Getting
car insurance quotes online
can be one of the best ways to save money when choosing a new policy, and you don’t have to speak to anyone if you don’t want to! But there is some information you’ll need to collect before sitting down at your computer.
First, you’ll have to get some personal information together. This includes:
  • Full name, date of birth, current address, and driver’s license number(s)
  • Vehicle information like the VIN, make, model, and any safety or anti-theft devices that are equipped
  • Previous policy information to match with a new provider.
Next, you should figure out the amount of coverage you’ll need. If you’re comparing multiple quotes, make sure each reflects the same coverage limits for
comprehensive
,
collision
, and
liability
coverage.
You should also find out what the
minimum car insurance requirements
are in your state. Keep in mind that these minimum coverages may not be enough for your needs. If you’re financing your car, you’re required to have comprehensive and collision coverage by your lender; if you have a brand-new car, it’s just a good idea! However, this level of coverage may not be necessary for older vehicles.
Using an online comparison tool like the
Jerry
app can help you find cheap insurance quotes from multiple companies in minutes—we’ll get you personalized quotes from top-of-the-line providers, so all you have to do is choose the one that works best for you. And once you do, we’ll even help you switch over! This way, you can tailor your coverage to your needs without the pressure of speaking to an agent on the phone.
Best of luck, and happy shopping!
