Unfair Treatment by State Farm
I have been with them for over 5 years. In the last few years, they have been overcharging me, claiming that I underpaid. I was dealing with liver cancer during this time, which made the situation even more challenging. My truck broke down, and after paying for a whole month, they only refunded me $20 when I took it off the policy. That was disappointing. I inquired about a discount for being 65 years old, but was told they don't offer that. In fact, they might even charge more. Meanwhile, other companies offer senior discounts. For a long time, I was paying over $600 a month.

A Royal Rip-Off
I had State Farm for over 50 years. I had one back-up accident which caused a dent in my fender. The damage to the parked car didn't seem significant, but I don't know the exact extent as they won't disclose it to me. I now suspect the damage was exaggerated. My insurance went from $79.00 per month to $119.00 per month. This rate includes both house insurance and coverage for my 2009 Scion. This was the only accident in all that time, and I didn't even get my car fixed! Over 30 years ago, my car was broken into at a movie theater and I claimed money for stolen jackets, CDs, and a blanket. If you ever need to use your insurance, they increase your rate unfairly. They collected premiums from me all those years without a claim, and when I finally needed it, they increased my rate. This is why so many people don't file claims when they could and should. It feels like a royal rip-off.

Looking for a Better Option?
I've been a good driver, so I really didn't have much interaction with them. However, when my bill increased from $170 to $251, I was puzzled. Especially when I kept seeing other companies advertising better deals. So, I'm out here looking for better options because I'm on a limited income and need something more affordable.

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.

The fourth-largest U.S. auto insurer by market share, Allstate is available in all 50 states.

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.

Insurance rates are out of control
I was a customer for about five years before I became disabled. I didn't have insurance or a vehicle for two years. When I bought a car and wanted full coverage, they quoted me $300.00 for my used BMW. I've never filed a claim and haven't had any tickets in the last twenty years. That's a third of my income. It's totally ridiculous.

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.

It started out okay. My six-month policy was over and immediately, I received a rate hike of 124 dollars. I question why this is the case as I am an excellent driver. I'm tired of feeling punished for the actions of other irresponsible drivers. Additionally, I was informed that my insurance will continue to increase and they don't foresee any changes soon. It's not something I'm looking forward to. Thanks!

So, I'm not inclined to praise their treatment of me.

The company offers personal and commercial car insurance, homeowners insurance, renters coverage, and more, through a network of independent agents across the country. In addition to liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, National General also offers accidental death and dismemberment, roadside assistance, and auto protection coverage. A.M. Best rates the company’s financial strength as excellent, meaning National General should be able to pay policyholder claims.

Why we picked this company
NJM launched in 1913 to provide workers’ compensation to New Jersey businesses. In 1921, the company added auto and homeowners insurance. Today, NJM also sells renters, condo, umbrella, watercraft, motorcycle, and ATV insurance in Connecticut, Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, as well as in New Jersey. AM Best gives the company an A+ rating, and NJM has a much lower than expected number of consumer complaints with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
