How to choose the best one for your family

The “best” carrier usually depends on:

• your state
• home age/construction/materials
• roof age
• driving history
• number of drivers/teen drivers
• credit-based insurance score where allowed
• prior claims
• whether you want high-touch agent service or low-touch digital service
• whether you care most about price, coverage, or claims experience

Practical recommendation

For a typical family shopping bundled coverage, I’d usually suggest getting quotes from:

• State Farm
• Travelers
• Nationwide
• Allstate
• Amica or USAA if eligible
• plus one or two regional carriers like Erie or Auto-Owners if available
