In this video, I break down some of the best car insurance companies for 2026 and explain what actually makes an insurance company a good choice.
I compare companies based on price, claims experience, discounts, bundling, apps and overall value. I’ll also explain why the “best” might not be a good idea and why some regional insurance companies may be worth considering.
My goal is to help you understand what to look for, compare your options, and find the company that fits your needs and budget.

I can't avoid the 6-7 references anywhere! haha
I clicked on your link in search of the agent you referred. I like/need human contact which I find so much easier than apps and tech and such. I await theor response. Remind me this agetn will compare many different companies and I can talk to a person ?
Regional insurers often win on claims satisfaction scores precisely because adjusters handle smaller territories and have more local context. The price comparison gets most of the attention, but that claims experience gap can be significant when you actually need to use the policy.
I cancelled usaa years ago for progressive, I so wanted to give usaa a chance but just couldn’t compete. I shop every year and still progressive is the best for me, I have never had to make a claim so they may suck paying claims.
Hi, I was checking out your channel and noticed you’ve made some really good progress with your audience. Once a channel starts gaining traction, I think it’s worth building something around the brand beyond YouTube. A professional website can bring your videos, personal brand, services, projects, and other resources together in one place while giving viewers another way to connect with you. I’d be happy to share a few ideas based on your channel. You can share your preferred contact method if you’d like to discuss it further.
USAA can suck it. I am 52 years old and just traded in a 2025 Maverick for a 2026 Passport and my rate doubled. I expected a couple of hundred increase maybe, but damn. I have Good Credit with a Spotless Driving Record and no claims. When I spoke to the kind lady with USAA to cancel my policy, she could not believe it either. I ended up going back to Progressive who I was with in previous years. I got so pissed off with all these insurers when they jacked everyone's rates up a couple of years ago just because they could. Insurance Companies are nothing but a bunch of Lawyers and Accountants.
