Online Car Insurance Sites Will Cause Your Phone To Ring Endlessly
One of the more annoying changes in the Online Car Insurance marketplace over the past several years has been the decline of sites offering instant online quotes compared to those that are simply brokering leads. Several years ago a person could visit sites, submit information and get real, side-by-side auto insurance rate comparisons.
Today, that system has largely been replaced with lead selling on the insurance comparison sites. These sites have a network of subscribing agents who are then forwarded your information and will call, email, and mail you repeatedly seeking your business. Yes, they will give you a quote but also will often follow-up repeatedly since they paid good money for your information.
More and more the better choice is to take the necessary time to get quotes directly from insurance company sites. These usually offer instant quotes but only from the company whose site you are visiting. You will need to repeat the process several times to get a feel for available rates. You can still use one of the online comparison services safely and securely, but if you do be prepared for the inevitable phone calls that will follow.
