Automobile Insurance Companies

Following are the ratings of auto insurance companies by Consumer Reports, a publication of Consumers Union, a non-profit organization. Consumer Reports accepts no advertising or monies, gratuities, favors, etc. for any of the products or services it evaluates and compares. You'll save lots of money and make smarter purchasing choices over the next year if you'll subscribe. I subscribe because it gives me lots of comparative information on products and services and I don't like being suckered. A subscription costs $24/year.

Consumer Reports Subscription Dept Box 51166 Boulder CO 80323-1166

These ratings are based on responses to Consumer Union's 1994 Annual Questionnaire. Almost 34,000 readers participated in the survey. Buy the October 1995 issue of CR for more details. They also evaluate car batteries and portable heaters in this issue, among many other items.

Consumer Reports October 1995 issue ranks the auto insurance companies in the following order, based on how each company handled the readers' claims, from best to worst overall:

1. Amica Mutual 2. United Services Auto Assn. (USAA) 3. USAA Casualty 4. Cincinnati 5. Erie Ins. Exchange 6. National General 7. Erie Ins. Co. 8. Auto-Owners 9. Citizens Insurance Co. of America 10. Hartford Ins. Co. of the Midwest 11. New Jersey Manufacturers 12. State Automobile Mutual 13. Nationwide Mutual Fire 14. Hartford Casualty 15. Government Employees Ins. Co. (GEICO) 16. State Farm Mutual Auto 17. State Farm Fire and Casualty 18. American Family Mutual 19. Nationwide Mutual 20. Auto Club Ins. Assn. 21. Continental Ins. Co. 22. SAFECO Ins. Co. of America 23. GEICO General 24. Hartford Underwriters 25. Liberty Mutual Fire 26. Allstate 27. Horace Mann 28. California State Auto Assn. 29. Liberty Mutual 30. Prudential Property and Casual 31. 20th Century Insurance 32. Travelers Indemnity 33. Allstate Indemnity 34. Farmers Insurance Exchange 35. Aetna Casualty & Surety 36. Metropolitan Property and Casualty

I have no vested interest in Consumer Reports, other than being a subscriber.
