Smaller regional companies tend to offer cheap rates and reliable customer service. You might find it easier to work with an agent whose office is nearby versus someone located in a call center across the country.

Many large insurance companies and regional providers have local agents who understand the needs of drivers near you. Additionally, working with someone near you can make the claims process much easier if you're ever in an accident.

Frequently asked questions

Who normally has the cheapest car insurance?

State Farm usually has the cheapest rates among national car insurance companies. However, a smaller regional company like Auto-Owners, Erie or Farm Bureau may have the cheapest rates near you.

Is it better to use a local insurance agent?

This depends on how you prefer to communicate with your insurance company. If you're looking for a one-on-one relationship, or prefer speaking with someone in person or on the phone, then a local agent is the best choice for you. However, if you're more comfortable managing your insurance with an app and prefer virtual chat to phone calls, you may not benefit from working with a local agent.

Methodology

To find rates by state, ValuePenguin compared quotes from the top insurance companies in each state. Rates are for a 30-year-old man with good credit and a clean driving record who drives a 2015 Honda Civic EX.

Full coverage limits are greater than any one state's minimum requirement. Full coverage also includes comprehensive coverage, collision coverage and uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage.

  • Bodily injury liability: $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage liability: $25,000 per accident
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury liability: $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Comprehensive and collision: $500 deductible
  • Personal injury protection: Minimum when required by state

The best car insurance companies offered quotes in at least five states. ValuePenguin editors rated insurance companies based on J.D. Power customer satisfaction survey scores, data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) complaint index, coverage availability and the overall value provided to customers.

ValuePenguin's analysis used insurance rate data from Quadrant Information Services. These rates were publicly sourced from insurer filings and should be used for comparative purposes only — your own quotes may be different.
