Our editorial team spent 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. Criteria are weighted by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.
We rate each company on a 1 to 5 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. We update ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.
Third-party financial ratings: We use data from AM Best, S&P, Moody's, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 20,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also considered third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the United States, as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
Availability and reach: Insurify identified the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share to score availability and reach.

We were with Geico for over 20 years and then had a terrible customer service experience. This wasn't a minor issue or just one agent. The problem involved conversations with multiple agents and supervisors. It's disappointing that after being insured with this company for so long, they showed no interest in resolving an unexpected situation that was actually an honest mistake made by one of their agents. I don't recommend them!

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Colorado Springs
Several factors affect the costs of car insurance, such as age, driving history, and choice of vehicle. Luckily, you can save on car insurance by using the following strategies:[1]
Choose a higher deductible. Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket on a claim before your insurance kicks in. Generally, drivers with higher collision and comprehensive deductibles pay lower monthly car insurance rates. Liability coverage doesn’t have a deductible.
Look for discounts. When you sign up for a policy, it’s a good idea to check your company’s website or ask your agent for discounts. Most companies reward drivers who practice safe driving, install safety features, or purchase other policies, such as homeowners insurance or renters insurance, from the same insurer.
Pick a safe car. Fancy sports cars are considered high-risk, meaning they have a higher chance of leading to expensive claims. Choose a vehicle with a strong safety record and safety features in order to save on car insurance.
Shop around. Different companies offer different rates. The best way to find the lowest rate is to receive quotes from several companies, then compare them side by side using an online comparison tool.
