Best-rated Wyoming motorcycle insurers

Finding the best deal on motorcycle insurance is important, but it's equally important that you can depend on your insurer if you have to file a claim. The two ways we measure a company's level of service are the NAIC Complaint Index and the company's AM Best Financial Strength Rating. Nationwide has the best customer service score in Wyoming, and USAA maintains the highest rank for financial strength.

The NAIC Complaint Index compares a company's number of complaints with its share of the market. The average score is 1.0, and numbers below 1.0 indicate fewer complaints. NAIC combines car and motorcycle insurance into a single industry category, so scores are based on customer experience for both motorcycle and car insurance policyholders.

AM Best ratings measure a company's ability to withstand financial hardships, like an increase in claims or economic downturn. A company with a high AM Best rating is more likely to continue paying out claims and serving their customers in difficult times.
