NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast · Insurance in 2026: Best Auto, Home, Life, and Pet Insurance Picks—Plus a Wake-Up Call on Credit Card Debt · 15 Jan 2026 podcast

So that's our very first criteria, just to chop down that selection pool to a more reasonable level.

The other thing we do right off the bat is consider complaint information from the NAIC.

So the National Association of Insurance Commissioners has complaint data on all the major insurers, and we remove anyone from selection that has an above-average rate of complaints.

That whittles it down a little bit more.

And then for the remaining insurers, we're looking at sort of specific criteria for each award.

So two of the awards, I believe, are budget-friendly.

So for those awards, we're really looking at average rate across the country.

And then if there's a tie, we might be relying on NerdWallet's star rating to break that tie in that case.

For life insurance, we're looking at sort of a same-day life insurance, term life insurance award.

And for that, we're looking at, does the insurer offer online coverage?

How easy is it to get?

And then how much insurance coverage can I get?

to determine that award.

And then last but not least, pet insurance.

We're sort of looking at the most comprehensive coverage available for an affordable rate and what that coverage might include or exclude.

So those are sort of all the things that come into play as we determine these awards.

Do we want a drum roll?

We've got to make insurance exciting, right?

So our best budget-friendly auto insurance is maybe not a surprise.

For 2026, this is GEICO.
