Learn how to compare auto insurance rate quotes online from multiple companies by completing a quick form.

imageYou should be able to get a free car insurance quote online from any auto insurance company with a website, and most of them do these days. There was a time when you had to pay for a quotation, but not now. In fact if any company tries to charge you for an online quote, don’t bother dealing with them.
What should you be looking for in a free auto insurance quote? A low price obviously, but that will depend on the information you provide in the online quote form. You want a quick response, certainly, preferably within matter of minutes, although generally the same day is normal. The response can come online or by email, and should include a detailed list of what the quotation covers you for should decide to accept it.
However, a free online quote is really just the first stage and nobody really expects it to be accepted as it is; neither the insurer nor the driver. There is usually a degree of haggling or negotiation before the insuring agreement is finally signed. The online quote form is not generally comprehensive enough to include all of the factors that will decide the ultimate price of the insurance policy, and you could look upon it as a means of comparing a number of companies prior to drawing up a short-list.
What many people that are trying to insure their private passenger autos do, is to choose a long list of auto insurance companies from which to seek the initial free car insurance quote online. They use the form to provide information on the basic auto coverage required, together with some of the factors that establish the auto insurance rates and discounts. Not all of these factors can be provided online, and are generally kept for use for further negotiation.
The final automobile insurance policy should be negotiated from a short-list drawn up from the cheapest of the free online quotes. That is when you get personal, and pick up the telephone. Speak to each insurer on your short-list and negotiate reductions and discounts. You can use factors such as any special driving courses to have taken, the rate of liability cover you want and any other factors such as the security and safety features that make your car less liable to harm passengers and less likely to be stolen or damaged.
Perhaps your age, employment or residential area qualify you for a discount, or maybe you have other insurances with the company that could be at risk if you don’t get that taken into consideration. Or you could even move your mortgage or life insurance to that company if you get a whacking discount of your auto insurance. These things have been known to happen.
The whole point of an online free car insurance quotation is that you can compare the auto insurance rates being offered by a lot of different companies. You will get best results if you draw up a list with the help of an online comparison site, and perhaps a review site. Include in your list a few well known large national companies, a few smaller local companies and some brokers with access to a number of different auto insurance companies. You will then have a good mix of auto insurers with standard prices, and also some likely able and willing to negotiate auto insurance rates.
Each must offer a free online quote of course, or it’s pointless having them on your list. However, just about every motor insurance company worth dealing with is online these days. Once you have compared the various quotes, take the lowest three or four for your short-list and then do as recommended earlier. When you are down to the last two, call each again and let them know the other price, asking them if they can beat it. That way you will get the cheapest possible price for your circumstances.
You can also use an online form if you are looking for fast auto insurance quotes, since online quotes are usually much faster than telephone quotes. When they say “I’ll get back to you shortly” they will get back to you, but rarely ’shortly’! You are much quicker doing it online. However, a fast quote is not necessarily the cheapest quote, so keep that in mind: you only get ‘cheapest’ by comparing a number of quotes and then negotiating.
However, no matter how you use it, a free car insurance quote online is convenient and certainly a lot better than walking the streets from office to office.

My husband is a Marine, we recently bought a new car and we’re looking for good car insurance, preferably with a military discount! Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

imageHave you ever noticed how easy it is for people on television to find cheap car insurance rates? Seriously! It’s like all they have to do is turn around and they’re standing there holding the keys to a policy that’s making their neighbors green with envy. So why isn’t it that easy in real life?

Because when they start advertising cheap insurance on TV they’re almos talways assuming that you’re going to be coming into this with a perfect, unblemished driving record, a car that’s relatively cheap to replace and a home address that’s somewhere 4 cars or less happen to drive past per day. Doesn’t sound like you? Fuhgeddaboutit.

The good news is, there are ways to get cheaper car insurance rates than you’re paying right now. No, it might not be for hundreds of dollars a year less than Joe Schmoe with the 50 year old clunker down the street is paying, but it’s bound to be less than you’re paying now! The secret to cheap car insurance is all in the discounts, so talk to your insurance agent to see what you could be qualifying for that you’re not. Common car insurance discounts include ((but are not limited to):

• Anti-lock brakes

• Electronic locks

• Fuel switches

• Seat belts

• 4-wheel drive

• Age (drivers under 25 are always going to pay more for insurance, and drivers over 52 may be entitled to additional discounts if it cuts their commute)

• Location. If you live in an urban area with heavily congested traffic or along an interstate where accidents are common you’re going to pay more for car insurance than if you’d settled in Mayberry.

• Grades. If you’re a student, you don’t have a driving record or a credit score to give your car insurance company an idea of how responsible you are behind the wheel. Because of that, the insurance company is going to look at how responsible you are in the classroom instead! Honor roll and Dean’s list students are entitled to a good student discount with just about every Kansas car insurance company currently in business.

• Credit score. No, you can never get away from that little three digit number-so why not make the most of it? A good credit score will go a long way toward helping save you money on your car insurance.

• Driving Record. Your driving record can have a huge impact on your car insurance rates, so it’s better to brace for it now! Keeping your nose clean is the best way to keep your car insurance rates down to a dull roar, but if you do find yourself in an accident or convicted of a traffic violation the best thing you can do for yourself is volunteer to take a driver improvement course.

So what do you think? Are you getting all the car insurance discounts you qualify for? Or is cheap car insurance always just out of your grasp? Whichever situation you happen to be in, pick up the phone and call your car insurance agent to fix it today.
