Although Esurance provides a convenient app for customers to manage their insurance policies and a long list of discounts, Esurance has not received the best ratings from third-party agencies. Based on the NAIC data, Esurance has received more customer complaints than average. While the complaint ratio for the national median is 1, Esurance received a 2.92.

Esurance offers discounts for switching, bundling, driving safely, and for downloading the Esurance mobile app. Drivers who insure their vehicles with Esurance can also use the DriveSense app, which monitors safe driving habits, to further boost discounts and lower their Esurance premiums.

Esurance promotes a quick and simple claims process. Drivers can use the Esurance Mobile app to submit a claim with photo claims, Drivers can also submit a claim online or by talking to an expert at the number provided. Despite Esurance’s easy claims process, data from the NAIC shows that customers found glitches to the app and complained about response times.

Esurance vs. Geico

Since Esurance has been folded into Allstate, comparisons should be made to Allstate versus Geico. Both emphasize strong digital experiences and telematics (Allstate Drivewise vs. Geico DriveEasy). Bundling options and discounts vary by state; both offer multi-car and multi-policy savings, though eligibility and partner arrangements differ.

Esurance vs. Progressive

Compare Allstate (Esurance’s successor) with Progressive: both provide broad coverage and robust digital tools. Progressive highlights Snapshot telematics and pricing features like the Name Your Price tool, while Allstate offers Drivewise and a pay-per-mile option (Milewise) in select states; both offer rideshare and other add-ons where available.

Esurance vs. USAA

The primary difference between USAA and Esurance (now serviced under Allstate) is eligibility: USAA serves military members, veterans, and eligible family. USAA typically earns among the highest customer satisfaction in J.D. Power studies but is not rank-eligible in regional rankings.

Esurance FAQ

Methodology

We evaluated Esurance (now serviced under Allstate) based on discounts, coverage, digital resources, financial strength, customer satisfaction, and regulator complaint data to create our best car insurance reviews. To compare car insurance companies with other providers across the board, we analyzed the following:

  • Discounts: Auto insurance companies that advertised more discounts received higher scores in our methodology.
  • Financial Stability: Reviews.com utilized AM Best ratings to assign a score based on each car insurance company’s financial stability.
  • Customer Satisfaction: J.D. Power ranks car insurance companies by customer satisfaction, so we used its 2021 Auto Insurance Satisfaction Study (1,000-point scale) and treated Allstate’s regional results as the current proxy for Esurance.
  • Coverage: Car insurance companies were awarded higher scores for advertised coverages beyond the body liability, property liability, collision, and personal injury protection.
  • Online Resources: We reviewed the digital resources of each car insurance company and awarded higher scores to insurers with mobile claim estimates, digital insurance cards, and more.
