Where To Find Free Car Insurance Quotes


News Image

“Drivers can get free car insurance quotes online really easy and fast,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents the main places where drivers can get free car insurance quotes and compare multiple offers.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/where-to-find-free-car-insurance-quotes/

The internet allows its users to contact multiple insurance websites and get estimates for free. Drivers can obtain these quotes from the following sources:


  • Car insurers own websites. Most car insurance companies own a website that provides quotation services to their clients. Based on the data supplied by the customers, the embedded calculator will estimate their insurance rates. The user will only get price estimates from that company only. To compare multiple rates estimates, he will have to fill multiple quotes at different insurance companies’ websites. Each quote is personalized.
  • Brokerage websites. These are the best places to complete car insurance quotes. These are specialized sites that work together with car insurance companies. A customer will have to fill only one questionnaire to get offers from multiple insurers. Local or regional insurance companies also appear in offers results. By filing the same data and choosing the same amount coverage, the significant price difference caused by filing individual quotes from insurers sites will be greatly reduced. That happens because all insurance companies will have to adhere to a standard set of questions provided by the insurance brokerage site.
  • Local insurance department. Although not as popular as the other sources listed in this list, consulting the local insurance department site has its advantages. Drivers get free access to a list of top insurers and some basic rate surveys. Also, drivers can find out details about each insurer complaint ratio. If one insurer has a high complaint ratio, it is better to avoid that company.

Anti-Theft Devices Will Help Drivers Get Better Car Insurance Rates


News Image

“Anti-theft devices will help drivers make their cars safer and pay less on their insurance premiums”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains what anti-theft devices can help drivers pay less on their car insurance rates.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-anti-theft-devices-can-lower-your-car-insurance-rates/

Anti-theft devices will not only protect a vehicle from thieves, but it will also help the car owner pay less on his car insurance. Every year, hundreds of thousands of vehicles are stolen. The financial losses supported by the insurance companies are enormous. For that reason, the insurance companies will provide generous discounts to those drivers that are willing to make their cars safer by installing anti-theft devices.

The following anti-theft devices can help drivers pay less on their premiums:


  • Steering wheel lock. This device goes over the steering of the vehicle and locks it into one place so that no one that doesn’t have the key can drive it. They are physically effective and act as a visual deterrent for most thieves.
  • Kill switches. A kill switch disrupts the flow of electricity at the battery or ignition switch or disables the fuel pump. Any of these devices will quickly frustrate any potential thief. Also, they are cheap to purchase.
  • Electronic sound alarm systems. These systems will blast the horn and flash the vehicle lights when someone touches the vehicle or if he gets too close. These systems are very annoying, but very efficient when it comes to deterring thieves.
  • VIN etching. Drivers that etched their vehicle’s 17-digit identification number onto the windshield and all window glass like the rear window, sunroof, moonroof, and door glass of their vehicle will have their comprehensive coverage costs lowered with up to 15%. VIN etching will allow authorities to quickly recover a stolen vehicle.
  • Vehicle tracking system. There are several types of vehicle tracking systems available on the market. Some will constantly monitor the vehicle’s location in real time, while others are activated to pinpoint a driver’s vehicle location when it has been reported stolen. Both types of tracking systems will help the authorities to recover the stolen vehicle in a fast manner.
  • Armored collars. These devices wrap around the steering column and prevent car thieves from hot-wiring a vehicle by securing the wiring in the steering column. Some are permanent, while others are electronic.

Seven Tips For Getting Affordable Coverage


News Image

“Being a safe driver, having safety devices installed and making smart coverage changes will help you save money on car insurance,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Car insurance rates are determined after analyzing multiple factors, including car model, driving history and ZIP code. While some factors, like state legislation, are beyond driver’s control, other rating factors can be modified and bring the costs down. Find out how to get better premiums:


  • Use online car insurance quotes. Brokerage websites are recommended to complete car quotes. Make sure you complete the same information on all the questionnaires. After you received at least three car quotes, start analyzing them in order to find the most advantageous deal. Also, check all available discounts offered by each insurer.
  • Purchase higher deductibles. Deductibles are the money paid by the policyholder before the insurance policy kicks in. By raising deductibles, the policyholder will lower his premium rates.
  • Keep a clean driving record. A driver with no traffic tickets and no accidents for a number of years is eligible for a safe driver discount. Most insurance companies will lower premium rates after three years of clean driving, while other insurers will wait even five years to provide this discount. Usually, this discount will lower insurance rates by 10%-20%.
  • Carefully select the car model. Factors like the likelihood of theft, costs to repair and safety record, determine the price of the insurance rates. Safety and anti-theft devices also play a significant role in determining the premium of a vehicle
  • Keep a good credit score. Insurance companies calculate rates based on how good or bad is a person’s credit score. Drivers with bad credit scores will pay higher insurance rates. Improve credit score by using balance transfer credit cards of short term loans with a credit union.
  • Consider dropping full coverage. If the car is worth less than ten times the premium, having full coverage may not be cost-effective. Auto dealers and banks can tell you how much your car is worth it.
  • Pay annually. Drivers can save even 10 percent form their premium, by choosing to pay the whole insurance once. In that way, they will no longer pay monthly administrative fees.

Car Insurance Guide 2020: What Are Vanishing Deductibles


News Image

“Vanishing deductibles can help drivers save money when they need the most. In case of a claim, in certain situations, drivers won’t have to spend any money out of their pockets”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Many drivers have heard of the vanishing deductibles programs. All it takes to see a vanishing deductibles ad on television is to do a little channel flipping. The concept for vanishing deductibles sounds great, but drivers need to take a closer look and find out if the vanishing deductible can be a great deal for them.

According to the International Risk Management Institute Inc. (IRMI), a vanishing deductible is “a formula deductible that decreases as the number of loss increases and disappears entirely to provide full coverage when the loss reaches a specified amount”. Drivers that manage to go a year without being involved in an accident will have their deductibles decreased with $50-$100.

Most insurance companies will allow their drivers to obtain a vanishing deductibles option that starts with a $100 deductible credit. This credit can apply for both collision and comprehensive coverage.

Policyholders can accumulate $100 of additional credit worth, for every year they remain accident-free. This insurance credit can be accumulated to a maximum of $500 and will be automatically used when the driver makes a claim. Policyholders can’t choose when to use this credit and it’s not bankable. As long as this option is active, the vanishing deductible credit will never go below $100.

The cost of vanishing deductibles options varies from one insurer to another. But even if it costs only $5/ month, drivers should think twice before obtaining this option. Drivers can choose to purchase this feature, or to save their money in an emergency fund where they can use the money for all sorts of things, not only claims.
