2025 Allstate America's Best Drivers Report® reveals the safest and riskiest driving cities
Editors Note: For nore than 4 years Allstate was a title sponsor of The Auto Channel, they had a chance to own the insurnce space forever. But as often happens in promotion and advertising when a new executive appears the ideas of the former team becomes a bad idea...the technology to provide their agents with geo targetted messaging was not implemented then but can be implemented now....just e-me and we can start right now Bob Gordon President, [email protected]
Chicago IL July 11, 2025; First launched in 2005, this year's Allstate America's Best Drivers Report revisits collision data published a decade ago to reveal surprising shifts in driving safety across the country, just as Americans prepare for another busy summer on the roads.
"No matter where you drive, the best way to protect yourself and others is simple: buckle up, stay focused and slow down," said Sandee Lindorfer, vice president of auto claims at Allstate. "These are three of the most effective ways to prevent crashes, and they cost nothing but attention."

How to stay safe and save on the road this summer
No matter where your city ranks, Allstate offers smart ways to stay protected and cut costs wherever you go.
- Consider cars with strong safety features. Cars with airbags, anti-lock brakes, advanced driver aids and factory-installed anti-theft systems offer greater protection and reduce the risk of accidents and theft – benefits that may also translate into insurance savings.
- Set young drivers up for success. Young drivers under 25 can save by completing an approved driver ed program or maintaining good grades – proof that preparation and responsibility pay off.

Methodology
The Allstate America's Best Drivers Report is the result of an in-depth examination of company auto claims data to determine the likelihood drivers in America's 200 most populous cities will experience a vehicle collision compared to the national average. According to Allstate claims data, the average driver in the U.S will experience a collision once every 10.56 years. This year, Allstate researchers analyzed property and collision damage claims reported during the two-year period of January 2022 to December 2023. The report defines a collision as any auto crash resulting in a property or collision damage claim and uses U.S. Census Bureau data to determine America's 200 largest cities. Allstate's auto policies represent approximately 10% of all U.S. auto policies, making this report a realistic snapshot of what is happening on America's roadways. The Allstate America's Best Drivers Report is produced solely to boost the country's discussion about safe driving and to increase awareness of the importance of being safe and attentive behind the wheel. The report is not used to determine auto insurance rates.
