Money hungry, not loyal to their CUSTOMERS
Reviewed in Delaware on November 2025
I've been with State Farm since 1959—that's 66 years. How much money do you think I've paid into this company? Your prices are way too high for us seniors and your loyal customers. I've had all my cars and home insurance with State Farm all these years. I have always owned three or four cars insured at a time. I am retired and live on my Social Security and pension. I am shopping the marketplace for better-priced insurance. The internet is bombarded with all kinds of bargains. Insurance is just a scam that I've put up with for years.

Why we picked this company

GEICO is one of the largest insurers in the country and brings long-term financial strength to its range of auto insurance offerings. Since GEICO has 16 auto insurance discounts — the most of any major insurer — Maryland drivers could save significantly if they qualify for multiple discounts. Drivers can save up to 23% for an airbag discount or anti-theft system, up to 22% for being accident-free for five years, and up to 25% for insuring multiple vehicles.

Pros
  • Offers accident forgiveness

  • Optional 24/7 emergency roadside service available

  • Fewer than expected number of complaints with the NAIC

Cons
  • Below-average customer and claims satisfaction scores from J.D. Power

  • Doesn’t offer rideshare or new car replacement coverage

  • No 24/7 phone customer service

Safeco, a Liberty Mutual company, offers extremely competitive and affordable average car insurance rates to Maryland drivers.

Drivers could also save up to 30% with RightTrack, Safeco’s usage-based safe driving telematics program. The insurer also offers cash back for being claims-free and a diminishing deductible if you maintain a clean driving record.

Pros
  • Available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

  • Accident forgiveness available

  • Offers new car replacement and rental car reimbursement coverage

Cons
  • Below-average customer satisfaction score for mid-Atlantic region from J.D. Power

Why I Chose to Leave USAA After 17 Years
Reviewed in California on November 2025
USAA insurance company is great for filing claims quickly and easily. They pay claims promptly and are super helpful. However, when it comes to truly caring about their members, it's disappointing. I have credit cards, bank accounts, my car loan, and car insurance all under USAA. Personally, after battling cancer and health issues, getting USAA to show compassion for my situation was nonexistent. They only seem to care about active duty members, which is the only group they will help in a financial crisis. For that reason, I am really disappointed in USAA as a whole. I think for the money, it's not worth it. There are other companies that will insure my car just the same for cheaper. I don't need to carry the USAA brand and overpay when they won't do anything for a member going through something catastrophic.

Why we picked this company

USAA is a reputable national insurance company offering auto, home, and other insurance to active-duty military personnel, veterans, and their families. The insurer has the cheapest average rates for liability-only and full-coverage insurance in Maryland. USAA also has high industry ratings from J.D. Power for customer and claims satisfaction. Given that more than 330,000 veterans and military service members live in Maryland, USAA’s numerous discounts and coverage options make it a great choice for eligible drivers.

Pros
  • SafePilot usage-based telematics program rewards good drivers with a discount of up to 30%

  • Highly rated mobile app

  • Offers optional 24/7 roadside assistance

Cons
  • Availability is limited to military members and their families

  • No 24/7 live customer service support

  • Accident forgiveness is limited to drivers who are accident-free at USAA for five years

  • Our editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Maryland to assess which ones offer the best rates, coverage options, customer service, and savings to drivers. We 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 Maryland

To get the best car insurance in Maryland, start by getting a clear picture of how you use your car, what you can afford to pay, and what discounts you can take advantage of. Here are a few important factors to consider to help you find the best cheap car insurance.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/d7333ddf2e/car-and-driving-96x96-orange_046-car-accident.svg

    Consider how much coverage you need

    Maryland requires all drivers to have a minimum amount of liability insurance. If you finance or lease a car, your lender will likely require you to also carry collision and comprehensive car insurance that covers damage to the vehicle itself.[2] Considering factors like your budget, driving record, and vehicle age and condition can help you decide what optional coverages make sense, too.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/a6cd5b8958/banking-96x96-green_036-piggy-bank.svg

    Think about your budget and cash flow

    Reducing your coverage and choosing a higher deductible are two common ways to save money on car insurance. But if you opt for those changes, ensure you can afford to pay for repairs after an incident. For example, if you own your car and have only liability insurance, you’d have to cover repairs out of pocket in an at-fault accident. Although higher deductibles will lower your monthly premiums, you’ll need to pay that cost up front after an incident.

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

    Shop around and compare quotes

    Shopping around with different companies, getting at least three quotes, and comparing car insurance costs are the Insurance Information Institute’s top recommendations for how to save money on car insurance.[3] These strategies will also help you find the best car insurance. You’ll learn more about coverage options and discounts while researching companies, making it easier to find the best fit.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/edb628e3ac/insurify-icons-auto-blue-96x96_013-family.svg

    Read reviews from policyholders

    Finding out what current or past policyholders have to say about an insurance company can help you decide on the best choice for you. Insurify has collected more than 55,000 user reviews for 76 insurers, and Trustpilot is another popular consumer review website to explore. Industry scores and financial ratings from agencies like J.D. Power and AM Best can also tell you about an insurer’s customer service and ability to pay out claims.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/75872bbafd/money-96x96-green_033-magnifying-glass.svg

    Figure out what discounts you could qualify for

    Learning about common auto insurance discounts can help you find a good car insurance company and save you money in the process. Insurers often offer discounts for low-mileage drivers, good students, accident-free drivers, paying your premium in full, bundling policies, insuring multiple vehicles, and installing safety features, among other things.

Average cost of car insurance in Maryland

The average monthly cost of car insurance in Maryland is $185 for liability-only insurance and $275 for full coverage. Maryland drivers pay considerably more than the national average, which is $100 for liability coverage and $177 for full coverage.

Maryland’s average rates have been higher than the national average for several years, but the gap widened in 2024 as average rates in Maryland climbed. A spike in traffic fatalities in 2024 could partially explain the increase, according to Insurify’s car insurance report.
