An Insurance Company That Doesn't Care About Their Policy Holders
They don't contact you, they just increase the policy price. I have a 2022 Ford that I bought 18 months ago. It has 12,256 miles on it. They increased my insurance from $215 to $275 a month. I do have a speeding ticket and I backed into someone causing a quarter-sized dent on the fender. I'm 72 years old. My sister has two cars and her insurance isn't as high. When you're on a fixed income and also have to pay for a lot of medications, and they keep increasing the insurance, soon I won't be able to drive because I won't be able to afford the insurance.

GEICO, a subsidiary of the Berkshire Hathaway Group, is the third-largest U.S. insurer by market share. In addition to auto insurance, GEICO sells homeowners, renters, flood, travel, life, and business insurance, among other products. The insurer offers numerous car insurance discounts to help drivers save. For example, drivers who are accident-free for five years could earn 22% off premiums, and good students could earn 15% off. GEICO’s National Association of Insurance Commissioners complaint index score is below average, meaning it receives fewer consumer complaints than average.
Pros
Good rates for good drivers, seniors, and young drivers
Accident forgiveness available
A+ (Superior) financial strength rating from AM Best
Cons
High rates for drivers with certain violations, like DUIs
No rideshare or new car replacement coverage available

The fourth-largest U.S. auto insurer by market share, Allstate is available in all 50 states. The company has been in business for more than 90 years and also sells home, renters, and condo policies — so it’s a good option for those who want to save by bundling auto with another type of policy. Allstate also offers helpful optional auto coverages, like gap insurance and accident forgiveness. AM Best gives the company a high rating for financial strength, but Allstate has a higher-than-average number of complaints in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Consumer Complaint Index.
Pros
Ample opportunities for bundling discount

Lost Payment
Farmers uses a third-party service for internet payments. I used it and received a confirmation number, but the payment was never debited from my checking account. For the past six months, I thought I had car insurance, but I didn't. Now, it's going to cost me a lot to add to my new policy.

10 top regional insurers
Regional car insurance companies serve drivers in only a select number of states — not nationwide. But they’re still good choices for many people.
Since regional insurers serve fewer customers than national insurers, they’re often more available for customer service. Local insurance companies may also have more expertise on your area and on which risk factors and local laws will affect your car insurance rates. And importantly, regional insurers can often offer more affordable rates than large ones.
Here’s a closer look at 10 of the top regional insurers in the country.

The coverage is fine, but the insurance just keeps going up and up, and I haven't had any accidents.

Payment Issue
It's not providing me with the option to pay monthly, and it's challenging to pay the entire premium all at once.

Insurance as Usual
I paid them every month without making any claims. However, after the policy ended, they increased the price by almost $50 per month. I'm tired of insurance companies doing this.

Their customer service is horrible and slow, costing us hundreds of dollars extra in added rental car fees due to their delays.

Cheapest car insurance companies
A variety of different factors affect how much you’ll pay for car insurance, including your driving record, age and gender, and location. Insurers also consider things like your vehicle’s age, condition, and safety features, as well as whether it’s been in an accident. In many states, insurers also consider your credit history when determining rates.[2]
Your coverage level will also play a big role in how much you pay. Every state except New Hampshire requires liability car insurance, so you’ll need to meet your state’s minimum requirements. This covers bodily injury and property damage, but you’ll likely want to purchase full-coverage car insurance to protect yourself and your vehicle more thoroughly.[3]

How much does car insurance cost?
Full-coverage car insurance costs have increased by 15% since the start of 2024, according to Insurify’s latest report. Insurify’s data science team projects rates to increase by a total of 22% over the year. These dramatic increases are largely due to record losses ($33.1 billion) that insurers suffered in 2022.
In 2023, insurer losses were cut in half to $17 billion but were still large enough to cause rate increases. The increasing costs of vehicle repairs and new cars are the main causes of these record losses.
Another factor is the increase in severe weather events, which leads to increased claims in affected areas. The cost of insuring cars keeps rising, so insurers continue to raise rates to account for it. As of now, the average full-coverage car insurance premium in the U.S. is $202 per month, or $2,422 per year.
How to choose the best car insurance company
Finding the best car insurance company for you and your needs is easier said than done. Use this checklist when starting your search:[4]
Figure out what coverage you need. Think about how you use your car, how often you drive, if you’re in traffic frequently, and how much coverage you can afford. Consider if other family members will use the car, especially if you have any teen drivers or young drivers.
Research car insurance companies in your area to get an idea of what’s available. Ask friends and family about their car insurance companies and whether they’re satisfied with them. It’s also a good idea to look up what additional coverages and services each offers in case you need to expand your coverage.
Compare quotes. This is the most important step. Make sure you compare car insurance quotes from all the companies you’re considering. Every insurer determines rates differently, so it’s important to know which one fits your unique driving profile best.
Check customer reviews, ratings, and financial stability. It’s important to have an insurance company that will be easy to work with if you need to file a claim. Look for a company with a strong AM Best financial strength rating, a large network of customer service agents, and a good mobile app.
Pick the best policy. Don’t just choose the policy with the lowest rates. Choose a company that combines affordable rates, reliable customer service, and the insurance coverage you need. You should review your car insurance policy and company each year to see if any other companies better suit your needs.
