We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.
We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.
- Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
- Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 28,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
- Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
- Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
- Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

I also have my homeowners insurance with them. I had a fire in my hot water heater and a year later, someone stayed in my house while I was gone for 2 months. I came home to a floating kitchen floor. After these incidents, StateFarm cancelled my policy.

My Opinion
How to get the cheapest car insurance in Colorado Springs
Several factors affect the costs of car insurance, such as age, driving history, and choice of vehicle. Luckily, you can save on car insurance by using the following strategies:[1]
Choose a higher deductible. Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket on a claim before your insurance kicks in. Generally, drivers with higher collision and comprehensive deductibles pay lower monthly car insurance rates. Liability coverage doesn’t have a deductible.
Look for discounts. When you sign up for a policy, it’s a good idea to check your company’s website or ask your agent for discounts. Most companies reward drivers who practice safe driving, install safety features, or purchase other policies, such as homeowners insurance or renters insurance, from the same insurer.
Pick a safe car. Fancy sports cars are considered high-risk, meaning they have a higher chance of leading to expensive claims. Choose a vehicle with a strong safety record and safety features in order to save on car insurance.
Shop around. Different companies offer different rates. The best way to find the lowest rate is to receive quotes from several companies, then compare them side by side using an online comparison tool.

---|---|
Bodily injury liability | $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident |

Colorado is an at-fault state, which means the at-fault driver’s liability insurance will cover damages after an accident.[3] Colorado Springs drivers looking for some added protection should consider the following optional coverages:
Collision coverage
Collision insurance covers your own vehicle’s repairs after a collision, regardless of who’s at fault. This includes collisions with other vehicles, and objects such as a tree, fence, or light pole. It also covers rollover accidents and pothole damage.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays for repairs to your vehicle after a non-collision event, such as fire, severe weather, or theft.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
If you get in an accident with a driver who doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage will pay for your repairs and medical bills. This also covers hit-and-run accidents.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Drivers who have an incident on their driving record — such as speeding tickets, driving under the influence, or at-fault accidents — pay higher car insurance rates on average. Auto insurance companies will see you as a higher risk for future claims and raise your rates to offset that risk. How much your rates go up will vary based on the severity of the violation.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket: State Farm
Colorado drivers can face steep fines if they get a speeding ticket on their driving record — along with higher car insurance rates for three to five years. On average, drivers with speeding tickets pay $350 per month for full coverage and $138 for liability-only insurance in Colorado Springs.
