Best Car Insurance Comparison Sites (2025)

For American drivers facing the sharp 26% jump in auto-insurance rates over the last two years, the smartest first step is to let a comparison platform do the leg-work. Quote marketplaces gather rates from dozens of carriers in seconds, but their track records vary in transparency, accuracy, and real-world savings. Below is an objective look at five of the largest players, using publicly verifiable data from Trustpilot, the Better Business Bureau (BBB), published savings claims, and candid chatter on Reddit and other consumer forums.

1. Compare.com

Compare.com partners with more than 100 insurers and says its users save about $720 a year on average when they switch. Trust signals are solid: an A+ BBB rating and accreditation since 2015 (the longest of all tested platforms), plus a 4.7/5 Trustpilot score drawn from verified buyers. The quote form is fast and usually returns at least one binding price, though some shoppers report getting fewer options than on rival sites. Reddit and Shopper-Approved reviews echo that: most praise the clean interface and truthful rates, while a minority complain that final premiums edge above the initial quote.

2. Insurify

With a 4.8/5 score on Trustpilot - one of the highest in the segment - from more than 6,000 recent reviews, Insurify wins for customer satisfaction. The company claims average annual savings of up to $1,025 for some shoppers, a figure echoed by independent reviewers. Its BBB rating is B+ and accredited since 2020, reflecting a handful of complaints but quick resolutions. Reddit threads in r/personalfinance describe the quote flow as “fast and spam-free,” though several posters wish live-agent help were easier to reach. Insurify also shows real prices (not leads) from more than 120 insurers, including regional carriers that national sites sometimes miss.

3. Jerry

Built as an app-first experience, Jerry touts AI-driven re-shopping every six months and an $800 average annual savings figure. Trustpilot scores are lower (3.9/5) unfortunately, but the BBB assigns Jerry an A and notes only a few unresolved complaints. Social chatter is mixed: some applaud automated renewals, while others on BBB and review sites gripe about “teaser quotes” that rise once underwriting reports run. Because quotes appear only in-app, desktop shoppers and anyone wanting faster quotes should look elsewhere.

4. Policygenius

Originally a life-insurance marketplace, Policygenius earns a 4.7/5 Trustpilot score across over 5,000 reviews. The BBB rates it A- and notes 22 complaints over three years - modest for its size. Policygenius advertises average auto savings of about $540 a year. A recent Reddit commenter praised the site for “a no-pressure snapshot of multiple quotes in minutes,” though lamented the follow-up phone calls from insurers.

5. Zebra

Zebra sits in the middle on most metrics: 4.5/5 Trustpilot, an A- BBB rating but not accredited, and a headline claim of $922 in average savings when drivers bundle auto and home. Power users on Reddit complain that the site sometimes hands them off to carrier portals instead of showing final prices, which undercuts the “instant quote” promise. Still, its breadth (100 carriers nationwide) makes it a solid benchmarking tool.

Quick-Shopper Ranking (May 2025)

• Insurify: Best blend of high Trustpilot rating, clear real-time quotes, and consumer-reported savings.
• Compare.com: Wide insurance network combined with strong trust signals (4.7 Trustpilot, A+ BBB accredited since 2015).
• Policygenius: Strong trust metrics (A- BBB, 4.7 Trustpilot); slower quote flow and lower reported savings.
• Zebra: Modest carrier network and reasonable consumer scores, indirect quoting can add steps and complication.
• Jerry: Savings claim offset by middling consumer ratings, accuracy complaints, and inconvenience of requiring an app.
