Best Auto Insurance in Illinois

64 auto insurers ranked by formal complaint rates filed with state regulators. Lower complaints = better claims experience.

When drivers in Illinois file a claim after a crash or theft, the experience varies widely from one company to the next. The 64 auto insurers ranked below are graded solely on formal complaints filed against them with state insurance regulators, not on price, advertising, or paid customer surveys. A higher grade means a company drew proportionally fewer complaints about claim delays, underpayments, and denials than its competitors.

Across the 64 graded companies, the breakdown is 10 A grades, 17 B grades, 26 C grades, 7 D grades, and 4 F grades. AMERICAN FAMILY INSURANCE COMPANY, AMERICAN FAMILY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, S.I., and Erie Insurance Exchange post the strongest claims records in Illinois, each drawing fewer complaints than the industry average. At the other end, LOYA INSURANCE COMPANY and Auto Club Insurance Association draw complaints at well above the typical rate. Compare every rated insurer below before you buy or switch, and weigh these grades alongside price and coverage rather than in place of them.
