NerdWallet was not able to rate Good2Go for overall performance because there is no financial strength rating information available for the company. NerdWallet’s ratings are determined by our editorial team. The scoring formula takes into account consumer experience, complaint data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and financial strength ratings.
Good2Go has an unusual and complex operating structure. The name refers to an insurance agency as well as several insurance companies owned by the same firm. Good2Go sells policies through its own member companies as well as outside partners, so it may be unclear which company you’re getting a quote from until you enter some of your personal data.
Regulators in at least three states have found fault with the business practices of companies that operate under the Good2Go brand. In addition, financial strength ratings agencies have raised concerns about the companies’ abilities to pay claims.
NerdWallet recommends exploring all alternatives before considering Good2Go. If you’re shopping for minimum required car insurance, you have many options that are likely to be better choices.

How Good2Go auto insurance works

Apollo Casualty.

Good2Go auto insurance coverage
When you're shopping for car insurance coverage, it's important to understand what coverage you want and what you’re required to buy. For instance, most states require a minimum amount of car insurance to drive a vehicle. Alternatively, if you want extra protection, you may be interested in full coverage insurance. Read about the most common types of car insurance coverage to see how they work.
Although Good2Go focuses on selling liability insurance to high-risk drivers, the agency also offers optional comprehensive and collision coverage. If you owe money on a car loan or lease, your lender may require this coverage, which pays to repair or replace your car if it’s stolen or damaged, no matter who is at fault.
Good2Go also offers:
Roadside assistance, including coverage for towing.
SR-22 availability. You can get an SR-22 form, a document that your state may require to prove you have insurance after a DUI or some other serious violation.
Good2Go says it can provide immediate proof of insurance when you buy a policy.

Driving a car with safety features like air bags.
Driving a car with a built-in anti-theft system.
Having your car’s vehicle identification number (VIN) etched onto its windows, making the car less appealing to thieves.

Methodology
Insurer complaints methodology
NerdWallet examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in 2021-2023. To assess how insurers compare to one another, the NAIC calculates a complaint index each year for each subsidiary, measuring its share of total complaints relative to its size, or share of total premiums in the industry. To evaluate a company’s complaint history, NerdWallet calculated a similar index for each insurer, weighted by market shares of each subsidiary, over the three-year period. NerdWallet conducts its data analysis and reaches conclusions independently and without the endorsement of the NAIC. Ratios are determined separately for auto, home (including renters and condo) and life insurance.
Auto insurance ratings methodology
NerdWallet’s auto insurance ratings reward companies for customer-first features and practices. Ratings are based on weighted averages of scores in several categories, including financial strength, consumer complaints and discounts. Our “ease of use” category looks at factors such as website transparency and how easy it is to file a claim. Using our editorial discretion, we also consider customer satisfaction surveys. These ratings are a guide, but we encourage you to shop around and compare several insurance quotes to find the best rate for you. NerdWallet does not receive compensation for any reviews.
