How do you find new car insurance?

How can I find a new car insurance policy? I'm not completely sure that I wan't to switch providers, but I think it's time I looked around at my other options.

“Even if you like your current
car insurance company
, it never hurts to look at other options!
When it comes to finding new car insurance, comparison shopping is key. The first provider you find will not always be the best; taking your time to review your options can help save you money. Follow these steps to find good coverage at an affordable price:
  • Choose a buying method. Decide if you want to purchase insurance through a broker, agent, or directly from the insurance company.
  • Identify how much coverage you want. Read up on the different
    types of insurance coverage
    and decide what you’d like to purchase.
  • Contact providers for quotes. Get in touch with at least three different providers and request quotes.
  • Compare your offers. Read through each provider’s offer and compare them to one another.
  • Pick a provider. Choose a car insurance company from among the quotes you received and buy coverage!
  • Cancel your old policy. Lapses in coverage can lead to higher premium rates. Only cancel your policy after you’ve bought a new one.
Taking these steps one at a time will ensure you have a manageable insurance shopping experience. But if you’d rather skip all the hard work, try
