Many people these days purchase their car insurance online. The benefit is not just a quick, easy quote but the ability to compare insurance quotes from a range of companies and bag the best deal.

A recent shopping investigation by Time Magazine confirms that motorists who take the time to shop around are more likely to find cheaper insurance.

In their investigation they gave the details of a married couple to 17 insurers and the quotes provided ranged from $1,422 a year (from Geico,

our number one Top company) to a very overpriced $3,651 a year. The average quote was over $2,000. These savings are nothing to sniff at and endorse the need to spend time and effort getting a multitude of quotes.
