AssuranceAmerica car insurance review

AssuranceAmerica car insurance aims to offer coverage at affordable prices. It also focuses on providing products to those who require an SR-22 form or are considered high-risk, which might include drivers with previous DUI/DWI convictions or drivers with multiple at-fault accidents or tickets on their record. If you fit AssuranceAmerica’s target driver profile and live in one of the 10 states where the company offers coverage, you may want to consider getting a quote.

However, AssuranceAmerica only sells insurance through a network of independent agents and offers no details about its coverage options or potential discounts online — but online quotes are available. If you prefer to do business with a digital-focused company that allows you to thoroughly research its products online before buying, AssuranceAmerica may not be the right fit.

The carrier also places a strong emphasis on the customer and agent relationship. As a result, this insurer offers limited capabilities in its mobile app and online, but does keep extended hours for customer support.
