There are several resources available to you if you want to find the cheap car insurance quotes for yourself.  An independent agent would be one place that you could start your search.  An independent agent is better than an agent that works for one company because the independent agent is authorized to give you quotes from many different companies.  Be aware though that he will still be interested in making money for himself just like all agents, insurance sales is a very competitive business.  You may also want to try a broker the only difference between an agent and a broker is that a broker will have access to even more companies than the independent agent will.

If you are willing to put in the time and do the required research there are faster options to use and they will give you access to all insurance companies.  In your quest for the cheap car insurance rates possible the internet is an invaluable tool.  You could go the each individual company’s website and wait for their reply, but this will take some time to do.  If you like, you could find your local insurance companies in your local telephone directory and if you want a company that is close to home, you can just get quotes from those companies and that will narrow your search.  There are some sites that can give you quotes from all the insurance companies at one time, this is the quickest method, but there are some concerns here.  If you go this route, be sure it is a trusted website with high ratings.  The problem is that you file one form and then the website will submit it to all the insurance companies at one time.  Different insurance companies give different discounts and that generic questionnaire may not ask you for all the information that the insurance provider will need so when they give their quote it may be given without all the needed information.  You want your provider to have all possible information about your situation so that you receive all the discounts that you qualify for.

No matter which route you choose make sure that these services are free to you no one should be charging you for a quote if they do something might be amiss.  Before you get started, gather all the information that you will need and this will also cut down on the time that it takes to get a quote.  If you are already insured have, your policy information ready another company will want to compare their offer to what you already have.  Have the VIN number of your car this way than can find out what safety features your car has and what discounts it qualifies for.  Have birth dates ready not just for yourself but for any others you want on the policy that will be driving the car on a regular basis.  Have information on your driving record at hand, it will be quicker if they do not have to look up this information.
