Capital One
Capital One makes car shopping easy. You can apply online for loan preapproval using the Auto Navigator program. You can also use this feature to shop for cars without leaving your couch. This can save you a lot of time compared to shopping for cars at a dealership, especially if you already have a specific make and model in mind. Pre-approvals through Capital One are soft credit pulls that won’t affect your score. You can print out the preapproval letter and take it with you to more than 12,000 dealers when you go car shopping to lock in a vehicle — and a good rate.

Carvana
Carvana is a great choice for buyers with poor credit. Carvana has no minimum credit score requirements and you can qualify for an auto loan if you make at least $10,000 annually and have no current bankruptcies. However, co-signers are not allowed, which means you can’t bank on a friend or relative to help you get approved if you’re denied for a loan on your own. Another thing to keep in mind is that Carvana’s car loans only finance the cars on its website. If you want to buy a car sold elsewhere, you will need to shop elsewhere for your loan.

Consumers Credit Union
Credit unions are some of the best places to get a low-interest car loan, but most require members to qualify by being part of a workers’ union, military or resident of a certain state. Luckily, you can join CCU by paying a $5 fee and keeping at least that amount in a savings account. In return, you can get an auto loan rate as low as 2.69%.
You’ll need at least a 640 credit score to get approved with Consumers Credit Union, but it offers the lowest APR of all the options on this list, so if you’re interested in securing the lowest possible rate, you might want to consider jumping through the hoops to join CCU.

LightStream
LightStream is SunTrust Bank’s vehicle loan branch. If you have very good credit, you’ll qualify for its low rates. This company will also beat other lenders’ offers by 0.10% if you present an offer from a competitor with the same loan terms. Lightstream will do a hard pull on your credit, so make sure you’re ready to lock in with the lender before it checks your credit.
LightStream sells fast auto loans and can fund your auto loan as quickly as that same day. Also, these loans come with no prepayment penalty, so you can repay them early without worrying about taking a hit for it.
www.lightstream.com
OneMain Financial
OneMain is an option for borrowers with a low credit score looking for fast auto loans. This lender accepts loan co-signers and lower credit scores other banks may not qualify, but these perks come with a higher interest rate, by far the highest interest rate of any option on this list. However, you can get funded the same day if you’re all set to close the deal on your next car.

Best for Shopping Around: LendingTree
If you are tossing around the idea of getting a new car but not sure if it will fit in your budget, stop by LendingTree first. Without affecting your credit, you can shop from a variety of lenders. You can use this feature for refinancing, new cars, used cars, or lease buyouts. Just enter details such as your desired loan type, down payment, financial status, and the vehicle you want. Then Lending Tree will match you with lenders.

Best for Refinancing: OpenRoad Lending
While getting a new set of wheels is exciting, there’s something to be said for sticking with a reliable ride. However, if your credit improved, you paid off debt, or you got a raise since you first financed your auto loan, you may be paying too much. OpenRoad Lending allows eligible applicants to refinance existing loans and save an average of $100 per month on their car payments. The application process is simple and entirely online. Within as little as an hour of applying, you can receive your decision with complete details about the loan.

Best for Shopping Around for Refinancing: Lending Club
Although Lending Club made a name for itself with peer-to-peer personal loans, the online lender now offers auto loan refinancing. If you’re looking for ways to lower your monthly bills, Lending Club can help by showing you your refinancing options. First, complete the initial application and get instant offers. This step is a soft pull on your credit that won't change your score. Then, you can compare the details of each proposal to see which best fits your needs. Whether you need to lower your interest rate, increase the length of your loan, or both, you can find the right lender.

Geico
Geico's clever commercials ensure that it remains one of the best-known car insurance options in the country, but its customers know the company for the great service and support it offers, along with some of the cheapest insurance prices. Geico's 97% customer satisfaction rate speaks for itself, as does its long list of honors, including the most desired insurer according to Kanbay Research Institute. You know, just in case the gecko isn't enough to convince you that you want its insurance coverage.
www.geico.com
Allstate
Allstate was one of the rare car insurance companies ranked on every single one of J.D. Power's regional customer satisfaction lists -- and was No. 1 in Florida. Allstate prides itself on its scope of coverage options and offers a host of car insurance discounts that, depending on your circumstances, could easily make it the most cost-effective auto insurance policy available for many motorists.
www.allstate.com
Progressive
A giant in the insurance world with over 18 million customers, Progressive manages to attract and retain so many satisfied customers with continued commitment to saving its customers money on their car insurance rates. Progressive was the first auto insurer to offer safe-driving discounts, which makes the company a great option for people with a good driving record. Even today, customers who switch to Progressive save an average of $699 per year.

Auto-Owners Insurance
Auto-Owners Insurance may not have the flashy marketing presence of the competition, but how many of them can say they've been around almost as long as cars have? Established in 1916, the company has nearly 3 million car insurance policy holders across 26 states. Its high rankings from J.D. Power might prompt you to check if it has coverage where you live.
www.auto-owners.com
Liberty Mutual insurance
Operating globally, Liberty Mutual is the fifth-largest property and casualty insurer in the world. Still, the company makes it very clear that its business starts with you and the first step in that journey is getting an insurance coverage quote.
Most insurers offer free car insurance quotes on their websites, but Liberty Mutual offers you a discount for using its own -- you can save up to 12% off your rate by getting a car insurance policy quote online.
www.libertymutual.com
Esurance
Ranked the No. 1 auto insurer in California, Esurance in quickly making inroads around the country (the company operates in 43 states). A division of Allstate, Esurance promises customers that switching or signing up for car insurance can be as easy as possible, or "painless," as the company puts it.
Users agree with the assessment, as reviews on the website call attention to how fast and easy it is to sign up, either online or with the Esurance app. And calling all introverts, you likely won't have to talk with an insurance agent directly to get set up.
www.esurance.com
Nationwide Insurance
With over 90 years covering drivers, Nationwide has learned a thing or two about what keeps customers happy (and in turn, what keeps them customers). The company's list of visions and values shows exactly where its priorities lie.
Top ratings from a variety of outlets (such as A.M. Best, S&P and Moody's) would suggest that it's working. Those values extend to employees, as well -- Nationwide was ranked No. 53 in Fortune's most recent list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For."
www.nationwide.com
Travelers Insurance
Among the many plans Travelers offers is a car insurance coverage policy that you can customize based on your needs. Rather than upsell users, Travelers offers a host of resources (in the form of blog posts) designed to educate motorists prior to policy purchase. An informed customer is a happy customer.
www.travelers.com
Safeco

Safeco partners with local agents who can devote the time and attention that customers need in order to get all of their individual car insurance questions answered and requests met.
www.safeco.com
USAA
If we were judging solely on satisfaction, the United Services Automobile Association would take the top spot in our rankings. What affects the USAA's ranking is that its scope is narrower than those of most other auto insurers, as the company only offers coverage to service members, veterans and their families. That said, USAA offers of the cheapest car insurance prices that even beat Geico's, with customers who switch saving an average of $707 a year.

Enterprise.com
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is agreed to be one of the best -if not the best- car rental companies in the world. It does not only have locations in the U.S. but Canada and all-over European countries as well. It has a wide selection of vehicles for you to choose from. It ranges from four-door cars to bigger SUVs if you want the space. And if you are traveling with an even bigger group you can get a minivan if you wish to do so, but you will have to call in advance just to be sure. If you are traveling by plane and need the car after you land, Enterprise will send a car to pick you up and take you to the nearest rental location. They also have a free to join rewards program. If you are planning to do business with Enterprise more than once, it is a great opportunity to take.
www.enterprise.com
Hertz.com
With a similar business model to Enterprise, Hertz places itself above the rest of the other companies and websites and the cost of renting from them is above as well.
Hertz has over 1600 locations in the U.S. and one of the biggest car selections in the world. They not only have regular cars for your holiday or business trip average ride. They also have a more exotic line section filled with hybrid cars and luxury cars if you want an unforgettable experience. They went as far as creating their very own Mustang Hertz, the baby of a Hertz and Ford collaboration. If you are renting a car for a holiday trip, Hertz will allow you to opt into a great “NeverLost” program. They will provide you with a GPS, city guides, a trip planner and a concierge service. You should take advantage of their reward system as well. As stated, they are similar to Enterprise when it comes to their rates. It is slightly below than them when it comes to daily rates. But it is probably the best option for a holiday trip.
www.hertz.com
Alamo
Of course, not everyone is looking for luxury cars. Most people can’t -or prefer not to- spend a lot of money on daily fares to get a car to drive around. And here’s where Alamo takes a dent on the competition. It can get from 5% to 15% cheaper to rent from Alamo than most of the other places. They also offer an extra free day if you are a teacher member of the National Education Association when you rent for over five days. Even though most Alamo locations are near an airport, if you find yourself doing business with a non-airport location, they will send their shuttle service to pick you up. But the highest point of the Alamo experience is their customer service. That’s where Alamo makes a difference, with a positive experience on a day to day basis with their customers.
www.alamo.com
Nationalcar
National Car Rental have a career trained staff that will help you and manage to get out of most situations you might have with your rented car. Even though they have fewer locations than most, they have a huge range of cars from small cars to minivans. The problem with their car selection is the lack of variety. They have no hybrid cars or luxury cars. If you decide to opt-out of the deal with them, their cancellation fees are far less strict than most. But to make the best out of a deal with National Car Rental is if you or your company is going to make a business trip. A company can arrange with National to have their employees order at a rate instead of the infamous premium for last-minute rental services. They also have a unique system where you can use your air miles or hotel points from several places to rent cars.
www.nationalcar.com
Avis
Avis is by far the most expensive rental car service on this list. They also have the most company locations in the world. While they are an expensive option without a doubt, they also offer a wide range of discounts where you can drop the price a little bit. Even though they have the most locations all over the world -not only in the U.S.- they have an amazing pickup service whether you are renting near an airport or not. They have an amazing rewards program that will reward you with points for every dollar you make, with no exceptions. But the best thing that Avis offers, and most unique by far, is their very own cellphone app. With it, you can make, manage and finish your car rental reservation. It is a game-changer for sure. And there is one thing where Avis is the cheapest option. They have the lowest fee when it comes to choosing an additional driver, so it is not all bad in Avis pricing after all.
www.avis.com/
Budget.com
If Budget Car Rental does one thing, it is staying true to their name. It is not enough for Budget to offer one of the lowest rates in the car rental business. They also offer a huge variety of discounts, probably the biggest of them all. For example, if you decide to pay when you make the reservation, you will get %35 off the price right there. It is amazing. For certain cars, you might get a free third day if you opt to choose for a weekend reservation. They also have a lot of cars for you to choose from. Not only from normal four-door cars to SUVs, or from hybrids cars to convertible cars but trucks as well.
www.budget.com
Dollar.com
Dollar Car Rental fights toe to toe with Budget when it comes to cheap prices. And Dollar might be the winner of this match. It probably has one of the cheapest -if not the cheapest- rates in the car rental service. One would expect a small range of car variety, but that could not be furthest away from the truth. They offer a wide selection as the expensive guys out there. Ranging from basic cars to SUVs for your bigger needs and they even offer pickups. They have a huge reward system and are specifically targeting the business travel side of the car rental service, offering multiple perks in their business trip program.
www.dollar.com
AutoRentals
If you can’t choose between one rental car company or the other, do not worry! There are plenty of websites that mash them all together to pick the best deals that are currently going on, according to what you need. AutoRentals.com is not a rental company per se but chooses from over 20 different places for you to select the best deal available. All you have to do is write down where you are going to need the car, when and the specifics of the vehicle. It is the friendliest way to search for a car online.
