Why USAA made our list: USAA is only available to military members, veterans and their qualifying family members. But, if you qualify for a policy or happen to be stationed at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base, you might want to get a quote. USAA automatically insures your personal belongings at replacement cost value (versus actual cash value), which usually costs extra with other companies, and its base policies come with up to $5,000 of identity theft protection.
Why USAA may be the best overall: USAA’s strict eligibility criteria exclude it from J.D. Power ranking, but it is a consistently high scorer. It scored above average in both the 2024 U.S. Property Claims Satisfaction Study and the 2023 Home Insurance Study. It also scored above the segment average in the shopping and service category of the Insurance Digital Experience Study — which is extra important, considering USAA does not have any brick-and-mortar agency locations, and policies are managed completely online and over the phone. USAA also tied for the Best Home Insurance Company Overall Bankrate Award for the third year in a row.

Why Nationwide made our list: Nationwide has a strong selection of coverage endorsements like identity theft protection, water backup, service line coverage and equipment breakdown. Nationwide has a few other more specialized coverage choices like Better Roof Replacement and Brand New Belongings. The company was ranked above average in the J.D. Power Property Claims Satisfaction Study, but it fell below the segment average in the Home Insurance Study.
Why Nationwide may be the best budget coverage: Nationwide won the Best Budget Home Insurance Company Bankrate Award because of its competitive average rates and broad discount selection. On its website, Nationwide advertises nine different savings opportunities across different categories. Fort Worth homeowners can save based on their roof quality, living in a gated community, installing protective devices and for remaining claims free (to name a few).

Why Farmers may be best for custom policies: Some homeowners need more tailored coverage, which Farmers could be good for.

The following states do not allow credit to be a factor in determining home insurance rates: California, Maryland, Massachusetts.

Bankrate Scores
Our 2024 Bankrate Score considers variables our insurance editorial team determined impacts policyholders’ experiences with an insurance company. These rating factors include a robust assessment of each company’s product availability, financial strength ratings, online capabilities and customer and claims support accessibility. Each factor was added to a category, and these categories were weighted in a tiered approach to analyze how companies perform in key customer-impacting categories.
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.
-
Cost & ratings 50%
-
Coverage & savings 30%
-
Support 20%
- Tier 1 (Cost & ratings): To determine how well auto and home insurance companies satisfy these priorities, 2023 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 NAIC, were analyzed.
- 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 each company’s discount options listed on its website.
- Tier 3 (Support): To encompass the many ways a home 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 a company’s corporate sustainability efforts.
