The Most Popular Auto Insurance Carriers In California

When it comes to car insurance, we all play favorites, even if subconsciously. Chances are that if your parents have Allstate insurance, you do too. We go with what’s familiar. Familiarity is welcoming. But there’s something even better than that, and that’s saving on California car insurance with CoverHound. In our work to bring you satisfying coverage at an affordable rate, we’ve learned that Californians favor three car insurance carriers: Mercury, Progressive and Safeco. Let’s take a closer look at the California driver, and the above insurance carriers to learn more about what makes them California’s top choices.



The Californian Driver

In 2010, California’s population was 37.25 million. The United States Census Bureau estimates that that number has grown to just over 39 million, with only 23.6 percent of residents under the age of 18. This means a majority of Californians are licensed drivers. According to Air Quality Matters, Californians drive 1.5 times more than the national average. As of 2014, California had a grand total of 24.81 million licensed motorists. That’s a lot of cars on the road, and the traffic wait-time is awful. ABC News reports that Americans spent 42 hours a year in rush-hour traffic. Los Angeles and San Francisco being among the top three cities in the U.S. for longest traffic delays, averaging more hours spent in gridlock traffic than the national average.



Here’s a rundown of the numbers:





As a Californian, you’re stuck in your car for a while, especially if you live in more populated areas. Because Californians are spending more time in their cars, they are at greater risk of being involved in an accident. Over 3,000 Californian motorists died in traffic-related accidents in 2014. Sixty-two thousand accidents resulted in serious injury due to speeding and driving under the influence. The numbers don’t lie. Californians need a car insurance provider that will see them through the thick and thin, and it looks like California has chosen.



Mercury Insurance

Founded in Los Angeles by a man named George Joseph in 1962, Joseph built the insurance company on three pillars: service, savings and security. Rated as one of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies by Forbes Magazine three years in a row, Mercury Insurance has continued to provide clients with superb services since its inception over 50 years ago.



Progressive Insurance

Serving the public for 79 years and counting, Progressive insurance was the very first insurance company to offer its customers a choice between paying one flat annual fee for their services or a monthly premium. This gave customers more room to breathe when it came to making their payments. With more than $14 billion in car insurance plans covering vehicles, motorcycles, RVs and boats, Progressive has served their community in more ways than one.



Safeco Insurance

In 1923, Safeco founder Hawthorne K. Dent set out to build an insurance company that treated customers fairly and with respect. The company, then named the General Insurance Company of America, offered excellent service at competitive pricing. Christened Safeco in 1953 and becoming part of the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in 2008, Safeco specializes in personal insurance.



There are three things the three companies above have in common: good service, competitive rates and personal insurance know-how. Let CoverHound help you get your quote today.
