Here's the next item I wanted to cover from Kiplinger's "The Best List". Today, we're highlighting the best site for auto insurance quotes:
The Best Site for Auto Insurance Quotes: InsWeb
InsWeb provides instant quotes from up to six companies (the number varies by state), including big names such as AIG and Liberty Mutual, plus quotes by phone or e-mail from American Family, Nationwide and MetLife. (For rates from other major insurers, including Progressive, Geico and Esurance, you'll have to go directly to the companies' sites.) To get an accurate price, you'll need to provide your Social Security number and let the insurer look up your driving record and credit history.
I've written before that a great way to save on car insurance is to shop around for it (FYI, see Money Saving Tips: Save on Car Insurance, Again for more car insurance saving tips) and this site is one way to do that. In the past, we've simply done it the old-fashioned way -- we've called several places and asked for a quote -- but this would make it a whole lot easier. The Social Security number requirement is a bit concerning though as I don't like to give out my number (you never know who is seeing it.)
Insweb also has some great tools and information you can use free of charge. Also you should check out there insurance blog for more money saving tips. One more thing you should let consumers know about is the importance of getting multiple auto insurance quotes from several websites who use or are top rated companies.
