How To Purchase Car Insurance Online  

Article by Randolph Summitt

Buying car insurance used to take weeks. You’d call, ask for a quote, and wait for something in the mail. In today’s world, you can shop, compare, decide and buy in less than an hour. This is how to purchase car insurance online.

Whether you are changing companies, researching better or different coverage with your current company, or researching carriers for your first ever policy, the internet is the way to go. You can select individual company sites and sometimes even speak with a live agent through their online chat function, or even request an immediate phone call.

Newer companies have popped up that are considered “portals” – you fill out one application outlining what you are looking for for coverage, and this information is forwarded to multiple insurance carriers who might be interested in doing business with you.

When you fill out these forms, keep in mind that it is vital to be honest. If you totalled a car last year, lying about it won’t do you any good at all, especially when you start getting ballpark quotes which are provided without your submitting personal information such as license number, etc. If you see a quote you like, and want to buy the policy, your premium will skyrocket when they finish up their research into your driving and credit history. You may even be disqualified completely.

That doesn’t mean you aren’t insurable. There are carriers for everyone – young drivers, high risk drivers, and drivers who have been accused of drunk driving. Using a portal where your information is disseminated to multiple companies simultaneously helps reduce wasted time because these sites are already programmed to know where to send your application, and where not to.

Buying online can save you plenty of money, too. The more you can do without needing human intervention, the better. Companies would rather give you all the information you could possibly need in terms of articles, links and FAQs rather than hiring more employees to help you do what they’d rather have you do on your own.

Reps of course are always available for questions after your policy takes effect. You may even have someone assigned to you by region, or even be referred to a local office in the even of an accident.

Just remember to be honest with your answers on the application, and that you will need to provide your license number and social security number before any policy can be issued.
