Why our Smart Score matters

Secura’s Smart Score of 81 was created by combining weighted averages of ratings for customer service, claims process, and value for price from 3rd party sources as well as our own research. We view these as the most important factors since they cover the entire experience of shopping for, maintaining, and making a claim on an insurance policy.

Combining these metrics and sources provides the most accurate and broad-based analysis of what matters most when considering Secura’s overall quality compared to other auto insurers.

Secura Auto Official Complaints

Auto Official Complaints

Better than average

Tracks how many more or less official complaints Secura has than average. With an index of 0.35 Secura is better than average.


The complaint index comes from two variables for each year and type of insurance.

  • The percentage of how many complaints Secura has filed against them with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) compared to the total number of complaints filed with every company.

  • The percentage of how much insurance business (total policy premiums) Secura has compared to the total amount of business of all the other companies.

By weighting complaints and business against their totals, and then dividing share of compliants by share of the market, we get the index value. With 1.0 being an average number of complaints, a 0.5 would be half as many complaints. With an index of 0.35 Secura is better than average.

Secura Auto Discounts

While all companies offer a range of auto insurance discounts, it's hard to judge any individual discount's value in a meaningful way. For one, the discounts are typically a percentage off the base price, instead of the whole policy.

What does this mean?

Your best bet is to directly discuss your particular situation with an agent to make sure you're getting all the discounts that you may be eligible for on your auto policy. For reference, we've listed all the discounts we believe Secura has below in order to help determine which ones may fit your profile (though keep in mind that they can vary by state).

Available OptionDiscount DataWhat it means
Anti Theft Device

Varies

This discount is for cars with alarms and other theft deterrents. It typically only applies to comprehensive coverage, however.

Accident Free

Varies

Tied to drivers on the policy and any accidents in their record. though insurers generally only consider the past 3 to 5 years.

Multiple Policy

Varies

While insurers are out to protect drivers, they also need to make money, and they tend to make more when a customer has multiple products (policies) with them. As a result, they can offer savings when drivers pair their car policy with another (home, renters, umbrella, etc.) policy.
