Allstate and Auto-Owners share the third rank, providing standard coverages with specialty options such as home business coverage and personal property replacement.
Auto-Owners requires agent engagement for quotes but offers online management of policies after enrollment. State Farm and Nationwide tie for fifth, with State Farm offering numerous optional coverages including energy efficiency upgrades and identity restoration, and Nationwide excelling in value and including building ordinance coverage in policies while offering discounts for smart home systems and renovations.
Progressive ranks seventh, available nationwide and noted for value but receiving lower marks for claims handling and customer service, offering limited discounts but a single deductible in policies.
