Positive Customer Reviews

Travelers Car Insurance reviews on BestCompany.com are primarily 4 or 5 stars. These ratings show a high level of customer satisfaction with the insurance provider.

Praise in 4- and 5-star reviews include fair pricing, good customer service, and claims satisfaction.

High Financial Strength Ratings

Travelers has received high financial strength ratings from the industry's common rating agencies. 

These ratings indicate an insurer's financial stability, which indicates its ability to meet its claims obligations. A high financial strength rating shows you can depend on the insurance provider.

High ratings are common among top insurance companies, and you can be confident when choosing a policy from Travelers.

Standard Coverage Options

Like many auto insurers, Travelers offers a range of coverage that you can include in your policy. When assembling your auto insurance policy, you can choose from the following:

  • Liability coverage
  • Comprehensive coverage
  • Collision coverage
  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage
  • Medical payments coverage
  • Loan or lease gap insurance
  • Rental reimbursement
  • Roadside assistance (two options with different levels of coverage)

If you want extra liability coverage, you can purchase an umbrella insurance policy from Travelers.

Policies for Rideshare Drivers

Rideshare insurance coverage is also available in Colorado and Illinois. This coverage ensures that you never drive without insurance because it fills the gap between when your personal policy ends and when your rideshare company's policy starts.

It's becoming more common for insurers to offer a rideshare insurance product, so Travelers's rideshare policy makes it a competitive in the car insurance industry.

Good Discounts

Travelers offers many ways for you to save on your auto policy. You can benefit from the multi-policy discount, mulit-year, homeownership, safe driver, continuous insurance, hybrid or electric vehicle, new car, EFT (electronic funds transfer) or payroll deduction, paid in full, good payer, early quote, good student, student away at school discount, or the driver training discount.

The continuous insurance discount is nice because you're eligible even if it's your first policy with Travelers as long as you've had continuous auto insurance through another company.

Travelers also offers affinity programs. Employers, associations, and credit unions can join these programs. If you're an employee or member of any of these participating groups, you can benefit from additional savings and perks.

With so many opportunities to save, Travelers is a great insurer to work with for good coverage and good savings.

IntelliDrive® Program

Travelers IntelliDrive® Program offers another way to get a discount and customize your rate. This 90-day program scores your driving from your phone. You’ll receive a discount for participating and a final discount at the end of the program based on your driving habits. In some cases, you may end up with a higher premium after the program.

You’ll use the IntelliDrive® app to check your performance, statistics, and your streak of trips without using your phone. The app measures when you drive, how fast, your acceleration, braking, and any distractions.

You’ll get personalized driving tips and can review trip details from the app, too. Not only does the app help you drive safer, you’ll also be rewarded when you do.

These discount programs are common for the car insurance industry, so Travelers's program makes it competitive.

The Bad

  • Coverage Can Vary by State

Coverage Can Vary by State

The policies and coverage that Travelers offers can vary by state. One nice feature of Travelers’s site is that you can see a sample auto policy from each state. This feature helps you get a sense of what your coverage may look like without providing the personal information required for a quote.

I’ve used Travelers since 2019. My rates have gone up but very much within reason. I’ve not had a claim yet but expect that when I do, they will be professional and courteous.

I had a gallon of paint open up in the back of my brand new Subaru Forester bc Home Depot didn't close it all thew way after mixing, Travelers was amazing, they arranged a car rental for me to have and I dropped off the car and waited basically. They dealt with Home Depot to reimburse for the damages which ended up TOTALING my car!!! Crazy. Only down side was Travelers required the car to be detailed before moving forward and detailers are super backed up here in Boise so it took almost 2 weeks and the detail work did NOTHING. I had called a detailer when it initially happened and he said not to bother that even if you get paint right when it spills it will never look the same as it did before the paint was there and that you just need to replace all the parts. I understand that Travelers has their own policy and I just had to follow the rules. Overall, I got a new new car, my premium didn't go up and they finished the entire process. Would recommend them

We have been Travelers customers for several years now. Unfortunately I had a car problem while out on a weekend and had to have the car towed to a dealership for evaluation and repair. Not thinking straight I called a local tow company, but a few days later it occurred to me that roadside assistance was a feature on our particular policy. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Travelers was willing to reimburse me by just submitting a receipt for the tow services. This was my first interaction with Travelers from a claims perspective and I definitely expected some fine print or policy about using preferred providers to prevent my claim for reimbursement, but it was so simple. My check also arrived surprisingly fast. I am a very thankful Travelers customer!

Travelers insurance is pretty good and pretty understanding especially when you are facing a home disaster crisis. When my formers home was flooded from a plumbing issue they came and took care of everything and they helped recover some of the items that were lost or damage and they the price paid monthly is well worth it and a great investment. Highly recommended

My husband and I have been covered by Travelers for over 4 years (for home, auto, as well as some personal possessions) and have had a great experience from quote, to purchase, to renewal. We check the market annually for competitive rates and have never had any other vendors compare on cost or customer service quality. I will say that we have not needed to make a claim (knock on wood) since we have had them.

From another star just recently switched over to Travelers from a different agency. Really helpful my insurance agent is very helpful very knowledgeable. My father has been with Travelers for years and I am glad that I switched over. I feel like I'm in really good hands I would definitely recommend this to friends and family. I recently have had two friends switch over and they have been very happy with the results.

The Travelers Mobile App is the best part! It is so easy to review and manage my policies all in one place on the mobile app. I recently used my free roadside assistance with my auto insurance plan and my rates didn't even change. I love Travelers for my auto insurance!

Best auto insurance so far. They keep seeming to beat other rates so I've stuck with them. I haven't had to make any auto claims but bundled with home and had to make a claim due to a wind storm this year. They were great to work with and everything went as promised.

My wife damaged her car when we had Travelers auto insurance. We were VERY VERY pleased with Travelers. They did not try to use cheap parts, they allowed us to use a top quality shop to perform the repairs. They paid very fast and every employee we dealt with was wonderful. Great experience.

I believe Travelers judged me based on my driving record and the quote I received was excessive. However, the agent with whom I talked let me know exactly what the insurance companies were viewing to provide a "heads up" on why my insurance was so expensive. Luckily, for me, I was able to contact the company that did the errors, contact Lexus N. to file a dispute to get my record cleared. Without the assistance of the agent for Travelers would never have known this error was on my record and could have experience cheaper rates all this time. Thank you, Travelers!

Travelers are great when it comes to their rates, but it's hard to get ahold of them. I tried for weeks to get ahold of the agent and it never happened not until I complained and they sent me their customer service number.

Loved this company and I was completely satisfied with everything from customer service to my car and home coverage. Until the company decided to do a sweeping across the board premium hike. I called to inquire about the increase and was informed by a very honest customer service rep that many customers were calling and none we happy. I changed companies.

When we bought our new hybrid car we switched over to Travelers insurance because of the huge discount they give for new cars and Hybrids! Double bonus for us, but that is not the only reason. They give forgiveness for one accident and one minor violation. I highly recommend Travelers if you have multiple drivers.

I was with Travelers when I was struck by a car who was trying to pass me on a double yellow line as I was turning left. Travelers decided the accident was my fault and tried to put me into a risk pool even though this was my first accident in over twenty years. The claims person was not competent, my mistake was not calling the police and having a report taken.

When I called Travelers for a quote they were friendly and seemed knowledgable but their rates were higher than my current carrier. I didn't think there was enough difference to change since I already knew my current carrier rep and had been well taken care of in the past.

Currently I’m giving the company 1 star. Travelers isn’t my insurance company , but they represent the guy who hit my car. Garrett ( insurance agent) has been dealing with my claim. The first few weeks he was fast to take care of things. Travelers wrote me a check for half the cost of fixing my car. Once they pay for my repair and car rental , I will update this review.
