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 consistently a high scorer. It scored above average in both the 2025 U.S. Property Claims Satisfaction Study and the 2024 U.S. Home Insurance Study. It also scored above the segment average in the service category of the 2025 U.S. Insurance Digital Experience Study, although it scored below the segment average for the digital shopping experience. Along those lines, it's important to note that 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 fourth year in a row.

Why Nationwide may be the best budget coverage: Nationwide won the Best for Bundling Home and Auto Insurance Bankrate Award in 2025 because of the company’s valuable discount for bundled policies and ease of securing coverage for multiple insurance products all in one place. Beyond that, 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 remaining claims free (to name a few).

Why Farmers made our list: Farmers offers the standard array of home insurance coverage options and plenty of add-on options to consider for policy customization.

Power 2025 U.S. Property Claims Satisfaction Study.

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

Bankrate Score

Our 2025 Bankrate Score considers variables our insurance editorial team determined impact policyholders’ experiences with an insurance company. These rating 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.

50% Cost & ratings
 
30% Coverage & savings
 
20% Support
 
  • Tier 1 (Cost & ratings): To determine how well home insurance companies satisfy these priorities, our team analyzed average 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 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 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.
