USAA has been a nightmare to deal with. It took three separate phone calls to customer service to set up auto-draft! And even then, they simply withdrew whatever dollar amount they decided was appropriate for that payment, even though it was twice the amount! Their explanation is that there was some sort of shift in the policy price and/or they took out twice the amount to compensate for a "missed payment," even though I'm set up on auto-draft! Absolutely horrible company.

Why we picked this company

Hugo offers the cheapest liability-only insurance for Georgia drivers, on average. The state requires you to buy both bodily injury and property damage liability coverage, and this minimal coverage could work well if you have an older, low-value car or you’re a very low-mileage driver.

Pros
  • Very cheap rates

  • Low number of customer complaints

  • Flexible payment options

Cons
  • No full-coverage policies

  • Limited coverage options

  • Not rated by J.D. Power among top insurers in the Southeast

  • Insurify’s editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Georgia to assess which offers the best rates, coverage options, customer service, and savings to drivers. The analysis prioritized competitive rates, 24/7 customer service, low-mileage discounts or programs, safe driving discounts, homeownership discounts or bundling options, and specialty or supplemental coverages.

How to get the best car insurance in Georgia

If you’re shopping for car insurance in the Peach State, here are some tips to help you find the best possible coverage for your needs.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/665da91bf7/comprehensive-coverage.svg

    Know your coverage options

    Many people opt for full-coverage car insurance, which usually includes liability insurance, comprehensive insurance, and collision insurance. But you don’t necessarily need that much coverage.

    The state of Georgia requires bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, while other coverages are optional.[2] So you might opt for the minimum state coverage if you drive an older car and relatively few miles.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/0a6ece6bd6/insurify-icons-auto-green-96x96_013-family.svg

    Read customer reviews

    Checking out customer reviews often provides insight into how policyholders view the insurance company you’re considering. That said, it’s important to still weigh out other factors, like rates and your specific needs.[3]

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/243feaaa23/contact-us-96x96-orange_033-rating.svg

    Research company ratings

    Several independent rating services assess insurance companies, including J.D. Power, AM Best, and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Research how different insurers fare to get insight into customer satisfaction ratings, financial stability, and customer complaint trends.

    Compare discounts

    Many insurance companies offer discounts that lower car insurance rates. Discounts often include savings for bundling, multiple cars, and good grades. But offerings can vary widely by insurer. Compare discounts carefully to find the best fit, or ask an insurance agent for help.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/fa11c1fe75/comparison-website.svg

    Compare car insurance quotes

    Once you’ve researched company reviews, ratings, and discounts, it’s time to compare quotes. Insurance prices vary by company, so this step is crucial to find the best deal on coverage. Use insurance company websites or an insurance-comparison tool to simplify the quote-comparison process.
