What types of coverage does Pronto offer?
Pronto car insurance options are designed to be flexible and affordable. Unlike many car insurance companies, Pronto highlights flexible term policies as a major selling point. Customers can purchase basic liability insurance in one, two, three, six and 12-month policy terms. This sort of flexibility allows for terms much shorter than most standard carriers provide.
They offer insurance options that are tailored to different levels of customer needs. Pronto auto insurance provides a number of different policy packages, including some catering to customers looking for cheaper insurance rates and others serving customers in search of full coverage.
- Essential Package:Â This is Pronto's basic package. It includes basic liability coverage at the limits set by the state. Additional coverage options for uninsured/underinsured motorist, PIP and roadside assistance (which is only available for six-month policies) can also be added.
- Comprehensive Package: This can be added to the Essential Package to provide what’s known as full coverage, so it includes collision and comprehensive coverage.
- Alternative Package: Meant for customers who need specialized coverage, this package is designed for drivers who need non-owners policies and/or SR-22s.
- Mexico auto insurance: One offering from Pronto is its coverage for motorists driving in Mexico. This coverage is incredibly flexible, available for terms as short as one day and up to one year. Details on this coverage are vague, however, so some research is advisable.

Pronto insurance review: Summary
For drivers in Texas and California — the only states Pronto is active in — Pronto's coverage options and discount opportunities may seem limited, especially when compared to bigger insurance companies. But if you're a high-risk driver who just needs to get the minimum amount of liability to drive legally, Pronto may be a reasonable option. However, be warned that despite generally positive Trustpilot reviews, not much else is known about the company's financial strength (which correlates to its ability to pay for claims) and customer service. We recommend you proceed with caution if you choose Pronto, or only as a last resort if you have trouble getting insured elsewhere.
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.
