It is important to look into the financial stability of a carrier to choose a top rated auto insurance company. The financial strength of a carrier will reinforce its ability to pay out claims. An unstable insurer may be susceptible to bankruptcy; therefore, leading to unpaid claims. Independent rating agencies such as AM Best give each a letter grade that determines its financial strength. Rating scale used by AM Best:
A++ and A+ (Superior) = superior ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders
A and A- (Excellent) = excellent ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders
B++ and B+ (Good) = good ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders
B and B- (Fair) = fair ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders
C++ and C+ (marginal) = marginal ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders
C and C- (weak) = weak ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders
