Allied Home Insurance is a division of Nationwide, one of the most financially stable and respected insurers in the country.

Nationwide has been in business for over 90 years and is one of the country's highest-rated insurance companies in terms of its financial strength.

It offers consumers an unusually wide array of customizable insurance options.

The company is a solid choice, particularly for those who prefer to deal with their insurers in person or over the phone, rather than through an internet connection.
