Question: Where can I compare cheap car insurance companies without spending all day on the phone? Thanks.

Answer: If we had a nickel for every time we were asked this we could get out of the car insurance business. Seriously though, the truth is, there are no good ways to compare cheap car insurance quotes without getting on the phone, going to the company web site, or visiting an agent in person.

As we have written in this space many times; car insurance quote web sites rarely deliver as promised. You wind up with a generic quote and you have to start all over which takes more time than it would have to do it the right way in the first place.

What is the right way you ask? The right way is to set aside a couple of hours and call them all. Call as many insurance people as you can stand talking to. Tell them you want the best quote they can give you for the insurance you need. Then call the next, and the next, and the one after that.

When you’re done you will have real world, actual numbers to compare. This is the best way to compare cheap car insurance companies.
