How to Find the Best Home Insurance in Missouri

If you’re looking for the best homeowners insurance in Missouri, it’s important to choose a company that balances affordability with quality service, financial stability and a good claims rating. MoneyGeek has ranked the best insurers in the state based on these criteria. However, you can also perform your own research to find the best company for your needs.

Research Customer Service Reputations in Missouri

Power and complaint ratios provided by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). You can check the Missouri Department of Insurance website for more information too.

2

Compare Quotes for Yourself

The quotes MoneyGeek collected are averages for sample homeowners from insurers across most of Missouri. But our process did not cover the entire state. While doing your research, it’s a good idea to compare quotes from a minimum of three insurance companies to get a good idea of home insurance rates in the state.

3

Make Sure the Company Has Coverages You Want in Missouri

Leading insurers advertise many coverages and discounts that they offer with their policies. However, before making a decision, make sure that the policy includes all the coverages you need (and discounts you want) and that the insurer offers them in your state and zip code.

Double-Check Financial Stability Ratings

You should also double-check the financial health of the insurer before making a decision. Typically, larger insurance companies are more financially stable, whereas regional insurers in Missouri may have lower stability ratings. Insurers with good financial ratings are better able to pay out claims.
