What are the most popular Indiana car insurance providers?

Market share shows the percentage of customers a company has compared to competitors. If you choose the most popular insurance company—in Indiana’s case, State Farm—you might notice that it’s not the cheapest option. Cheap doesn’t always mean great and looking at market share can give you a clue about why so many other drivers are choosing a certain car insurance provider. Give the chart below a look to see for yourself.

Progressive has the lowest and best complaint index in the state which means it probably has some of the happiest customers. Chubb, United Automobile, and American Independent all are pretty sub-par on this scale.

If you’re looking for a new provider for auto coverage, make sure they have a low or moderate complaint index so you’ll be more likely to enjoy its coverage.

We hope you use all the facts and data above to pick the best all-around company that fits your needs. Allstate, for instance, ranks in the top five in Indiana for price, market share, and low customer complaints. Erie and Allstate both ranked in the top five for two of those categories.
