Where can you get auto insurance quotes?

Answer

Geico and State Farm will provide quotes!

Answer

The two referenced companies above will indeed give you quotes but not necessarily a good idea of what is available in the marketplace. In addition to those two companies that will only give you a quote on their plans, talk to an independent Personal Lines agent who can give you quotes on various companies. For instance, I represent Hartford, Safeco, Kemper, Progressive and Travelers. The reason I reprsent five different companies is that one company will never be the best option all the time.

In the auto insurance field there are 'captive' agents who generally can only sell you products from their one auto insurance company and 'independent' agents who represent multiple carriers. It is an important distinction to understand. When shopping for insurance in addition to any captive company, always check with at least one independent agent in the field, as they will give you a good sense of what the open marketplace costs would be and then make the best decision for your circumstance.

For those that do not know, captive companies that generally only quote their own auto plans would include: AAA, CSAA, Farmers, State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual to name just a few.
