Best VT 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 Vermont, Jerry sees most home-owning customers choosing Progressive, GEICO and Safeco 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 VT families with teen drivers

In Vermont, teen drivers are typically one of the priciest additions you can make, and the cost increase can last for years if you don’t have the right carrier and structure. The upside is that different insurers handle teen drivers very differently, so families often have room to save without cutting corners on coverage. Jerry has helped 19 VT families with teen drivers save an average of $1,857 annually, primarily with Progressive.

Here’s a look at what those top carriers offer and why Jerry customers choose them most often.

College can change your insurance setup overnight, especially when a driver is bouncing between home and campus, driving less or taking a car out of town.

Jerry has helped 1,646 college students in Vermont find affordable coverage that still protects them on and off campus. Progressive and Safeco are frequent winners in this group. Here’s why.

Best VT 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 1,163 Vermont 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 Vermont drivers with dings on their record.

Car insurance options for VT military families

Whether active-duty, reservist, guard, or veteran, military life changes the way you drive, store your car and move across states. Jerry has helped Vermont military families find coverage that fits deployments, PCS moves and everything in between.

If you qualify for military-focused insurers, they should always be part of the conversation. At the same time, many standard insurers offer strong military discounts and flexible policies that Jerry can quote and compare for you.

Here’s how to think about your options.

Option A: Military-only insurers to check directly

A few companies are built specifically for military households, including USAA, Navy Federal, Armed Forces Insurance and similar providers.

If you’re eligible, start by including them on your shortlist. These insurers are structured for deployments, PCS orders and frequent relocations, and often include storage or reduced-use options when your car is parked on base or at home during deployment. Their support teams also tend to be fluent in military pay, orders and timing, which can make the process smoother.

Because these insurers run differently, Jerry can’t always provide live quotes or internal ratings for them. If you qualify, a practical approach is:

1. Use Jerry to compare strong standard-insurer options, then
2. Request a direct quote from one or more military-only insurers and compare.

This keeps the decision grounded in real numbers, not assumptions.

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

Even if you qualify for military-only insurers, it’s worth looking at national carriers that offer military discounts, manage deployments and multi-state moves well and are fully integrated with Jerry’s quoting and switching flow.

For many VT military families, GEICO, State Farm and Progressive are often part of the comparison.

1. GEICO

Best for: Discounts and practical flexibility during deployments

Why it often works well for service members:

• Military discounts and ways to adjust coverage when you deploy or drive less.

• 24/7 support that holds up across time zones, including OCONUS.

• App-based policy access for proof of insurance, claims and quick changes.

2. State Farm

Best for: PCS continuity and local agent support

Why it often works well:

• One of the largest agent networks, useful if you move often.

• Agents in many base-adjacent communities.

• Bundling that stays simple when you add home or condo coverage.

3. Progressive

Best for: Households that need fast updates

Why it can be a good fit:

• Strong pricing across many scenarios, including frequent movers.

• Digital tools for updating garaging address, mileage and policy details.

• Add-ons like rental and roadside for coverage that travels better.

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