Infinity insurance review 2023

Bankrate’s insurance editorial team analyzed more than 100 insurance companies, and according to our assessment, Infinity car insurance could be a good choice for drivers who have difficulty finding coverage with standard carriers. Founded in 1955 in Birmingham, Alabama, Infinity Insurance specializes in nonstandard auto insurance for high-risk drivers. As such, people who cannot purchase regular car insurance from other insurance carriers due to a DUI conviction, poor driving record or claims history might find coverage with Infinity.

Acquired by Kemper Insurance in 2018, Infinity still operates under its own name in California, with its branches in all other states now transitioned under Kemper Auto. This means that while Kemper may be available across the country, Infinity is technically a California-only company. Compared to some of the best car insurance companies, Infinity’s coverage options are limited. 

In addition to the standard coverage types that you would expect (bodily injury and property damage, for instance), roadside assistance and rental reimbursement may be available. In addition to providing nonstandard coverage, Infinity provides SR-22 certificate filings, which may be needed to reinstate your license if it has been suspended.

Infinity home insurance is offered through a network of non-affiliated independent insurance providers. Infinity does not underwrite its policies, nor can you bundle a home and auto insurance policy, unlike some of the best homeowners insurance companies. To learn more about Infinity’s home insurance policies, prospective customers should contact the company’s customer support.

Because Infinity does not underwrite its own homeowners insurance policies, it is difficult to say what coverage types are available. A description of included coverage options in the homeowners insurance policy is also not available online. However, some basic coverage options that are part of standard homeowners policies include dwelling, other structures, personal property and liability. If you are looking for coverage add-ons, sewer backup and replacement cost are popular options that you may want to ask about.

Like its homeowners insurance product, Infinity life insurance policies are underwritten through undisclosed, non-affiliated companies. Because of this, speaking with a licensed agent and requesting a life insurance quote is the best way to know what policy types or riders are available. For more information, please contact the company directly.

Bankrate’s Infinity Insurance review has revealed that this company could be a good choice for California drivers seeking nonstandard insurance. However, you may still have questions on if Infinity is the right company for you. If you want some additional options, or if you live outside of California, you may want to consider requesting quotes from the carriers below:

Bankrate has been a trusted voice in the financial services sector since 1976, and to better support our readers in understanding their coverage needs, four members of our editorial team are licensed agents. As a whole, our insurance editorial team has nearly 50 years of combined industry experience and we leverage our knowledge to conduct comprehensive company reviews. Our goal is to give you a clear and honest view of an insurance company and its offerings.

With that said, Infinity insurance may not be for everyone, but it could be an excellent choice for high-risk drivers in California. Many companies may not provide coverage to those with multiple incidents on their record or don’t provide SR-22 filings, but Infinity may be able to help in these situations. However, if you’re a Californian with standard risk who values customer service and a highly-rated mobile app, you may have better options. To see if Infinity is a good fit for you, you might find it helpful to contact the company or go online to request a quote.

Infinity customer complaints

Bankrate’s insurance editorial team also reviews the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Complaint Index Report. Through it, the NAIC keeps track of the customer complaints it receives about an insurance company as a whole and complaints for individual product lines. It then converts the number of complaints into an index score. If an insurance company gets an average number of complaints for a company of its size, it will have a complaint index score of 1.0. If the company has more complaints than average, its index score will be higher than 1.0, and vice versa — a score lower than 1.0 indicates fewer complaints than average.

Other Infinity tools and benefits

For the most part, Infinity offers no-frills non-standard car insurance for drivers who may have trouble finding coverage elsewhere. However, the company does offer a few perks, including:

• Mobile app: Infinity's mobile app reviews indicate that it may have functionality issues, but it could be a tool worth considering for those that prefer to take a hands-on approach to their car insurance.
• Commercial auto: If you use your vehicle for business purposes, you may have unique risk exposures that a traditional personal auto policy may not cover. This is where a commercial auto policy from Infinity may help.
• Commercial general liability: Infinity's commercial general liability (CGL) policy can provide essential liability coverage, legal fee coverage and financial protection against slander and libel for those who own their own business.
• Knowledge center: Infinity's knowledge center is a repository of informational articles that may help you better understand your car insurance.
• Infinity Driver Club: This is a service that anyone, even non-Infinity customers, can use for roadside assistance. Instead of paying an annual fee, members can enroll in the program and pay for services as needed.
• Kemper Repair Network: Infinity customers can repair their vehicles at a facility that is part of a repair network run by their parent company. Although you can choose your repair shop, choosing one of Kemper’s partner facilities does mean that the repairs are guaranteed for as long as you own the car.

Frequently asked questions about Infinity

Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze 2023 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 40-year-old male and female homeowners with a clean claim history, good credit and the following coverage limits:

Auto

• $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 sample drivers own a 2021 Toyota Camry, commute five days a week and drive 12,000 miles annually.

Age: Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the ages 16-60 (base: 40 years) applied. Depending on age, drivers may be a renter or homeowner. Age is not a contributing rating factor in Hawaii and Massachusetts.

The rates for drivers ages 16–20 added to their parents’ policy reflect the good student and driver's training discounts applied. The rates for drivers aged 16-20 on their own policy do not include the good student and driver's training discounts. Additionally, 25-year-old rates are based on the driver as a renter and 30+ on the driver as a homeowner.

Incidents: Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the following incidents applied: clean record (base), single speeding ticket and single at-fault accident.
