Best multi-quote tool

LendingTree Insurance

4.5··—+ FICO

Largest carrier network in the marketplace category — including regional and non-standard insurers competitors miss. Phone follow-up is opt-in but more aggressive than The Zebra.

Best for new-car replacement

Farmers

4.1··—+ FICO

New Car Replacement coverage (free for the first 24,000 miles or 2 model years) is unique among the top-10 carriers — if you total a new car, Farmers buys you a brand-new replacement, not just depreciated value. Premiums run 30-40% above GEICO so this is a niche pick for new-car buyers.

In plain English

Farmers wins on both dimensions — lower APR floor (undefined% vs undefined%) AND lower credit floor (null+ vs null+ FICO). LendingTree Insurance can still be the better fit when application speed or loan-amount ceilings matter more — see the verdicts below.
