🚗 10 Cheapest Auto Insurance Companies
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, wait … it’s Superman auto insurance prices!
Rates just keep increasing. A recent report claims the average auto insurance policy costs 26% more than it did last year (+46% in New Jersey).
When we’re getting hammered with premium increases that intense, it’s natural to look for ways to save money on car insurance.
Clark’s favorite is to re-shop your insurance.
It’s not always best to pick the company that offers the lowest price. You want good service if and when you need to submit a claim. But if all else is equal, why not pay less?
To that end, MarketWatch put together an excellent resource on pricing. First, the top 10 cheapest national and regional auto insurers according to its research:
1. USAA: $92/month
2. Central Insurance: $96
3. Travelers: $99
4. Auto-Owners: $100
5. Country Financial: $106
6. Erie Insurance: $106
7. Geico: $109
8. Nationwide: $123
9. Progressive: $133
10. State Farm: $142
The data-rich MarketWatch report allows you to determine the cheapest auto insurer by:

The #1 call we received in our Consumer Action Center is about used car issues after the purchase. Vehicles are a major financial decision and it’s crucial to take the right steps to protect yourself and your money. Clark explains everything you need to know before you buy your next car. Also, Clark’s advice about finding deals on apartments is starting to shift. Why? The different buildings are working together through a third party service which makes it difficult to negotiate. If you are shopping for a new place to rent, you really need to know this.
