- Special group discounts** that are typically not available to the general public
- Additional discounts, based on the way you drive
- The comfort of being able to talk with a trained expert counselor who can answer all your questions
- The confidence of being protected by America’s most respected insurance companies—companies that are household names
- The convenience of being able to switch your policy right on the phone—even if your current policy hasn’t expired
- The satisfaction of knowing that if you switch or not, you’re getting the best deal at the best rates
- If you need specialty auto insurance, including collector cars, boats, ATVs and more. We have coverage for almost anything you own. Please ask when you call!
Note: Every driver is different. Coverages, discounts and billing options are subject to state availability, individual qualifications and/or the insuring company’s underwriting guidelines.
How easy can I get a quote?
As easily as picking up a phone or clicking your mouse. You can:

When would my new coverage begin?
Almost immediately, if you like! In most cases your auto insurance can start the day after you apply for the coverage over the phone. If you want your new coverage to start sooner rather than later, you can get temporary insurance cards by fax. Your permanent cards will be mailed to you.
