Methodology: Why you can trust our list of the largest home insurance companies
To find the largest home insurance companies in the country, Policygenius analyzed data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The NAIC's Property and Casualty Market Share Report, which was published in July 2022, lists the total written premiums and market share — nationally and at the state level — for the top 125 insurance groups in the country.
To get the average rates for each insurer, we analyzed home insurance rates provided by Quadrant Information Services in March 2022 for ZIP codes in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., for a 40-year-old female homeowner with no claim history, good credit, a $1,000 deductible, and the following coverage limits:
Dwelling: $300,000
Other structures: $30,000
Personal property: $150,000
Loss of use: $60,000
Liability: $300,000
Medical: $1,000
All rates based on the above coverage limits except where otherwise noted.
Some carriers may be represented by affiliates or subsidiaries. Rates provided are a sample of costs. Your actual quotes may differ.

Frequently asked questions
What makes an insurance company the largest?
The largest insurance companies are the ones that make up the most market share in the industry.
What’s the best homeowners insurance company?
The best homeowners insurance company in our 2023 analysis is Auto-Owners Insurance, thanks to its mix of extensive policy and coverage options, high marks for financial strength and customer experience ratings, and affordable premiums.
Who is the largest homeowners insurance company in the United States?
State Farm is the largest homeowners insurance company, making up over 18% of the market share.
Which company has the highest customer satisfaction score?
Amica remains the standard-bearer of customer satisfaction in residential property insurance, scoring highest in J.D. Power's customer experience survey in every year except one since 2002.
The study determined overall customer satisfaction by examining five factors: interaction, policy offerings, price, billing process and policy information, and claims.
Are large insurance companies better than smaller ones?
Not always. While a larger insurance company is likely to have been around longer and have more financial stability than its smaller counterparts, smaller insurers may offer lower rates or other benefits that the larger companies can’t provide. Large insurance companies are more likely to offer nationwide coverage, but smaller insurers are often the better choice for homeowners who had a lapse in coverage or have high-risk homes.
