Allstate and Amica are two insurance companies that specialize in writing auto insurance policies. Both companies have a wide range of discounts, as well as superior financial strength ratings and high J.D. Power ratings.
Amica has been praised for its quick follow-up and smooth claims process. But its customer satisfaction reviews were quite low and negative. Allstate made #7 on the “Top Ten Auto Insurers of 2015” list. And although it has a lot of discounts, its premiums are on the higher side.
So which one offers the discounts, services, and customer ratings that best fit your car insurance wants and needs? Keep reading to find out.
