*The NAIC Car Insurance complaint ratio (in this case 0.62) compares a company’s performance to other companies in the market. The median complaint ratio across all car insurance companies is 1. A score below 1 means the company received fewer than the expected number of complaints. A score above 1 means the company received a more than the expected number of complaints.

Claims Satisfaction & Customer Experience - 3.5 / 5

Under its Commerce Insurance Company name, Mapfre has an NAIC Complaint Ratio of 0.62, substantially lower than the median complaint ratio.

Its A+ rating on BBB, 4.1 rating on TrustPilot, and only 31 complaints on NAIC speak to Mapfre’s overall customer satisfaction. However, J.D. Power’s 2020 U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study has Mapfre second-to-last, well below the industry average.
