Hey, most of the insurance companies now-a-days offer their quotes online. Visit the sites of the auto insurance companies to obtain the quotes. Also there are few sites, who allow you receive quotes as well as compare the rates of different insurers.
However, the quotes received from internet may vary from the quotes available from an agent. Hence, don't get surprised when the rate that you have received from the site will differ from the rate that from the agent.

Search on the google with the words Auto/home/life insurance quotes. I'm sure that you'll be showered with the sites offering insurance quotes online.
Just a word of caution, there are many hoax sited available too online, who might use the information for phishing. Remember that you never have to divulge your SSN and/or bank account information in sites to receive the quotes. Hence, its important to check the authenticity of the sites before giving out information.
However, you might be asked to give your phone number and contact details since the agents will be contacting you on these numbers.
Happy shopping  |

There are a ton of sites that offer auto quotes online. But yes, there are some not-so-reputable places to shop.
If you have an idea what company you want to try, go directly to those sites: geico.com, statefarm.com, progressive.com, etc. It saves time from having to call each company and jab with them on the phone for 20 minutes a piece. Not my idea of a productive use of time.
For multiple quotes, check out some of the more popular quote aggregators. They're online quotes, so it's not guaranteed you'll get the exact price, but it should give you a ballpark estimate. From there you can call up the company and confirm the price over the phone. Jeorge is right -don't divulge your SSN online! Only give it over the phone - most companies use credit as a component of their quote models.
Some of those aggregator sites are carinsurance.com, carinsurancerates.com, insureme.com, or even my humble site carinsuranceguidebook.com That's not my primary focus, but I offer a click through to get a quote. |
