopping with State Farm.

{"bannerDisclaimers":[],"buttonColor":"primary","buttonIcon":"lock","buttonText":"Get a Quote","cloudinaryImageName":"referral_logos\/us\/insurance\/statefarm-2","description":" If you've been in an accident and are looking for savings, we recommend starting your shopping with State Farm.

The good:

Minimal penalties for an accident history

The bad:

Doesn't offer accident forgiveness

If you already have a recent accident in your driving history, insurers are going to charge you higher rates than they would otherwise. But they won't all penalize you to the same degree.

Our analysis found that State Farm raises rates less than any other company when drivers have an at-fault accident in their recent history.

Using rates pulled from all over the country, we found that State Farm only increased prices by 24% per year after our sample driver got into an accident. Below we list the insurers with the smallest and largest rate changes.

Company	Clean record	One accident	Percentage increase
Erie	$1,612	$2,010	25%
State Farm	$1,623	$2,020	24%
Farm Bureau Insurance	$1,742	$2,325	33%
Geico	$2,017	$3,194	58%

Rate change is after an at-fault accident causing $2,000 in property damage.

One downside to State Farm is that, unlike some other major insurers, it does not offer accident forgiveness. This is a feature — either standard or earned — in which the insurer wipes the first at-fault accident from the driver's record for insurance pricing purposes.

Best car insurance company for drivers with bad credit: Nationwide

A poor credit history can result in expensive auto insurance. Nationwide won't raise your rates as much as other insurers.

{"bannerDisclaimers":[],"buttonColor":"primary","buttonIcon":"lock","buttonText":"Get a Quote","cloudinaryImageName":"referral_logos\/us\/insurance\/nationwide-4","description":" A poor credit history can result in expensive auto insurance.

The good:

Very minor rate penalties for a poor credit score

The bad:

Base rates are higher than average

Unless the practice is banned in your state, your credit score can have a major impact on the price of your auto insurance policy. Every insurer calculates its own credit-based insurance score and uses it to adjust its base rates. In most cases, drivers with poor credit could be charged almost double for car insurance compared to individuals with an excellent credit report.

Among major insurers, Nationwide penalized drivers the least for having a below-average credit score when compared to rates for drivers with an excellent credit score.

Our analysis shows that Nationwide rates only increased by 59% when the same driver went from having a very good credit score to a poor credit score.

The three insurers that penalize drivers the least and the most for poor credit

The good:

Cheap rates
Strong customer service reputation

The bad:

Only military members, veterans and their families are eligible

Year after year, USAA combines the best of both worlds: It's one of the most affordable auto insurance companies and has one of the best customer service reputations in the industry.

If you're an active-duty military member or veteran who is eligible for a USAA policy, it should be one of the first insurers you shop with, given its low rates and quality service.

Among insurance policyholders surveyed by ValuePenguin, 62% of USAA customers said customer service is excellent, while 78% were extremely satisfied with their most recent claim. These were the highest approval numbers — by far — of any company surveyed.

Beyond its service and rates, USAA also offers discounts that cater to the lifestyles of service members. The company has a vehicle storage discount that can save policyholders up to 60% off their premium if their vehicle is stored in a secure location while not used, meaning deployed policyholders can get coverage at a discount.

And if your vehicle is garaged on a military base, you can obtain a discount of 15% on the cost of comprehensive insurance.

The good:

An educational and intuitive online shopping experience

The bad:

Average to poor customer service in its offline service experience
Higher-than-average rates

As more consumers shop for insurance online, the ease and functionality of online quote tools are more important than ever.

Esurance ranks as having the best website experience among major insurers, according to J.D. Power's 2019 Insurance Shopping Study.

The Esurance website includes a feature called Coverage Counselor, which can guide you through the process of selecting appropriate coverages and their limits. From there, it's easy to enter these coverages into the Esurance quote tool and see prices for standard, economy and minimum coverage car insurance.

Once you become a policyholder, Esurance also has a mobile app for policy management and other services, such as submitting photos for claim estimates.

Esurance doesn't have a perfect online experience. Although it claims you'll be able to compare rates with competitors side by side, you'll have to go to another insurer's website to see how its rates stack up. If shoppers want to compare auto insurance quotes, they're best served by visiting each insurer individually to get a true estimate.

Beyond the online experience, Esurance is a run-of-the-mill insurer. Like its parent Allstate, its rates were more expensive than the average car insurer for our sample driver.

And it received poor marks for customer satisfaction with claims: It was one of four insurers (of a total of 25) to receive only two out of five stars for claims satisfaction, according to J.D. Power.

How to find the best car insurance for you

Ultimately, the best car insurance for you will combine a variety of factors.

It will be a company that balances customer service and price, making it the best value for your situation.
It will be a company that has all the coverages you want: basic coverages you need and maybe even some unique coverages to fit your situation.
It won't necessarily be a major name. Many of the best insurers for you might not be advertised as much as the big insurers you've heard of and may only operate locally.
It will be financially stable, ensuring you won't have to worry about whether claims are paid due to financial issues at the company.

Read on to see how to use all these factors to guide your purchase, or click an individual factor above to skip to that section.

How to find the best insurer for customer service

A policyholder's relationship with their insurer is a unique one. Ideally, they'll barely want to interact with their insurer at all, as that usually means something unfortunate has happened.

But when you do file a claim with your insurer, you'll want to have the best service possible to ensure your financial exposure is covered in a fair and timely fashion.

To get a handle on the quality of a given company's customer service, we recommend:

Browsing our editor ratings and reviews
Looking at J.D. Power survey results
Doing your own research at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners

The first place we recommend looking is our editor recommendations. Our ratings (out of five stars) are an estimate of insurers' overall quality — combining service, value and coverages — but customer service weighs greatly in the final score.

If you're looking to get even more data on the customer service process, you can also look at J.D. Power's U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study for this year. J.D. Power surveys customers to measure the quality of the claims process — the most important part of an insurer's customer service — by overall satisfaction, claim servicing, settlement of the claim and other factors.

If these sources aren't enough and you want to get some hard data on the service experience, you can check out the National Association of Insurance Commissioners website.

There, you can search for companies by name and measure their service by a customer complaint index, which indicates how often policyholders lodge official complaints about an insurer compared to the national median.

How to find the best insurer for affordability

If you could get the same car insurance coverage for a cheaper price with a different insurer, wouldn't you do it? You may be surprised by how often this scenario could apply to you.

And beyond the base price of a policy, you may qualify for a variety of discounts that could change the calculus of which insurer is the cheapest.

Prices: You don't always have to pay more to get more

Insurers all use their own methods for calculating the price of a policy for a given driver. This means it's sometimes possible to get a cheaper insurance policy with very little downside.

For example, as we noted in our best companies section, all insurers penalize you for having an accident on your driving history. But not all insurers penalize you to the same extent. In other words, someone with an accident history is treated uniquely by each insurer, given that company's calculation of the risk associated with that particular driver.

The insurer will also have unique calculations for the type of car, where the driver lives, their credit history and a variety of other factors. For this reason, you should always shop across at least three insurers to get a sense of the range of prices available to you. Our recommendations for the best insurers are a good place to start.

Discounts: Insurers may have more savings available than you think

Insurers charge drivers differently depending on factors they can't change — age, driving record, location and more — but the companies often provide customers a variety of ways to save on their base rate because of steps drivers have taken to lower their risk.

Discounts typically fit into four categories: driver safety, driver status, policy and vehicle. Below, we've listed some of the most common discounts you might find across major and regional insurers alike.

Discount category	Discount	You get savings for...
Driver safety	Defensive driving	Taking a certified defensive driving course
	Accident-free	Having no recent accidents
	Low mileage	Driving less than the average driver
Driver status	Good student	Getting good grades
	Student away	Your child lives away from their covered vehicle
	Military	Serving or having served in the military
	Professional organization	Being a member of a qualifying trade or alumni organization
	Senior	Being 55 or older
Policy	Multi-policy bundle	Buying multiple policies with the same insurer (e.g., homeowners insurance)
	Multi-vehicle	Insuring multiple cars with the same company
	Early signing	Buying before your current policy expires
	Paid-in-full	Paying your entire premium (six months or a year) up front

Car insurance discount guide

Always be sure to follow up with your insurer and check that all discounts are applied to your quote, as estimates from online quote tools may not apply to all available policies. Only compare rates between companies after you've applied all available discounts.

How to find an insurance company with coverages that fit your needs

All the best insurance companies offer the same standard coverages — some of which are required by law — that offer protection against the cost of personal injury and property damage on the road.

Liability insurance (for bodily injury and property damage)
Comprehensive insurance
Collision insurance
Personal injury protection
Uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance

Beyond these standard coverages, insurers may offer some of the following unique optional coverages or features to appeal to specific types of policyholders. None of these are required by law and may not fit your needs, but if they do, it may be worth going with an insurer that has the coverage over one that doesn't.

Accident forgiveness: Your first at-fault accident won't affect your driving record.
Vanishing deductible: The deductible on your comprehensive and collision insurance gradually declines for each year you're accident-free.
Mechanical breakdown coverage: Insurance covers the cost of repairing gradual wear and tear to the vehicle as a substitute for a car warranty from the dealer.
Ride-share insurance: For those who use their personal vehicle working for ride-hailing companies, this insurance fills the coverage gaps in the insurance policies provided by those companies.
Gap insurance: If you lease or finance your car, this covers the difference between the amount you owe your lender and the value of the car in the event of a total loss.
Emergency roadside assistance: Covers the costs of expenses to assist you when your vehicle breaks down, such as towing, battery service, flat-tire service and fuel delivery.
Rental car reimbursement: Covers the cost of a rental car if your vehicle is being repaired in the shop after a covered accident.

In summary, almost all insurers offer the standard coverages we listed. And many — but not all — offer the additional coverages, too. However, outside of standard coverages, the extent of features an insurer offers may differ from state to state.

Always browse an insurer's website and quote tool, or talk to a customer service representative, to make sure you understand all the coverages available to you.

The best car insurance company for you might be a local company

We've made our recommendations above based on insurers that are widely available throughout the country. But we've often found that some of the best and cheapest insurers for drivers are locally based.

You want a financially strong insurer so you know your claims will be paid

An insurance company provides you with financial protection when you're facing exorbitant costs. The last thing you want is an insurer that can't cover you because it can't cover its own costs.

The best way to quickly assess an insurance company's financial soundness is through a financial strength rating from professional analysts. We recommend the AM Best financial strength rating. AM Best, a credit rating agency, independently assesses the ability of insurance companies to pay their claims and rates them on a traditional grading scale from A++ to D-.

We've provided AM Best financial strength ratings for all our reviewed insurers on the editor's table above. Almost all received an A- or higher, indicating an exceptional ability to pay claims.

However, some smaller, local insurers may not have the same financial firepower. If the insurer you're looking for isn't on our list, research it online to see if AM Best has rated its financial strength to give you peace of mind that the company backing your insurance coverage is on sound footing.

Frequently asked questions

Who has the best car insurance?

ValuePenguin's top-rated national insurers are USAA, Amica, Farm Bureau and Geico. In addition, we recommend regional insurers NJM and Erie in the Northeast and Auto-Owners in the center of the country. They have the best combination of affordable rates, stellar service and varied coverage options.

How do I find the best car insurance?

To find the best car insurance, we recommend that drivers look at both national insurers and smaller regional companies. Consider an insurer's price, customer service ratings and coverage options, and compare the company with other insurers available in the same area.

How can I find the best car insurance for me?

People at different stages of their lives have different needs when it comes to insurance. A younger driver may be focused on the lowest price, while an older driver might be more concerned with good customer service or coverage options.

Methodology

ValuePenguin assigned its editor's rating for insurance companies based on customer service, affordability, coverages offered and the shopping experience.

An insurer was not included in the best companies list for this year unless it does business in at least five states. If companies received an N/A for J.D. Power claims satisfaction or AM Best financial strength rating, it's because they were not rated.
