How accurate are car insurance marketing campaigns?

I see a lot of marketing campaigns that say you could save hundreds on your car insurance by switching companies. However, it seems unlikely that they can *all* do this—or can they?

“That’s a great question! Advertisements you see for insurance companies are true, but they do depend on a few different factors.
Insurance companies look at their rates versus competitors’ rates to determine savings. As the
average cost of car insurance
varies from person to person and even state to state, it would be impossible to calculate this number on an individual basis.
By looking at their policyholders and other companies’ data, insurance companies are able to determine the savings one may have if they switch companies.
If you are looking to switch insurance companies, the best way to determine if you can save money is by requesting
car insurance quotes online
. This will give you the best idea of whether you’ll save as much as insurance companies claim.
