Our Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 (Excellent)

Allied Home Insurance is a division of Nationwide, one of the most financially stable and respected insurers in the country. Nationwide has been in business for over 90 years and is one of the country's highest-rated insurance companies in terms of its financial strength. It offers consumers an unusually wide array of customizable insurance options. The company is a solid choice, particularly for those who prefer to deal with their insurers in person or over the phone, rather than through an internet connection.

Customer Experience

Customer Service - 4 / 5

The company is accredited by the BBB, with an A+ rating. It has a very low NAIC ratio of 0.38, suggesting a much smaller than average number of consumer complaints than usual for a comparably-sized company. As a legacy insurer, Nationwide gives its customers the options of interacting through call-based agents as well as via the internet or phone. The company's website provides functional, essential services.
