Trusted Choice's Esurance Insurance Score

3 Stars
We award Esurance a final rating of three out of five stars. The insurance company has high ratings through AM Best and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). However, there has been a concerning volume of customer complaints filed against the carrier through the BBB in recent years, and Esurance is not currently accredited through the organization. Customer feedback is also largely mixed.
Esurance was founded in 1999, giving the carrier nearly two and a half decades’ worth of experience in the insurance industry today. Its parent company, Allstate, is extremely well known across the nation and has been operational since 1931. Esurance currently offers its coverage in 43 states and has expanded its reach rapidly since its start in the industry.
The insurance company’s option for 24/7 claims reporting through multiple mediums is a huge advantage. But while a mobile app is available, the carrier doesn't seem to have a presence on social media, which is a bit puzzling for the current stage of the insurance industry. Overall, we say to go ahead and look into Esurance with the help of your independent insurance agent. You just may also want to survey some additional options.

The generous customer service contact hours and 24/7 claims reporting by phone are definitely advantages. However, Esurance does not appear to have a social media presence, which limits its accessibility to customers.

Esurance has affordable auto insurance rates compared to the national average and offers a few discounts to reduce costs even more. However, seeing so much negative customer feedback drops the carrier's rating a few points in our book.
Esurance's products may be right for customers looking for home, auto, renters, or motorcycle insurance. Customers must be located in one of the 43 states in which coverage is available. Esurance does not sell coverage in Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wyoming, or Washington D.C.
The current national average cost of a six-month car insurance policy is $1,093. In comparison, Esurance's average car insurance cost for a six-month policy is $1,031. This makes the carrier's auto insurance rates slightly cheaper than average.
