Car Insurance Companies: A Few Top Quote Comparison Sites


Finding the ideal car insurance companies for your situation can be a nightmare. As is the case with most popular topics, it is increasingly difficult to wade through the multitude of spam "quote comparing" websites to find the best company. After spending considerable time weeding through the sites, I am happy to report to you the top three resources for reliable car insurance companies quotes. Keep in mind this is only my personal opinion, but I'm sure others will agree.

1. Progressive.com

Progressive advertises a service to show you how their rates compare with others. I have seen more advertising for Progressive than all other car insurance companies. A week or so ago, I eventually decided to check out their instant service. Although others have found their very helpful, it was malfunctioning when I attempted and all I got back were Progressive quotes. With that being said, it was a simple interface that I was able to finish in minutes.

2. Insure.com

Insure is a popular site that gives rates for all kinds of insurance. They also have services for life, businss, travel, etc. One test I like to perform is whether they recognize my zip code. My zip code was new more than 4 years ago, so it is quite alarming how many sites still say it is invalid. Sadly, Insure was one of those sites. Even though it really gets to me when they fail to have current zip code data, this is still a site you ought to try when you shop for car insurance for your family.

3. CarInsurance.com

This final site I reviewed has the cleanest form to fill out of all. And guess what. They recognized my new North Carolina zip code! One thing to keep in mind is that apparently they conduct these car insurance companies comparisons themselves. After entering my initial info, I was taken to a screen to choose from other sites serving my area. I selected NetQuote.com to perform my search.

Keep in mind that these sites doing comparisons of car insurance companies have their own desire to make money before their attempt to save you money. So you should shop around even among the above and other sites to receive the best deal.

I'm sure you will find great use in these quote comparison resources to find the top car insurance companies for you. Please pass along any other great sites you've come across. The topic isn't just for "experts," you know! You can even publish your own helpful article at the link found in the section below. I'm sure there are at least a handful of other sites for expert car insurance companies insights which would benefit others as well.
