Mercury Insurance has been nominated for Newsweek’s Readers’ Choice Award for Best Auto Insurance in 2026, for Best Auto Insurance, recognizing companies that deliver real value, reliable coverage, and a standout customer experience.
Mercury Insurance stands apart by choosing to serve customers others leave behind. More than 60 years of experience reflect a focus on making auto and homeowners coverage accessible and fairly priced, even as many insurers reduce exposure in higher-risk markets. An “A” rating from A.M. Best and recognition Insure.com as one of America’s best insurance companies reinforce a consistent track record of value and service.
That same commitment extends across every line of coverage, including auto. Wildfires devastated Paradise, California in 2018, destroying more than 18,000 structures and limiting access to insurance. Many insurers withdrew. Mercury chose to return. The company worked directly with residents, town leaders, emergency officials, and state leaders to better understand wildfire risk and develop a path to insure more homes. These efforts reflect a broader approach: showing up for customers and communities when others step back.
Rising climate risk and economic pressure continue to make coverage less available across the industry. Many insurers have responded by limiting exposure or exiting markets. Mercury has taken a different approach by investing in data, underwriting expertise, and risk modeling to maintain access to coverage while pricing responsibly.
Mercury continues to put drivers first by keeping coverage accessible and fairly priced, even as choices become more limited across the industry. That commitment is exactly why your vote matters.
This nomination reflects the trust customers place in Mercury and the responsibility that comes with it. It reinforces the company’s core purpose: We help our customers prepare for and overcome life’s unexpected challenges.
If Mercury has helped you stay protected, save on your policy, or navigate a difficult moment, now is the time to make your voice heard. Cast your vote for Mercury Insurance in Newsweek’s Best Auto Insurance category and help more drivers discover a company that shows up when it counts.
