Step 1
Make a plan.
The first step in finding online auto insurance quotes is to decide whether you prefer to shop by a single insurance company, or to use a website that allows you to compare auto insurance quotes from many different companies at once. If you choose the former, simply use a search engine to locate the website for the individual insurance company. Some popular websites are Progressive.com, Geico.com, Allstate.com, and StateFarm.com. -
Step 2
Cast your net wide.
If you would like to obtain and compare online auto insurance quotes from a variety of companies at one time, some good options include: Insurance.com, AutoInsureMe.com, or 2Insure4Less.com. -
Step 3
Provide necessary information.
Once you have decided on a website and would like to obtain an auto insurance quote, you will be required to enter some general information, such as name and address, to begin the application process. Typical applications will then ask for details such as: information on the car(s) you wish to insure, information on the driver(s), facts about any driving-related incidents in your recent past, and what type and amount of coverage you are seeking. Try to be as honest and accurate as possible when answering these questions. Any falsifications- deliberate or otherwise- will slow down the process of your obtaining insurance, and may even lead to it being revoked. -
Step 4
Review and finalize your decision.
After completing the application, you will be presented with your personalized auto insurance quote(s) either by e-mail, or on the website itself. Carefully compare your options, making sure to note all differences in coverage. When you have made your decision, contact the insurance company with the quote you choose. -
Step 5
Be careful with your dates.
When you speak with a representative from the auto insurance company of your choice, you will need to tell them what date you would like your new auto insurance policy to take effect. It is very important to make sure that you begin your new policy ON OR BEFORE the date that your previous policy expires. Even a single day of gap between coverage of the two policies could result in your having to pay a hefty fine to the state.
