La popularidad es una estimación, de 0 a 100, de la frecuencia con que la gente busca cada aseguradora en Google; las barras indican la fiabilidad de la estimación. No es una calificación de la aseguradora. Cómo funciona el índice

El domicilio de una aseguradora es el estado o territorio donde está constituida, y el supervisor de esa jurisdicción es su supervisor principal. Aquí el domicilio procede de las filas del registro: el registro del Departamento de Seguros de Texas indica el estado de domicilio de cada compañía, y una cautiva inscrita en el registro de cautivas de Vermont está domiciliada en Vermont. Por eso, la lista de un estado reúne las aseguradoras de este directorio con sede legal allí, no el registro propio de su supervisor con todas las aseguradoras que autoriza.

Para ver en qué estados está autorizada una compañía, use la búsqueda nacional de la NAIC, que abarca todos los estados: NAIC Consumer Insurance Search
