GenXers top picks show quite a range. USAA and ACSC both have requirements to obtain insurance: a military affiliation for USAA and AAA membership for ACSC. The General, in third place, is known to insure drivers who may not have a perfect record.

Penny Gusner, consumer analyst for Insure.com, observes, "Drivers of this age are often are in their prime years to work and have a family, and they have factors which can be expensive for auto insurance, such as multiple cars to insure and teens beginning to drive. GenXers are looking for a good value in bundling and specific discounts in order to offset the costs."

Methodology

Insure.com commissioned Op4G to survey more than 3,700 insurance customers nationwide in June 2016. The survey collected customer ratings for 20 leading companies in the auto category.

Auto insurers were ranked according to a weighted 5-point measurement of the following factors: customer service, value for price, claims processing, would renew and would recommend. Weighted measurements were derived from surveyed policyholders' rank of prioritization of these factors.
