Resources & Methodology

Methodology

In 2025, Insure.com surveyed more than 2,000 insurance consumers through an independent research firm, Dynata. Customers named their insurer and rated it on customer satisfaction, ease of service, policy options, claims handling, digital experience, discounts and bundling home with auto. We also asked whether they planned to renew, would recommend their insurer to friends and family and trusted their insurer.

For insurers with enough survey responses, we added:

  • AM Best financial strength ratings, which measure an insurer’s ability to pay claims
  • NAIC complaint index scores, which show how many customer complaints an insurer receives relative to its size
  • Average premium data from Quadrant Information Services for a hypothetical 40-year-old driver with a clean driving record, good credit score, 12-mile daily commute and full coverage policy on a Honda Accord LX with liability limits of 100/300/100.

With guidance from Prof. David Marlett, Ph.D., we applied the following weights to calculate each company’s final rating:

  • Customer survey: 40%
  • AM Best: 25%
  • Average premium: 20%
  • NAIC complaints: 15%

Each insurer received a rating between 0.5 and 5 stars.
