How Bankrate chose the best car insurance companies in Wisconsin

To find the best auto insurance in Wisconsin, Bankrate’s insurance editorial team started by reviewing average premiums sourced from Quadrant Information Services. However, quality isn’t always tied to price.

To find the best auto insurance for Wisconsin drivers, we also reviewed coverage options, digital tool availability and customer service hours, along with other essential metrics. Then, we weighted this information to calculate a proprietary Bankrate Score. Bankrate Scores range from 0.0 to 5.0 — the higher a carrier’s score, the better it fared. Our scoring method is intended to give our readers a quick way to evaluate insurance companies and decide which carriers to request quotes from.

Methodology

Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze 2024 rates for ZIP codes and carriers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates are weighted based on the population density in each geographic region. Quoted rates are based on a 40-year-old male and female driver with a clean driving record, good credit and the following full coverage limits:

  • $100,000 bodily injury liability per person
  • $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident
  • $50,000 property damage liability per accident
  • $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per person
  • $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per accident
  • $500 collision deductible
  • $500 comprehensive deductible

To determine minimum coverage limits, Bankrate used minimum coverage that meets each state’s requirements. Our base profile drivers own a 2022 Toyota Camry, commute five days a week and drive 12,000 miles annually.

These are sample rates and should only be used for comparative purposes.
