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 high-risk drivers

Progressive

4.4··—+ FICO

Industry-leading underwriting for high-risk profiles — DUI, multiple accidents, lapsed coverage. The Snapshot telematics program rewards safe driving with 10–30% discounts after 6 months. Premiums for clean records are middling but the high-risk niche is best-in-class.

Progressive 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.
