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.

Gabi is an online insurance broker with licenses in every state.[1] It’s an all-in-one insurance-shopping tool that allows customers to compare, buy, and manage policies on the site. Gabi simplifies the comparison process by automatically gathering quotes from dozens of insurance companies, allowing you to find the best insurance for your needs.
Even though it’s easy to compare auto insurance quotes on Gabi, the site may not produce helpful quotes. Plus, prices might change as you finalize the purchase, and you can typically get a more accurate quote directly from an insurer’s site than from Gabi.
Gabi doesn’t sell your personal data to insurance companies or other sites.
The Insurance Information Institute recommends comparing policies from at least three auto insurance companies before buying.[2]
Gabi provides quotes from more than 40 insurance companies.
Gabi at a glance
Gabi, recently acquired by Experian, has been helping consumers compare auto insurance quotes for nearly eight years.[3] It’s a popular pick with busy customers who want to manage all their insurance policies in one place. The service is easy to use. You just need to input your personal information, including current policy details, to view quotes within a few minutes.
Since Gabi is an insurance broker, the company can help you compare and buy policies in one place. It’s the digitized version of in-person brokers who work at insurance agencies. But Gabi insurance isn’t the right fit for everyone. Gabi provides a limited number of quotes for some users, and the price can change after you’ve finalized your application.

How Gabi works
Gabi allows you to compare car insurance quotes from multiple companies at once. The information you share about yourself, your vehicle, and your current policy determines the quotes. The more you share, the more accurate your quotes will be.
Signing up takes a few minutes. You need to input your personal contact information, home address, and occupation. Gabi also asks for information about your vehicle and driving record, and it even has a step that lets you connect your current policy so the site can match your existing coverage.
)
Once the quotes load, you can view your options. In some cases, like this one, Gabi provides only one insurance quote.
)
If you receive multiple quotes, you can view the insurance coverage details and click for additional information about each policy. Customers with one quote can learn more about their single option.
)
You may receive multiple quotes, as shown below. Gabi provides preliminary information about the insurance company, cost, coverage details, and payment plans. A disclaimer at the bottom states that the insurance company might need to pull your credit report and review your claims history, which can affect the insurance cost. In other words, the quote might change.
Once you’re ready to move forward, you can confirm the quote on the next page. You must enter information about all drivers and vehicles you plan to include on the policy, as well as answer questions about the payment schedule, policy start date, and more. If you need help, you can call an insurance agent at 1 (323) 375-1121.

Is Gabi legit?
Yes, Gabit is legit. Experian, one of the largest fintech companies and credit-reporting agencies, acquired Gabi in 2021. Gabi doesn’t sell personal data to other companies or insurance partners.
While you must input your email address, physical address, and phone number when you sign up to get quotes, the company won’t spam you with calls, texts, or emails.

While no Trustpilot reviews exist for Gabi, we were able to find several Yelp reviews, although the most recent dates back to 2023. Reviews aren’t complimentary, with one citing that “you get what you pay for” and another echoing dissatisfaction about their rate being much higher than the quote they’d been given.
