Plymouth Rock insurance: Ratings and reviews
Plymouth Rock Assurance is a regional insurance company that offers insurance in a handful of northeastern states. Plymouth Rock could be a decent option if you want to avoid working with a large car insurance company. Though the company has a smaller operation with a limited customer pool, Plymouth Rock offers impressive car insurance coverage options and discounts that compete with the insurance market's major players. Plymouth Rock policyholders can expect some unique benefits — like mobile claims service and one-time cab fare coverage — and can choose from four tiers of auto insurance coverage. Policies can be customized further by taking advantage of some additional optional protections on offer.
The company garnered mixed reviews from reputable third parties; while Plymouth Rock has exceptional financial strength and very few consumer complaints, its customer satisfaction was not rated positively.

The Zebra’s Dynamic Insurance Rating Tool data methodology
The Zebra’s Dynamic Insurance Rating Tool for home and auto insurance rates utilizes the latest ZIP code-level rate filings from across the U.S., sourced from Quadrant Information Services and S&P Global. These filings, typically updated annually or biennially by insurers, are verified through Quadrant’s QA process and then integrated into The Zebra’s estimator.
The displayed rates are based on a dynamic home and auto profile designed to reflect the content of the page. This profile is tailored to match specific factors such as age, location, and coverage level, which are adjusted based on the page content to show how these variables can impact premiums.

What types of coverage does Plymouth Rock offer?
All of the standard auto insurance coverage types can be purchased via Plymouth Rock — liability, collision, comprehensive, uninsured/underinsured motorist and medical payments. This insurance company also offers four tiers of extra coverage — each of which comes with some unique perks and benefits — along with some optional coverages that can be added to a Plymouth Rock policy.
- Accident forgiveness - For qualifying policyholders, Plymouth Rock won't raise your premium following a surchargeable accident upon the policy's renewal.
- Full glass coverage -Â The comprehensive deductible won't be charged for glass-only claims.
- New car replacement - Applicable for vehicles newer than two years old, new car replacement coverage will replace a totaled car with a new one (same model year, make and model).
- Loan/lease gap coverage - If your vehicle gets totaled, the payout you receive may not be enough to cover the entire amount you owe for the lease or loan. This is due to deductions made for the depreciation of the car. Gap insurance is a coverage option meant to prevent such a situation, and Plymouth Rock will cover the difference.
Extra coverage options vary by state. Select your state here to see more.

Methodology — how The Zebra reviews insurance companies
The team of insurance experts at The Zebra considers the company's standing in five main categories to come up with an overall rating. These metrics are weighted according to importance and are detailed below:
- Price (20%): Using the base profile detailed below, we compared the company's average rate with the national average. If it surpassed this average, we gave a lower rating; if it fell below, we awarded a higher rating.
- Coverage (20%): The highest-scoring companies offer a variety of coverage options, including bundling options, roadside assistance, telematics, beyond-basic coverage levels, and a variety of other coverage types.
- Customer service (30%): We averaged ratings from JD Power, the NAIC complaint index to come up with a rating for the company's customer service. In instances when a company is not rated, we may use alternative rating agencies such as the Better Business Bureau and Trust Pilot.
- Financial strength (10%): We use AM Best to determine a company's financial standing. In some cases when a company is not rated by AM Best, we may use an alternative measure such as Demotech.
- The Zebra's Customer Satisfaction Survey (20%): The Zebra conducts an annual survey measuring customer satisfaction for many of the top insurance companies with the goal of ranking both the best auto insurance companies and best home insurance companies. Read more below.
For our auto insurance review, we analyzed more than 83 million insurance rates spanning every U.S. ZIP code using a sample user profile: a 30-year-old single male driver with a Honda Accord, good credit and full coverage at these levels:
- $50,000 per person/$100,000 per incident for bodily injury liability
- $50,000 per incident for property damage liability
- $500 deductibles for collision and comprehensive coverage
For our home insurance review, rates are based on a sample user profile: a 45-year-old married homeowner living in a 2,500-square-foot single-story home built in 2011 with these coverage levels:
- $200,000 for the dwelling
- $20,000 for other structures
- $100,000 for personal property
- $100,000 for personal liability
- $1,000 deductible
These sample premiums are dynamic and automatically refresh whenever the newest data is made available.
To generate pricing for particular rating factors, we adjusted this profile based on common pricing factors used by major car insurance companies. These factors include credit score, coverage level and others.
For The Zebra's Customer Satisfaction Survey, findings are based on an online quantitative survey of 4,134 current U.S. auto and home insurance customers, with Census-balanced sampling by age, gender and region. Categories with n=<20 responses are considered insufficient sample size and are not reported. This survey was developed by The Zebra and executed by independent research firm Maru/Blue in 2023.
