New Jersey Auto Insurance Reviews: Complaint Ratings Ranking 32 Major Companies

Does your auto insurance company have a lot of complaints? Will you have difficulty placing a claim, or have a valid claim delayed or denied? Will you find out your company is good or bad? Most consumers fail to check the complaint records of their insurance companies. Here I provide complaint information for the 32 largest (insuring 10,00 vehicles or more in NJ) auto insurance companies in New Jersey, and rank them from best to worst based on their 2010 NJ complaint record (Accurate 2011 data not available yet).

I’m always blogging to help you get the best policies and prices for auto, home, & life insurance, so bookmark or place my website in your favorites!

The New Jersey Department of Banking & Insurance website is the source of my information about car insurance complaint records. I provide the New Jersey complaint index for each car insurance company, but I devised a letter grade system to make it easier to tell an insurance company with a great or good complaint record, from an insurance company with a poor or average complaint record.

Here’s my grading system:

A+ = Insurance companies with complaints 25% or less than the average insurance company.

A = Insurance companies with complaints 50% or less than the average insurance company.

B = Insurance companies with complaints 90% or less than the average insurance company.

C = Insurance companies with complaints from 90% to 110% of the average insurance company.

D = Insurance companies with complaints from 110% to 200% of the average insurance company.

F = Insurance companies with complaints over 200% of the average insurance company. More than twice as much as average!

Consider these grades, along with price and other factors (as listed on my website), when choosing an auto insurance company.

I also list the New Jersey complaint index number. The lower the number, the better the complaint record: 1 is average. Below 1 is better than average. More than 1 is worse than average.
