Shopping for insurance can be confusing, especially when you are bombarded on all sides with advertisements that tell you each company is your best choice. So, how do you know which insurance companies and policies are really the best choice? Sometimes, you just have to do the leg work. Go talk to insurance agents, make notes and do your research. If you don't have time to do this "door-to-door" type of search for the right insurance, there are some tools available to help learn how to get the best value on an insurance policy.
Insurance websites can save you time and money when you need insurance quickly and do not have time for comparison shopping. Some are just for comparison shopping and others provide helpful resources and information so you can make an informed insurance purchase. Many require very little personal information to receive a quote. Even the ones that do require personal information are usually protected by TRUSTe SSL security. There are hundreds of insurance websites out there where you can begin your search. To save you some time, here are some of the most popular ones:
- EhealthInsurance
- IntelliQuote
- QuickQuote
- Insure.com
- HealthCare.gov
- InsWeb
- US Insurance Online
Information is power. These websites will help you become a more informed insurance consumer and make a wise decision when buying insurance. You should always check out a website's credibility before entering your personal information. You can check the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints registered against the company and how it handled these complaints.
