Amica car insurance review
Amica car insurance earned a Bankrate Score of 4.6 out of 5.0 and tied for Best Auto Insurance Company Overall in the 2024 Bankrate Awards. Based on our assessment, Amica could be an excellent choice for drivers looking for comprehensive coverage options. In addition to the standard coverage types you would expect to find with any carrier, Amica also offers roadside assistance, gap insurance, glass coverage and rental reimbursement. Some drivers may also want accident forgiveness (also called Good Driving Rewards in some states) to help protect against a surcharge in case they’re involved in an at-fault accident.
Drivers who want robust protection may find Amica’s Platinum Choice Auto package especially appealing. Here, you’ll find glass repair or replacement without a deductible, credit monitoring services, new car replacement coverage and rental coverage with no daily limit in one package. Amica car insurance policies are highly customizable, as the company allows shoppers to add these options à la carte if they don’t want to buy the Platinum Choice Auto package as a whole.
Amica car insurance is available in every state except for Hawaii. Drivers interested in getting a quote from Amica can visit its website at amica.com or call an agent directly at 1-800-242-6422. Note that online car insurance quotes are unavailable in Louisiana. Residents of this state must call to speak with an agent.
Pros and cons of Amica car insurance
When you’re looking for the best car insurance company to meet your needs, it can be helpful to make a list of pros and cons. Every driver needs something different in their auto insurance, and creating a visual may help you find the company that stands apart from the rest.
Pros
Accident forgiveness available in some states
Amica will pay replacement cost value if your new vehicle is declared a total loss within the first 180 to 365 days of ownership
Robust coverage options offered
Cons
Online car insurance quotes are unavailable in Louisiana and no coverage is offered in Hawaii
Higher than average full coverage car insurance rates
No rideshare coverage available
Amica car insurance cost
Using proprietary data provided by Quadrant Information Services, Bankrate tracks rate trends to find the cheapest car insurance companies available. According to our research, the average cost of car insurance in 2024 for a full coverage policy is $2,678 per year. A minimum coverage policy is $799 per year. For comparison, Amica car insurance averages $3,869 and $1,242, for full and minimum coverage, respectively. Although you may be paying more or less than the average based on your personal rating factors, this information might be a helpful touchstone when comparing car insurance quotes.
How much is Amica car insurance?
Auto insurance companies use several rating factors to calculate your premium, and your driving history is one of the most significant. However, companies give different weights to each type of incident. For instance, as demonstrated in the tables, you’ll typically pay more for your car insurance if you have an at-fault accident or a speeding ticket.
It’s important to mention that not all carriers will offer a policy to drivers with serious convictions on their record, such as a DUI. For more information on Amica’s DUI rates or if DUIs are accepted, please get in touch with a licensed agent directly.
In every state except for Hawaii and Massachusetts, your age will affect how much you pay for car insurance. Generally speaking, younger drivers pay the most for car insurance because of their increased risk of car accidents. Not only are young drivers more likely to be involved in an accident, but their accidents tend to be more severe. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the fatal crash rate is nearly three times higher for 16- to 19-year-olds than for drivers ages 20 or above.
However, young drivers looking for cheap car insurance may want to know that they could pay less when listed on their parents’ policy instead of purchasing a policy on their own. Each insurance company rates young drivers differently, so getting several free online car insurance quotes can help you find the best rate. The tables below show the average premiums young drivers may expect to pay, broken down by coverage type and how the young driver is covered.
*All rates displayed are average annual rates. Rates are based on our good driver profile, with 16- and 18-year-old drivers added to their parents’ policy.
Car insurance rates vary by state, driver and company. While Amica usually has rates that are above the national average, this might not be the case for all drivers.
Bankrate's insurance editorial team uses a few different metrics to measure an insurance company's customer satisfaction, including J.D. Power scores. This third-party rating company issues annual insurance company studies measuring companies' overall customer satisfaction along with claims satisfaction. J.D. Power uses a numerical ranking system by providing a “best of” score on a 1,000-point scale.
We also consider the scores from AM Best, a third-party company that rates insurance companies on their financial stability and creditworthiness. AM Best uses a standard letter system, with grades A through D.
Amica auto claims satisfaction
When it comes to auto customer satisfaction, Amica shines. After all, this is one of the reasons it tied for Best Auto Insurance Company Overall in the 2024 Bankrate Awards. Although Amica was only included in the New England region of the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Auto Insurance Study, it earned one of the top spots. It was also the number one insurance company for claims satisfaction in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study.

Amica auto insurance customer complaints
Seeing how many customer complaints a company has can give you insight into how other customers perceive a company's service and product. We analyze data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Complaint Index. Here, the NAIC keeps track of how many complaints it gets regarding insurance companies and compares it to the overall average.
To understand this data, the average (or baseline) amount of complaints equates to an NAIC Complaint Index score of 1.0. A company with a higher score than 1.0 gets more complaints on average, and a score lower than 1.0 indicates fewer complaints. Amica consistently scores below the average.

Amica home insurance review
Amica home insurance earned a Bankrate Score of 4.6 out of 5 and ranked as one of the best home insurance companies for its robust coverage options. To determine Amica’s Bankrate Score, Bankrate’s insurance editorial team reviewed many of the same car insurance key metrics but tailored the metrics for home insurance. Amica home insurance offers robust coverage options and performed well in customer service, earning the second place spot in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Home Insurance Study. However, the company lost points in its Bankrate Score for having more expensive average premiums.
Amica offers both HO-3 and HO-5 home insurance products. Its Standard Choice package is an HO-3 policy type and may be ideal for those who only want basic coverage options with the option to purchase additional coverage. Additional coverage options include a 30 percent extended replacement cost for dwelling, personal property replacement coverage, water backup/sump overflow and special computer coverage for electronic devices.
Homeowners interested in an extensive home insurance policy can choose Amica’s Platinum Choice package, an HO-5 policy type that includes the additional options in its Standard Choice package as default, as well as credit card coverage, business property coverage, extended coverage for valuable items, loss assessment plan and increased limits for liability and medical payments coverage.

Is Amica a good insurance company?
Here at Bankrate, we understand how important it is to research insurance companies before making the switch. That’s why our insurance editorial team (which includes licensed insurance agents) does the leg work for you by conducting exhaustive company reviews. Our goal is to give you the information you need to decide what company will provide you with the financial protection that makes the most sense for your circumstances.
Based on our research, Amica could be a good choice for many individuals. If you are looking for a company that places a high value on taking care of its policyholders, you may want to note that Amica earns a high ranking for customer satisfaction with J.D. Power for both auto and home insurance. Partly because of this factor, the company also was named a 2024 Bankrate Awards winner for Best Overall Auto Insurance Company (tie with Geico) and Best for Customer Experience (also for auto insurance).
What are real-life customers saying about Amica?
One way to decide if a company is right for you is by getting feedback from current customers. To help you with your search, we’ve sourced real-life takes from two popular online platforms: Reddit and Trustpilot. Users can voice their opinions and experiences with companies in both forums, but there are a few differences. Reddit allows other users to comment and respond to original posts, without much interference or regulation of content. Whereas Trustpilot verifies the company and the user and while readers can upvote useful reviews, they can not comment.
Reddit
For the most part, customers seem to agree that Amica offers excellent customer service and higher-than-average premiums for auto and home insurance. When users did complain about customer service, it was mostly directed to the claims department regarding a lack of communication.

Amica claims
I am currently dealing with a not-at-fault accident claim with Amica. There have been terrible delays and a lack of professionalism. I am highly disappointed in how our claim is being handled. I have had Amica for 6 years but will probably switch back to USAA soon.
I've been in insurance for 25+ years and Amica consistently blows other companies away when it comes to customer satisfaction and retention surveys. I wish I could afford them!
Amica has a 4.5 out of 5-star rating with Trustpilot and customers seem satisfied with the service they receive from both service and claims agents. Several reviewers mention how quickly their claims were handled and how patient agents are when answering questions.

For auto insurance, Amica is available in every state except Hawaii. For home insurance, Amica is available in most states except Alaska, Florida and Hawaii. California, Missouri and North Carolina do not have the option to participate in the home insurance dividend program. Amica life insurance is available in all states.
Amica tools and benefits
In addition to auto, home and life, Amica offers a variety of other coverage types, including:
Renters insurance: As a renter, this insurance provides coverage for personal belongings, liability and loss of use coverage.
Umbrella insurance: This policy provides additional liability coverage or extends the limits of your underlying policies, like your auto and home insurance policies, for additional financial protection.
RV and trailer insurance: Owning an RV is different from owning a personal car, and this policy is tailored to those specific needs.
Flood insurance: A standard homeowners policy does not cover floods. You may want to consider purchasing an NFIP flood policy through Amica for extra financial protection.
Home business coverage: Those who run their own business out of their home can find coverage for business equipment, like furniture, electronic equipment and supplies, as well as work-related liability for visitors or customers that come into their home.
Dividend home insurance policy: While the coverage is the same as Amica’s standard home policy, the dividend policy may return a portion of the paid premium to the policyholder, with average returns ranging from 5 to 20 percent of the annual premium. This could lower the overall cost of the home insurance policy, but returns are not guaranteed; the dividend policy is unavailable in all states and may be more expensive upfront.
Contractor Connection: A useful tool for homeowners who want access to licensed contractors for home renovation and remodeling projects. Amica monitors contractors for metrics such as work quality, estimates and timeliness and requires contractors to back projects with a workmanship warranty for five years.
Frequently asked questions about Amica Insurance
Filing an insurance claim with Amica is straightforward, but you will need some basic information handy.

Amica is involved with many companies that support communities and individuals through its corporate responsibility programs. It partners with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to promote safe driving habits and has donated $5.2 million to nonprofit organizations through grants and sponsorships. It accepts nominations for donations through its Amica Companies Foundation, which is specifically for nonprofits serving Rhode Island residents.
Amica employees are also encouraged to volunteer with paid time off and donation matches from the company. According to Amica, the company has matched 175 percent of employee donations to qualified organizations.
The Automobile Mutual Insurance Company of America started in 1907 and is a Rhode Island-based company. Eventually, the acronym AMICA took its place.
Amica's website is somewhat sparse, and it doesn't include some of the informational elements that other larger companies have, such as an educational blog. It does feature a storm center with information for policyholders on how to prepare for and stay safe during floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters. You can make a payment and report claims via the website, and the company also has apps for iOS and Android devices that allow you to manage your policy online.
Methodology
Rates
Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze March 2025 rates for all ZIP codes and carriers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates are weighted based on the population density in each geographic region. Quoted rates for our base profile are based on the following characteristics and full coverage limits with bundling and paperless billing discounts applied:
40 year old
Single male and female driver
2023 Toyota Camry
Primary vehicle
Good credit score
Clean driving record
Commutes 5 days
Bodily injury liability
$100,000 per person
$300,000 per accident
Property damage liability
$50,000 per accident
Personal injury protection
$100,000 per accident
Uninsured motorist bodily injury
$100,000 per person
$300,000 per accident
Collision deductible
$500
Comprehensive deductible
$500
To determine minimum coverage limits, Bankrate used minimum coverage that meets each state’s requirements. These are sample rates and should only be used for comparative purposes. Your quotes will differ.
If otherwise specified, the base profile has been modified with the following driver characteristics:
Other profiles
Rates were calculated based on the following insurance credit tiers assigned to our drivers: “poor, average, good (base) and excellent.” Insurance credit tiers factor in your official credit scores but are not dependent on that variable alone. Four states prohibit or limit the use of credit as a rating factor in determining auto insurance rates: California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Michigan.
Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the following incidents applied: clean record (base), at-fault accident, single speeding ticket, single DUI conviction and lapse in coverage.
Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the following differences in mileage: 2K, 5K, 12K (base), 15K and 20K.
Unless otherwise stated, rates are for 2023 vehicle models. For new vs used vehicles, we included the following year in our calculations: 2013.
Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the ages 18-70 (base: 40 years) applied. Depending on age, drivers may be a renter or homeowner. Age is not a contributing rating factor in Hawaii and Massachusetts due to state regulations. For teen drivers, rates were determined by adding a 16- or 17-year-old teen to their 40-year-old married parents' policy. The rates displayed reflect the total cost of a driver this age added to their parents’ policy.
The following states do not use gender as a determining factor in calculating premiums: California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania.
Rates were evaluated based on the following marital/family status: single (base), married, 40-year-old married man and woman. Marital status is not a rating factor in Hawaii and Massachusetts.
Bankrate Score
Our 2025 Bankrate Score for auto insurance considers key variables that our insurance editorial team determined impact policyholders’ experiences with an insurance company. These factors include a robust assessment of each company’s cost of coverage, product availability, financial strength ratings, online capabilities and customer and claims support accessibility. We grouped these factors into three essential categories — cost and ratings, coverage and savings, and support — which we then weighted in a tiered approach.
Each category was assigned a metric to determine performance, and the weighted sum adds up to a company’s total Bankrate Score — out of 5 points. Our scoring model provides a comprehensive view, indicating when companies excel across several key areas and highlighting where they fall short.

Tier 1 (Cost & ratings): To determine how well auto insurance companies satisfy these priorities, our team analyzed quoted premiums from Quadrant Information Services (if available), as well as any of the latest third-party agency ratings from J.D. Power, AM Best, Demotech and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
Tier 2 (Coverage & savings): We assessed companies’ coverage options and availability to help policyholders find a provider that balances cost with coverage. Additionally, we evaluated the discount options listed on each company’s website.
Tier 3 (Support): To encompass the many ways an auto insurance company can support policyholders, we analyzed avenues of customer accessibility along with community support. This analysis incorporated additional financial strength ratings from S&P and Moody’s and factored in a company’s corporate sustainability efforts.
Tier scores are unweighted to show the company's true score in each category out of a possible five points.

How we got these ratings
In May 2024, Bankrate collaborated with market research firm SliceMR to survey over 1,500 insurance customers nationwide, asking policyholders to rate their insurer’s cost, coverage, customer support and overall experience on a five-point scale. Bankrate and SliceMR collected and analyzed these customer ratings, along with website analytics and responses to three open-ended questions regarding customer experience. Responses are based on individual policyholders’ policy details and personal experience, and therefore cannot be verified for accuracy. Users received an incentive for their feedback. All ratings are unedited and have not been reviewed or approved by insurance carriers. User-generated ratings are separate from carrier Bankrate Scores — which are calculated based on our proprietary methodology — and may not match.

How does this insurer compare to insurance companies you’ve had in the past?
I have been with Amica for 24 years now and have had nothing but great experiences with them. The price keeps going up and is a little more expensive than I would like but the customer service is great and their coverages are great.
