These categories include average rates, discounts, coverage options, third-party customer service ratings and app/website experience. We weighted these categories based on what customers value in an insurance company.

For third-party customer service ratings, we included complaint index scores from National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and financial strength ratings from AM Best.
