Best RI car insurance for bundling home and auto

Homeownership comes with enough surprises already. The right auto policy should do the opposite, providing financial protection for your household when accidents happen and bills get messy. That’s one reason many homeowners consider bundling auto and home insurance, which can simplify what you manage and open up discounts.

Even if you keep home and auto with different insurers, though, homeownership may still earn you benefits. Some carriers reward it with special discounts or higher coverage limits that better suit homeowner needs. In Rhode Island, Jerry sees most home-owning customers choosing Progressive, GEICO and Liberty Mutual for their auto coverage, with or without bundling those policies.

Here’s what each top carrier offers and why Jerry customers pick them most often.

Best car insurance for RI families with teen drivers

If you’re adding a teen driver in Rhode Island, brace yourself for sticker shock. Even families with strong credit, a clean claims history, and safe vehicles can see a sudden premium jump once a new driver hits the policy. What matters most is finding a carrier that prices teen risk reasonably for your household, not just accepting the default renewal. Jerry has helped 66 RI families with teen drivers save an average of $1,658 annually, most often with Progressive.

1. Progressive

Customer rating based on average rating by Jerry customers that have children of driving age in the past 12 months.

• Why we recommend Progressive:

  • If your policy covers multiple vehicles, a listed teen is typically covered driving any vehicle on that policy.

  • Deductible Savings Bank can reduce comp or collision deductibles each claim-free policy period while enrolled.
  • Beyond price, Jerry customers most frequently praise Progressive for its robust app and variety of discounts.

Best car insurance for RI college students

College can turn a “set it and forget it” policy into a moving target. A driver might change addresses, drive fewer miles, or keep a car on campus for part of the year and at home for the rest. If your policy doesn’t keep up, you can end up overpaying, underprotected or both.

Jerry has helped 410 college students in Rhode Island find affordable coverage that still protects them whether they’re on or off campus, driving home for the summer or something in between. Progressive, GEICO and Liberty Mutual are the top choices for Jerry college students in this state. Here’s what each carrier offers and why it stands out.

Best RI car insurance for drivers with violations

If you’ve got a ticket, at-fault accident or DUI, you’ve probably already felt the insurance penalty. Insurers often treat violations as an instant high-risk label, which can drive up premiums and shrink your coverage choices. But high-risk doesn’t mean “no good options.”

Jerry has helped 1,162 Rhode Island drivers with violations find coverage this past year at affordable prices, and we keep an eye on your rates so you’ll know when it makes sense to shop again after violations fall off your record and you can potentially save even more.

For many Jerry drivers with violations, the most common coverage wins come from Progressive, GEICO and Liberty Mutual — carriers that tend to be more open to Rhode Island drivers with dings on their record.

Car insurance options for RI military families

Active-duty, reserve, guard or veteran, military life can change your driving patterns fast, from long stretches off the road to sudden moves across state lines. Jerry has helped Rhode Island military families find coverage that works for deployments, PCS moves and the in-between months.

If you qualify for military-focused insurers, start there. Then widen the search, many standard insurers also offer strong military discounts and flexible policy options, and Jerry can compare them for you.

Here’s how to think about your options.

Option A: Military-only insurers to check directly

Some insurers are built specifically for military members and their families, including USAA, Navy Federal, Armed Forces Insurance and similar providers.

If you’re eligible, they belong on your short list. They’re designed around deployments, PCS orders and frequent moves, and often offer storage or reduced-use options when a car sits on base or at home during deployment. Their service teams also tend to understand military pay, orders and timelines in a way civilian-focused insurers sometimes don’t.

Because of how these insurers operate, Jerry can’t always show live quotes or internal ratings for them. If you qualify, the smart move is to:

1. Use Jerry to see how strong your options are with standard insurers, then
2. Get a direct quote from one or more military-only insurers and compare.

That way, you’re not guessing. You’re benchmarking their offer against real market pricing.

Option B: Standard insurers with strong military benefits (that Jerry can quote)

Beyond military-only insurers, some national carriers offer military discounts, handle deployments and cross-state moves smoothly and plug directly into Jerry’s quoting and switching experience.

For many RI military families, GEICO, State Farm and Progressive show up often.

1. GEICO

Best for: Discounts plus flexible coverage during deployments

Why it often works well for service members:

• Military discounts and options to scale coverage when driving drops.

• 24/7 support for OCONUS time zones and uneven schedules.

• App-first access to policy docs, proof of insurance, claims and quick updates.

2. State Farm

Best for: PCS moves and consistent local support

Why it often works well:

• A huge agent footprint for continuity when you move.

• Plenty of nearby agents in military-heavy areas.

• Easy bundling when you add home or condo coverage.

3. Progressive

Best for: Frequent updates and self-serve changes

Why it could be a good fit:

• Competitive rates across a wide set of situations, including movers.

• Strong digital tools for address, mileage and garaging changes.

• Add-ons like rental and roadside for support away from home.

Jerry can’t claim to “rank” USAA or Navy Federal against these carriers, but we can quickly show how GEICO, State Farm, Progressive and other standard insurers price your specific situation in Rhode Island.
