Divide the companies into nationwide or local providers. While nationwide companies may be able to lower prices because of a larger customer base, local companies may be able to provide more hands-on customer service. However, this is not always the case. Remain open to both options, even if you are leaning toward one type of provider before beginning your search.

Ask a company representative about how your driving record and other personal information will affect the price of insurance. For example, one company may have the cheapest rates until they realize you are a certain age or have been in previous accidents.
