Overview

Over the last 85 years, Nationwide Insurance has grown from a small mutual auto insurer owned by policyholders to one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in the world. Today, Nationwide is still owned by policyholders and offers a full range of insurance and financial services in nearly every state, including car, motorcycle, boat, homeowners, pet, farm, life and commercial insurance.

A Nationwide car insurance policy offers accident forgiveness and a long list of available discounts. The company also offers two usage-based programs. SmartRide allows drivers to earn a discount for monitoring driving habits, while SmartMiles is a pay-per-mile program for low-mileage drivers.

Nationwide Group claims 2.13% of the private passenger auto insurance market, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) 2022 report. That makes it the eighth-largest auto insurance group in the nation.
