At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

Comparing car insurance quotes when your policy is ready to renew can save you about 30%.
Even if you’re happy with your current car insurance and premium, comparing is still a good idea, especially if you’ve experienced recent life changes like getting married or adding another driver to your policy.
Insurify’s team of expert insurance editors and data analysts examined the average monthly rates of every major national and regional insurance company for every state and different driver profiles. This article will help you better understand how to compare car insurance quotes to find the best policy for your needs at the best price available to you.
How to compare car insurance rates without getting spammed
Using a car insurance comparison site takes a lot of hard work off your plate. You can get quotes from multiple insurance companies without having to re-enter your information again and again.
But not all “comparison” sites will give you the same results. Lead-generation sites look like comparison websites, but they’re really just gathering your personal information to sell to their marketing partners. Instead of multiple quotes, you’ll likely see none at all. Instead, you could get unwanted calls and emails – including ones from companies that have nothing to do with insurance.
A true comparison site like Insurify will be clear about its data and privacy policies, and will tell you upfront that it’ll protect you from spam.
Insurify gives you real-time quotes from top national and regional insurance companies. We’re a licensed digital insurance agency in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We never sell your information, so you don’t have to worry about getting spammed with unwanted phone calls or emails.

Why it’s important to compare car insurance
Multiple factors affect your car insurance rate, including your age, location, driving record, level of education, and the kind of car you drive. Each insurance company weighs these factors differently, so similar drivers may get very different prices for the same coverage types and limits.
The premium can vary by hundreds of dollars, depending on the insurance company. For example, young drivers typically pay more for car insurance than other age groups.
Car insurance rates also vary widely by insurer — even for the same type of driver. For example, full-coverage insurance from State Farm averages $117 per month, while the same coverage from Liberty Mutual costs about $247. But Auto-Owners offers full coverage for just $68 per month.
It’s a good idea to compare personalized quotes every six months, as the marketplace changes quickly. Be sure that all the quotes have the same types of coverage for an apples-to-apples comparison. Here’s a look at average monthly rates from top companies Insurify partners with.

Our car insurance premium actually went down at renewal, when I was expecting it to go up. I still compared rates from other insurance companies. I didn’t find a lower rate. But it only cost me a few minutes to get peace of mind that staying with my current company really was a good deal.
Everyone wants to find reliable car insurance coverage at the cheapest rate. But the quality, reputation, and financial strength of the insurance company are also important in the event of a claim. The Insurify Quality Score evaluates insurance companies on these factors, as well as price.

What you need to compare car insurance
To provide you with the most accurate quotes, we need some basic information, including your:
Name

Make and model of your vehicle
You’ll also need to tell us the level of coverage you want — liability only or full coverage — your policy limits, and desired deductible. You can get most of this info from your existing car insurance documents, like a declarations page, or your insurance ID cards.
