The Best Car Insurance Companies of 2023
Different car insurance companies have varying levels of
quality. We conducted a survey of over 10,000 drivers to gain insight into
their experiences with car insurance, with a focus on important aspects such as
customer service, claims to handle, and customer loyalty. Using the data
gathered, we have ranked the top car insurance companies of 2023 to assist you
in finding the best one for you.
What Is the Best Car Insurance Company?
Our 2022 data shows that the top car insurance company is
USAA, however, it is only available to military members. If you do not qualify
for USAA, the next best option is State Farm. We evaluated rates, customer
feedback, and other factors such as customer service, claims handling, loyalty,
and policy renewal to determine the best car insurance companies. We also asked
survey participants how likely they would recommend their current insurer to
others. This list can help you compare companies based on important factors,
but it’s still best to compare multiple insurers and their rates before
purchasing or renewing your policy. Though USAA and State Farm are at the top
of the list, you may find a better fit with one of the other eight companies on
our list.
Here are a few more factors to consider when choosing a car
insurance company:
It’s difficult to definitively say which car insurance
companies are the “best,” as different companies may be better suited
for different individuals or circumstances. Some factors to consider when
choosing a car insurance company include the following:
- Financial stability: It’s important to choose a car
insurance company that is financially stable, as it will be more likely to be
able to pay out claims in the event of an accident. - Coverage options: Look for a company that offers a wide
range of coverage options, as this will allow you to tailor your policy to your
specific needs. - Customer service: Consider the reputation of the company for
customer service, as you will likely need to interact with them in the event of
a claim or other issue. - Price: Price is an important factor, but it’s not the only
factor to consider. Be sure to compare the coverage and customer service of
different companies in addition to their prices. It may also be helpful to read reviews and ask for
recommendations from friends, family, or other trusted sources. - Discounts: Many car insurance companies offer discounts for
things like having a good driving record, insuring multiple vehicles, or
bundling your car insurance with other types of insurance. Be sure to ask about
available discounts when shopping for car insurance. - Claims process: Consider how easy it is to file a claim with
the company and how quickly claims are typically processed. A company with a
streamlined claims process can make it easier for you to get the coverage you
need if you have an accident. - Availability: If you live in an area with limited insurance
options, it may be helpful to choose a company that is available in your area. - Local representation: If you prefer to work with a local
agent or broker, consider choosing a car insurance company that has a strong
presence in your community. - Online resources: Some car insurance companies offer a wide
range of online resources, such as tools to help you estimate your insurance
needs or the ability to file claims online. If you prefer to handle your
insurance needs online, look for a company with strong online resources.
Ultimately, the best car insurance company for you will
depend on your specific needs and circumstances. It’s a good idea to shop
around and compare quotes from multiple companies before making a decision.
USAA:
Our 2023 survey results have placed USAA as the top
insurance company. Customers of USAA have reported the highest level of
satisfaction and are more likely to renew their policies and recommend the
company to others. Additionally, USAA offers the lowest rates in our study, 35%
lower than the national average. However, it’s worth noting that USAA’s
insurance products, including auto, homeowners, and renters policies, are only
available to members of the military community, hence not every driver will qualify
for coverage through USAA.
