How to lower your home insurance rate

Shop around. The first quote you receive is rarely the best one. Getting estimates from at least three or four insurers gives you a clearer picture of what’s available in Nebraska.
Bundle your policies. Combining home and auto insurance, or renters and auto, with the same provider is one of the most common ways to unlock multi-policy discounts.
Ask about smart home discounts. Security systems, smoke detectors, and leak sensors are the kinds of upgrades that can bring your premium down.
Check for other savings. Loyalty discounts, claims-free rewards, and home improvements like fire-resistant roofing are worth asking about at renewal.

What are the best homeowners insurance companies in Nebraska?

Based on our data, Travelers stands out as a top choice in Nebraska. It earns an AM Best rating of A++ and one of the lowest NAIC complaint scores in the state-a combination that points to both financial stability and customer satisfaction.

To identify the most reliable insurers, we weighed two key metrics:

AM Best Rating, which evaluates a company’s financial strength and its ability to pay out claims.
NAIC Complaint Score, which reflects how many complaints a company receives relative to its size, so a lower score signals fewer problems.

Together, these metrics help you determine an insurer’s financial stability and customer satisfaction. The table below breaks down the best companies in Nebraska by average annual premium, financial rating, and complaint history.

Company	Average annual premium	Am Best Rating	NAIC Complaint Index	Overall score
Travelers	$4,983	A++	0.91	4.33

How to understand insurer ratings and complaint data

Picking an insurer really comes down to whether they pay when you file a claim, and whether they treat you well along the way. You don’t have to guess – independent rating agencies track this data so you can choose with confidence, whether you’re signing up or renewing.

These are the two ratings we’ve used:

AM Best is a global agency that scores insurers on their financial strength and ability to pay claims. The higher the rating, the more stable the company.
NAIC Complaint Index, run by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, tracks consumer complaints. A score of 1.00 is the industry average; below 1.00 means fewer complaints than expected for the company’s size, and above 1.00 means more.

What factors affect your home insurance rate?

Home insurance is priced according to the risk an insurer associates with your property and personal profile. The factors that carry the most weight include:

Where you live. Crime levels, weather-related risks, and local claims activity all factor into your rate.
Your claims history. Having filed claims in the past generally leads to a higher premium going forward.
Your credit-based insurance score. Most states allow insurers to use credit as a pricing factor. A lower score can result in a higher rate, though states such as California and Massachusetts have restrictions on this practice.
Your coverage limits and deductible. Choosing higher coverage or a lower deductible will increase your annual cost.

Home insurance costs have also been rising nationally. S&P Global Market Intelligence’s RateWatch application found that premiums for owner-occupied homes increased by more than 11% in 2023.
