The Internet has Changed the Auto Insurance Industry

Because I'm all about prevention, and wouldn't think to go without insurance for all the areas of my life, as soon as I moved to a new city, I thought to check out the available insurance places right away. The first time I was in need of insurance, I was also new to the city, and didn't know where to go to find the best rates. I'd orginally started with a company that my mom had used in Calgary, but found their office was really far from my apartment. I really did do a lot of shopping around in person, and wasted a lot of time. One place took over an hour and didn't seem to understand that I'd been insured previously under my mom, when I drove her car. 

When I was back home and was in the market for car insurance, it was a different matter. I knew from past experiences that it was far too time-consuming and costly to go from place to place to sit down with an insurance broker, in order to get a simple quote. So, I began to do some research online, where I read reviews, got recommendations and found out that there were actually insurance companies that operate via the internet exclusively. Meaning, if I hadn't done that research online, I wouldn't have been able to see what their rates were!

There are so many benefits to going on the internet to find an insurance broker/insurar to go with. You can get a quote from a specific place or compare rates between several. Everything is right there in front of you, too – you don't have to worry about forgetting to ask a question. You can read blog articles and posts, and really come to an informed decision.
