Needs verificationTravelers wrote $7.2 billion of private-passenger auto direct premium in 2025, a 1.9% share. No Travelers auto rate order for 2025 or 2026 was confirmed in this review. Needs verification in SERFF. [45][26]

Triple-I’s private-passenger auto table shows U.S. direct premiums written of $193.4 billion in 2024, up 11.7% from 2023. That is the whole market after the table’s stated basis. It is not the change on one driver’s renewal. [45]

ISO figures republished by Triple-I put the 2024 average bodily-injury liability claim at $28,278, up from $17,014 in 2015, and the average collision claim at $5,489. Claim size is one reason a book of auto business is repriced. It does not identify which factor moved on your declarations page. [45]

Why did my Travelers car insurance go up?

Eighth in 2025, tied on share with the Auto Club Exchange row and ahead of it on premium. The 2024 private-passenger auto market wrote $193.4 billion, up 11.7% from 2023, and the average bodily-injury claim in the ISO figures was $28,278. Neither number is your renewal. Ask for the rating factors on this term: vehicle, garaging address, drivers, and any filed rate change. [45]

Did Travelers raise auto rates in my state in 2026?

Needs verificationThis review did not confirm a 2025 or 2026 Travelers auto rate order. That is not proof the company filed nothing. Needs verification in SERFF Filing Access. [26][45]
